Per his IG.

This is Dames cousin that got a training camp invite last year...
 
So I was going to ask about 2-way players, and this seems like a good thread to do so.

Can you be a 2-way player for more than one year?
Are Hoard and Moses gone already?
How many can you have?
Do they affect the cap?
So, when Olshey says we're staying at 14, that doesn't include 2-way players?

I assume you are asking because you figure if the Blazers will sign a guy who shot 28% in the G-league, that they might sign me? I'm sorry but the answer is no; my 75 year old knees could not even do it for one year.
 
whats the salary of a 2-way contract? Is he seriously the best they could do?

I think it’s a $450k flat salary this season. Doesn’t count against the cap though. Also, they can spend 50 games with the team, as opposed to 45 days, so Dame will be happy!
 
When Dame was interviewed and indicated they didn't get exactly what he wanted.....maybe this is what he was referring to. :bgrin:
 
Hopefully, we can use the other one for an actual player like Bowman

You mean what he told Quick? I don't think the exact quote was that we didn't get what we wanted.

But maybe it was, we reportedly targeted Aaron Gordon with the same offer that ended up going to RoCo.

That why I didn't put it in "quotation marks", but that was the gist of what was said from what I remember. They were reading off the interview when I heard it on the radio. Perhaps someone who subscribes can post the exact quote.

This is the quote. I don't think it's quite what the same meaning as "we didn't get what we wanted".

So we didn't get the guys he had his eye on. Okay....

I commend Dame for always being positive about whomever Portland has. Meyers, Tolliver, ET, Mario....whomever. That's great.

There was no two-way player signing that was going to have any impact on this season barring, so who cares? If a two-way player is giving you actual minutes, your season is already dead.

Because it's just stupid. Of course it's very unlikely that any two-way player would end up helping the team in a tangible way but this guy has no business being anywhere near an actual NBA roster. It's a joke.
 
Maybe we weren't going to use this two way spot and he is going to practice, take care of, quarantine, etc with Dame? Almost like an assistant coach.

As long as we can cut/sign new two way later I'm fine with it... (or if it was actually basketball driven)...

that actually makes me wonder; since contracts of two way guys are a flat rate this season, would they get paid the 450k even if they got cut?
