it's the rookie minimum, 898K, prorated for the days they are on the active roster. I think previously, they were only allowed to be on the main roster for like 45 days, but I believe they waived that stipulation this year because of covid.
Maybe there's a gleaguer we'll sign as our second two way that we really like for holding down the backup PG duties until Dame gets back.
It depends on how they view Keon. Keon will definitely play, question is what position. If they don’t view him as a point then Bledsoe will play imo.
I don’t think there’s a deadline on two ways this year, so we should look to sign a big for depth. Anyone over 6’8. I like Freddie Gillespie, but Oturu is available as well and he played for the clippers last season. Wenyen is cool too.
Bledsoe is underrated. He started on two Bucks teams that had the best record in the league and he’s only 32.
Just out of curiosity, if Watford were to continue to improve in the next few months (as a 2-way contract player) would we have had his rights this summer? or would he have been a free agent? I am wondering if they wanted to make sure he was locked up before that happened.
I say we "kick tires" on the guys we have rec'd in trades like more minutes for Hughes and Keon who is hopefully almost healthy
we can do both. I've long maintained Olshey's reluctance to do anything with the GLeague was a massive missed opportunity.
Neil never seemed to like to have depth. It's funny because we're talking about Wenyen, and the whole reason why Wenyen was able to play with us a couple years ago was BECAUSE Neil wouldn't go out and sign any other bigs. The guy made some great moves, but he also was just dumb as a box of rocks when it came to other things. I'll never understand it. I guess it can always be attributed to ego and hubris.
Any centers in the G league? I wouldn't mind kicking that tire just so Watford can focus on the PF position.
im referring to him repeatedly dismissing having a GLeague affiliate (i believe we are still one of the only pro teams without a GL farm team). It's not only a good way to identify potential rotational talent for the roster but also for coaches or as a way for players recovering from injury to work out kinks, etc etc.
Sure but I attribute to that depth as well. Outside of guards, we were pretty horrible at developing bigs, and to me it's about having a good developmental system which includes the G League.
Great signing. We need quality depth for cheap. Glad we were able to lock him into a cheap deal for 4 years.
the ones that are available (that I know of) are more like watford than traditional centers. Doubt any of them would play but it’d be nice to have the depth just in case. And it’s always good to take a look at guys you could possibly develop for the future. We’ll have plenty of roster spots next season. I think Freddie Gillespie is good enough to play in the NBA, for example.
