I hear we may be adding Skal and another KU guy, a wing I think, both for exhibit 10s. That would imply there’d be some cuts before the cuts to make it work.

Pretty sure Exhibit 10s do not count against roster maxes

NBA teams can sign up to SIX Exhibit 10 players.  These players get camp invites and if their contracts are not converted to 2-way or standard NBA deal they are waived and have the opportunity to stay with their team's NBA G-league affiliate - at 2 months/50K rate or prorated portion of it.

[kidcarter8]

Basically

a)  stockpiles guys a team may wish to end up as two-way players (needs to happen before opening night - theoretically could have 8 guys fighting for those 2 slots))
b)  keeps players from going to Europe/China/AUS, etc
(max 50K bonus is on top of their G-league salary)

[facilitatorn]

They count against camp maxes. Myles Powell is the easy one. Cut him a couple of days before the deadline and he can go right to Westchester. I think either Theo or Harper lose a two-way spot unless MKG does not in fact make the roster due to great defensive strides from Knox and or Iggy.

Pinson and Harper - 2-way contracts

MKG and Powell - Exhibit 10

We were at 20 so one guy was going anyway.  16 to get to 15.

[facilitatorn]

We have twenty in camp. Exhibit10 contracts have to be executed in camp. To bring in Skal and James Young we have to tell two guys not making the main roster their time is up prior to the cut down date to get the two new Cats onboard.

If they are exhibit 10 guys, Powell & MKG, they can go right to the GLeague. That won’t necessarily be the way it works out.

After that we have to trim to a 15 that probably won’t involve Pinson and Harper who could start on their two ways unless someone else being more deserving of one of those spots bumps them out.

[kidcarter8]

It appears Young was signed straight to Westchester

Interesting guy

Israeli top league scoring champ last year, for guys that favor Devi

clear waivers first

Every other team needs to pass.

So if they are worried about losing MKG for instance they could waive Harper (sorry, Chip) and give Kidd-Gilchrist the 2-way

The excitement around the draft feels like it's back. Scouts joked months ago about fast-forwarding to 2021 during a prolonged 2020 process that lacked obvious star power to study. And now that we're here, evaluating new talent, most top prospects are delivering early.

NBA talent evaluators have already pinpointed at least three prospects who could have gone No. 1 over Anthony Edwards, including Jalen Green, despite the fact he hasn't played a game yet with the G League Ignite.

Oklahoma State's Cade Cunningham and USC's Evan Mobley are the other two who've generated the most reaction when discussing the class' No. 1 prospect. But other freshmen have also emerged in the conversation, and it has scouts feeling good about the depth of the 2021 class.

We’re guard and wing heavy enough that Skal & MKG could wind up as our two-ways.

Randle Obi

MKG SKal

This means Evans, Powell, Harper, Young, and Pinson will see the waiver and move on from there, hopefully some to Westchester.

Maybe James Young makes it over one of the other Cats in this scoring focused league.

[Kam]

Rumor was that Randle+Frank were on their way to the Kings for Buddy Heild but the Kings wanted the Dallas pick and the Knicks balked.

That might be why the Knicks are kicking the tires on these big men.   In case the trade warms up again.

This is probably Randle's last year with the team regardless.  So it makes sense to get a look at some guys.

[kidcarter8]

Well-crafted deal on both sides

Knicks will sign Andrew White III to an Exhibit 10 deal, league sources confirm. NYK has 20 players under contract, need to waive a player to add White III, Skal Labissiere or James Young. White III played for NYK's G League team last year. ESPN first reported White III's signing

[facilitatorn]

White and Young seem pretty comparable. Both are nice pieces, plug-n-play wings who will get you a bucket.
