At what point does the two way contract (I thought that is what he signed) convert to a guaranteed NBA contract? For some reason I thought there were limits on how long players on two way contracts could used in NBA games with two way contract pay.

Either way, looks like he is making the most of his opportunity.

  • They will act as a 16th and 17th roster spot for NBA teams beginning next season (2017-18).
  • The player can spend up to 45 days with the NBA team that signs him, although no time is guaranteed.
  • The rest of the player’s contract must be spent in the G-League, either for the team’s affiliate or another’s if the team he signs with doesn’t have a G-League affiliate yet. For the 2017-18 season, the G-League will represent 26 of the NBA’s 30 teams.
  • The player’s pay comes on a tiered salary system, which can last one or two seasons. While in the G-League, the player will make $75,000. It’s a significant increase from the current pay structure for G-Leaguers, who cannot make more than $26,000 with a one-way G-League deal.
  • When in the NBA, a player with a two-way contract will accrue a day of service and make money consistent with an NBA rookie minimum, which is about $816,000 next season. If a player spends 45 days in the NBA, he could make around $204,000.
  • In total, a two-way player who spends the maximum amount of time in the NBA would make $279,000.
