Experience matters but RayJ looking better than #7 pick Fears.

So the only riskless way to keep Q, RayJ, Freeman, and Peter is to give one on them a standard contract so the other three can get two-ways.


One of the only 100% riskless ways, yes. Some combination of promoting people to the main roster and signing others to the two way spots.

Caitlin doesn't think Kam is ready to be the third point guard.

On that post summer league, Setting the Pace,... Chad said they drafted him as a 2, that could be a secondary ball handler,... much like Drew. But, they played him at the point in summer league, just to see if he could do it, & were happy with the results,.. for summer league, not for the season.

With RayJ and Q each on two-ways and able to play 50 games a year, they may feel they're okay without adding another point guard on a standard contract. if so, I can see Freeman going the way of Oscar and not getting a contract except maybe with the Boom. Peter would then be the third two-way and Bradley would stick at least until the trading deadline.

Yeah,... Kam is already signed to a standard contract. So, if they think that RayJ can be the 3rd PG on a 2-way, & if anyone gets hurt Kam could fill in as a 4th PG? Then they are probably covered?

Just looked at Spotrac & Kam's contract is something I've never seen before?... It' says he has no cap hit in 25-26? That he was paid in cash, up front for the year? His second year is partially guaranteed & shows the cap hit, etc.,.. as does the 3rd & 4th non-guaranteed years? Not sure how that works?....

Edit: Nvm! It must be a website error,.. the explanation above says that he has a cap hit this year at the same value as his cash payment. So,... all good. LOL :D

It’s a weird new CBA quirk that 2nd round exception guys don’t count against the cap/tax/apron until 8/1, so that they don’t hinder the order of operations for teams and their summer transactions.
