and what does that matter...do you feel like the FO needs to be more transparency about who they do or don't give exhibit 10's to?
You are trying too hard to make it seem like they wasted an asset, they did NOT. They just put the asset in storage for a year + got Lakers to pay for several of the exhibit 10's for them.
2nd round picks,
if they get signed, get some kind of $ that impacts cap space + count as a roster spot. Exhibit 10's don't.
and you are trying to defend them with an example of a contract they may not be using at all. And looking at the specifics, these players would be foolish to sign it during summer league. We've seen our own players leave our summer league team for another and go on to get signed. And any player that gets a contract counts as a roster spot and cap space. Many 2nd round picks dont get that contract until they've proven themselves after summer league, but then you would still own their rights.
What am I defending? that the Magic will use Exh 10's, some in SL - some in training camp, just like every team will.
Why would it be foolish for players who are desperate at any opportunity to get into the NBA to take a guaranteed 1 year opportunity to latch onto a team. That's totally ridiculous.
Tacko Fall just signed an exhibit 10 with Boston.The players that you've seen leave Magic SL squad are players the Magic didn't give an exh 10 or didn't draft.
The Magic can't offer every SL invite an exh 10...the limit is 6 and they likely want to save some for camp invitees.
Also, I said 2nd round picks count towards roster and cap
if they get signed. Again, if a player gets an exh 10, the Magic have their rights for a year and they become affiliate players in the G-League.
