+/- 10 minutes Pre All Star Break type of player, feel like he could see big increase for the final 28 games...

Although I was underwhelmed, Im glad they signed him but why do people think wing span guarantees minutes? You have to be able to play the game.

I was joking because Hammond loves lanky players like him.

Surprised at the size of the deal - it certainly shows Weltham like the kid.

Two years guaranteed at a little over a million per year. He's eating up less than 2% of the cap space. They're willing to pay him that even if his only role is to go at it hard everyday in practice.

Nothing at all wrong with paying a guy just over a million dollars a year for 2 years. Happy for him.

It's more than the 31st pick got so I am a little surprised.

I'd be keen to see the yearly breakdown.

If he can give 12 pts 4 rebs I would be thrilled. And hopefully he does cause that would help us out tremendously

I'm completely on board w/ Mario turning it around! Maybe an offseason with Mario & Biz working with Forcier will actually make a difference.

If Iwundu can become a reliable defensive player I'll be happy with him. Offensively I think he gets swallowed up by the rest of the roster, so defense is going to be where he makes his money.

Mario does have a bit of an acne problem. :oops:

Happier with this now I've seen the numbers. According to Josh Robbins, Iwundu will earn approx $2.4 million in his two guaranteed years with just over $1.6million unguaranteed for the third year. His second year salary is basically the minimum a player can earn after one year's service in the NBA.

Going to tell my boss this

Meh, he wouldn't have been my pick, and he looked average with the summer league players.

Rooting for him but I wouldn't have guaranteed the 2nd year

His agent is quoted as saying there is a partial guarantee on year 3.

So Iwundu looks certain to cash in at least 2.5M for his NBA career.

I don't think Mario has any type of breakout year let alone average 12ppg playing behind Simmons, Ross, and possibly ji.
