FANTASTIC NEWS!
Dude is an extremely hard worker and I like the progressions he's made over the course of the season.

What is a 3 year "standard" deal?

He earned it. Let's take more chances on 4 year college guys for the bench.

We had the option of 3 or 4 years didn’t we? I guess Battle wanted the shorter term given his age to reach RFA status earlier.

Absolutely, well deserved! Glad to see the marksman get a standard contract. Now, RAPTORS, PLAY THE MANNNNNN!

I love me some Battle, hes a true sharpshooter, he competes along with good bball IQ.
He will deserve more minutes eventually, same thing goes for Walter but i do wonder how they will get some with BI, RJ, Dick and Ochai ahead of them.

It is called strategic injury recovery.

It’s always a minimum salary for these type of things, the 2way has such little leverage.

Good for him! Always love the story of an undrafted guy working hard and getting an NBA contract.

Gratz to Battle!
Signing him is like getting a second round pick for free.
Every team should have a reliable bench shooter or be developing one.
I really appreciate what the team did in that 2024 draft. It was a deep one for us!

Orlando Robinson taking Battle's open 2-way spot is probably next.
The last open spot they'll keep open for cycling 10-days, and PJ Tucker's buyout might have to wait until March 1 at the latest.

He earned it. Gives us an automatic 3 point shooter.
