And most likely waive Abdel Nader from his NBA contract.

I think that we should Sign Jabari Bird to an NBA contract.
And also, sign Jarrod Uthoff and Pierriá Henry to Two-Way contracts.

If Henry is not available, then sign Hassan Martin to a Two-Way contract.

Note:
It is possible to sign 2 x Two-Ways, and later promote or waive one or both.
And then sign 1 or 2 other players to Two-Way contracts, before the Deadline.

For that reason, there are up to 3 options.


Does it make sense to sign older players like those to two ways? I thought the point of the contract was to keep players you believe could have upside and could help potentially in a year or two. Neither would be available for the playoffs if needed. Martin makes some sense as he's just a year out of college and looks to have some upside, I would look at other teams first though to see if they have a roster crunch and do not have a two way to hand out.

They had a few guys go undrafted that had some upside like Duval, Trier, etc...that will prob get two ways with their summerleague team. McCoy hardly played any minutes with Bucks, as a one and done maybe he'd be worth a flyer? Or somone like Wood, who had a great summerleague. I just remember both Kobe Simmons and Motley going undrafted last summer and both look like they could be decent rotational players now.


Bird and Semi and the 6 minutes of Williams were the good news of the C's SL. Yabs was a push. If I were the C's, controlling the Claws, I would make that a mega-defense team so that guys like Yabs could go down there to refine defensive techniques in the right environment. (The few big-league potential players of course you want to be more two-way in talent.)

I know who they shouldn’t sign to a two way contract.... Hassan Martin or Pierria Henry. Those guys don’t stand a chance. They’re Abdel Naders to Abdel Nader.

Uthoff isn’t worth it either. Sign him to the red claws maybe.

Good Passer, solid handle aggressive driving into the lane. Some nice cuts. Shot form looks wierd to me. Doesn’t seem confident in the shot. We get to see one defensive play and he uses his body really well to contest.

Good size seems to have a decent wingspan in the video.
Bet with Stillwater Celtics will finish 6th or higher in ECF Standings Regular Season(17-18). [WON]

The goal should be to find somebody we can see a future with. We went 1 of 2 our first year. If the 76ers don't pull the trigger, I would give one to Cameron Oliver. We need to be looking at other team's rosters.

Actually I think the goal also should include guys that can play in a pinch on the big club. Oliver would be great.


Yeah, that would obviously helpful. I just don't think that is goal number 1 with these guys. We had a whole lot of stuff go wrong last year and Jabari Bird still barely saw the court.

He played a lot over the last 4 games of the season when we shut things down. He logged 37 minutes over the first 78 games.
