Re: Summer league roster
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.

Re: Summer league roster
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

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.
