The Boston Celtics and Jalen Bridges have agreed to a deal, league sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social. Bridges will compete for a two-way spot in training camp. Bridges was a two-way player with the Phoenix Suns last season, appearing in eight NBA games.

I liked Bridges in his draft, and seems a good guy to try and develop. He didn't wow in SL, but was pretty solid imo.

Krawczynski says Garza is more predictable and has that one great skill. He's a bona fide scorer, but needs to be in lineups that allow him to play despite his weaknesses. Minott has a legit and long NBA body and has shown real skill, but has been inconsistent. Both are working hard.

Forgot to say, one other interesting thing in this pod was the part about how Brad has been quietly trying to get Garza here for a couple of years now. He's had his eye on him for a while and when he became available signed him to a 2 yr GUARANTEED deal, not one. Clearly Brad believes in this kid. I wonder if in the midst of all the Simons talk, and the disappointment of all that we lost this offseason that these Minnesota guys are being dismissed as after thoughts and/or cannon fodder when the commitment made by Brad to these 2 this offseason might suggest that they might be the 2 most important X-factors for this team this upcoming season.

We're now at 22 guys on the offseason roster:
That's not allowed lol, we can only be at 21.
So I'm assuming someone (probably Aaron Scott? Maybe Gray, maybe Luis? Maybe Harper? Is about to get waived in order to make room for the Brown and Bridges signings.
It's probably Scott, Gray or Harper about to get waived since they are just going to be on regular g league contracts so they don't really need to be at camp..

The only requirement is to not have more 21 contracts at any given point. Pretty sure they just announced some of the camp deals before they are actually signed. Some of those guys headed for Maine are going to be signed a training camp deal for a day before getting waived and they'll cycle multiple guys through the last couple roster spots that way.

A lot of the guys might even get cut before training camp. That allows them to go play in Maine and get that bonus.

Maybe this belongs here. Great production piece to hype our rookies, I wish it was a little longer. We got some quality young men added to the squad, now let's watch them grow.

Kind of, yeah. But him and Aaron Scott were both guys who:
a) undrafted
b) were not even considered guys who could maybe get drafted
c) didn't even really get off the bench for our SL team except for like 1 or 2 games at the end of SL..and by that time most teams were resting their good players..like by that time guys like Flagg and Harper and stuff had been shut down and most teams weren't even really trying to win. Like that hawks team we played was sitting like 4 of their 5 best players
I figured it was either Gray or Scott getting waived. Neither is an NBA player imo..both just headed to g league.
