The mans has been killing it in the G-league not sure if it would transfer to the Nba but we might need him next year.Why did we not just sign Donte Grantham to a ten day contract if we liked what we saw give him another one or sign him?

10-day contracts aren't available yet. According to Mike Schmitz at the G-League showcase, Grantham was on a radar for NBA teams.

I believe the 10 day contracts start January the 1st right?Dont get me wrong I like the pickup but If I'm right Gramnthan can only play for Okc 15 games because he was picked up later in the season.Do you know if that correct or not?

Not sure where you got approx 15 games. He's signed to a two-way contract which allows him 45 days called up to the Thunder, excluding travel days. They'll just send him back and forth to save days just like what they're doing with Burton.

Okay here is what I read.It is more than 15 days but he want get the full 45 days the way I understand.

If a team waives a two-way player midseason, can they sign another one?
Yes. However a player signed mid-season will have a prorated amount of NBA days to use. So, if he’s signed exactly halfway through the season, then he could get 22–23 days with the NBA club (not the original 45 a player gets if they sign before the season).
How teams will utilize these deals mid-season is yet to be seen. Some will certainly be waived, while some may be converted to standard NBA contracts. Either option will open another spot for a new player to potentially get an NBA look.

The only reason I knew it was I was looking it we could sign Billy Preston when the cavs waived him and ran across it.

Honestly, if he showed up as the Mavs starting center tomorrow I wouldn't even recognize him.

Is seen him quite a bit when he was at Clemson he's is a smart basketball player that playes like every play is his last.He was more of a mid range shooter his first few year at Clemson but from what I read a few days ago he worked on his shooting form and increased his 3 point% 9% since his freshman year.

Probably the most impressive thing about Tyler Davis is that he managed to have a thread go 16 posts and counting.

He is averaging 17.2 points, 11.6 rebounds and 2 blocks in first 15 games that not a bad stat line even if it's the G-league.I not sure he's game would translate well to the nba but seems he is a solid player to go over seas and have a good Career.

Davis is too slow for the NBA, tbh.
