Paying him This month hopefully he gets good playing time. They think highly of him but don’t play him that much.

I think they only have 7 guys on the roster at this point. He'll get minutes.

This is lot better deal than the poison pill contract some teams were rumored to give him and snag him away from us,it's a win-win.

This seems fishy... I feel like he could have earned a lot more. I'm a Bron fan, but for his company to keep a young talent on his team at this price...

Dude average 9pts a game, below average shooter and ok defense. What’s all the hype around this guy? Why should he deserve more???
