given the timing I wonder if other teams started reaching out to his agent after the first SL game (he played pretty well). Magic might've had to commit quicker than they wanted to ensure he didn't get a better offer elsewhere.

I rarely complement our FO moves but this is a good move.

I had missed this:
NBA to Keep Majority of Two-Way Contract Rules in Place

HR link: NBA To Carry Over Most Of New Two-Way Rules To 2021/22


In practice this means that 2W contracts will be worth about $500k (dependent on how many active NBA days).

a) this is great news for Brazdeikis.

b) this makes the salary line very competitive to sign Timma to a 2W deal (to leave the 15th roster slot open).

Is he a better signing than the available talent at #33+? Probably not.

I think so. He is better than Bacon, MCW, and RJ.

I think we trade him for a protected 2nd. Aka nothing

He's from Canada, maybe we're grooming him for the Raptors.

By what metric?

He’s played 20 games total for 3 teams in 4 seasons.
