I wouldn't call a $508,891 salary "almost nothing".
Both. There were a couple posts about dropping a bag for a kid from North Dakota State...who has not entered his name into the portal.
Ah, ok. I thought that was just some posters hoping for Nelson to transfer, didnt know there was legitimate smoke about him transferring to Marquette.
I would agree that Joplin improved and that Chase has the ability to improve. But OMax was the primary defender on Jordan Hawkins in games #2 and #3 v. UConn, and he had two of his worst games of the year. A likely first round pick!Joplin doesn't have that ability and I'm not sure Chase is going to improve that much.
I don't think there is?
Curious how this is enforced?
I disagree goose. Better scorer, better rebounder. More chase Ross time for energy. Net positive
What makes you think that about Ross?
I think he will improve no doubt, but I meant to the OMax level.
I believe you are the one who initially posted about Nelson, yet he is not in portal, no rumors of his leaving and no MU or any other school mention whatsoever. Not relevant at this time at all, just a random player in the NCAA basketball arena.
I don't believe that is an accurate $$$ amount.Spotrac has non-guaranteed listed. If that is the $$$ amount then great for him!
I posted a link of the guy because I hadn't seen him before and he looked incredibly talented. There is no smoke about him leaving to go to Marquette. That was never said.
Agree - there will be a drop off initially defensively but think as the season goes on, we will be as good if not better as a unit. We’ll see more Ben Gold/Oso lineups when opponents personnel permits and Jop/Ross both have very high ceilings. Jop showed a ton of improvement already last year. Offensively we’ll be far more dangerous in the half court. Jop on the floor will force opponents to guard him on the permitwr, something they didn’t do last season against omax. More driving/passing lanes for Tyler and will make our high post back cut action even more lethal.
https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2022/07/2022-23-nba-two-way-contract-tracker.html"The NBA has carried over some rule changes for two-way deals that were first introduced during the 2020/21 season. Rather than being limited to 45 days with their NBA teams, two-way players are eligible to be active for up to 50 of their team’s 82 regular season games. And instead of having their salaries determined by how many days they spend in the NBA, they’ll receive flat salaries of $508,891, half of the rookie minimum."
But he wasn't signed to the two-way contract until early March. He isn't earning the full $508k.
Didn't realize he was such a liability. I guess Shaka should have just cut him then.
He’d already signed an initial two-way after the draft. They released him after the injury — I’d imagine he received an injury settlement for the full value of the contract, but maybe I’m extrapolating too much NFL knowledge.EDIT: yeah, those contracts are guaranteed.
I’m just looking at how our roster dynamic changes with him possibly not returning. Similar to Justin leaving two years ago, I do think it will be a net positive given the multitude of options available.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
wadesI am a big Omax fan and I agree with you. In addition, if replaced by Chase or Joplin it takes one less option off the bench. Aside from his defense, he also had some size. If he is not replaced, my expectations for next year drop quite a bit. I do not believe that Shaka would roll the dice on not replacing him, but time will tell.
