Red and GMac at Buddy’s game tonight in Vegas.

All three sitting behind lakers bench watching Cole right now.

How dare they waste time scouting guys who can't even play for us.

It's obvious Red feels he's made it and isn't hungry anymore.

 

[Hopkins16]

I like that our coaches and former players are supporting each other at these summer league games. Things like this and Boeheim's Army are real examples of brotherhood and not just a slogan.

If Buddy doesnt stick in the NBA he will make a great living overseas.

This is why you keep it in house and dont throw away 50 years plus of what has been built on an outsider.

Also don't think for a second this stuff doesn't resonate with a recruit and especially their mom or dad. This is that part of your post Syracuse career where the true aspect of "family" shines through.

The upcoming W/L records will determine if that was a good strategy. Rooting for Red.

It’s always good until it’s not. But as of right now? Good decision.

Let's see where we are in three years.

Buddy signed an exhibit 10 deal with the pistons.

Good for him, and now I know what an exhibit 10 deal is.

What is an Exhibit 10 contract in the NBA?

There are a variety of contracts in the NBA, ranging from guaranteed to ten-day contracts.

So not as good as a two way but league minimum pay as long as they keep him?

 

[pwong]

Wonder if it’s another 2 way deal or just signing him so they have his G-League rights

It's an Exhibit 10 contract. Basically it's a league minimum contract with the NBA team that provides a financial incentive for that player to stick with their G-league affiliate if (likely when) they are waived by the NBA squad. I believe the bonus is anywhere from $5k to $75k but is only payable if they elect to play with the G League affiliate after being waived by the NBA club. If they get waived and decide to play overseas or something like that, then they forfeit the bonus.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

In re-signing with Detroit on an Exhibit 10 contract, Boeheim will participate in the Pistons’ training camp. It is a one-year deal with an NBA minimum salary.

Detroit can convert the deal to a two-way deal, but must do so before the start of the regular season. Exhibit 10 deals are usually non-guaranteed.

Detroit will control Boeheim’s G-League rights as well. If he spends 60 or more days with the Pistons’ G-League franchise, Boeheim will be eligible for an additional $50,000.

Yeah, biggest benefit to the player seems to be the bonus for sticking with their gleague team.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

That deal will keep him in the Pistons system and get him some NBA PT at some point this year.

Buddy aside I really don't see the Pistons playing for anything but the #1 pick anytime soon.

 

[shandeezy7]

Yup, so even if he doesn't play a minute in the NBA, he'd still make at minimum $100,000 between the bonus, training camp salary and the minimum salary if he's on the G-League team the whole season.

Does he pop up to the NBA minimum for any amount of time he spends on their roster? I know lots of borderline MLB catchers have very lucrative careers being on the roster parts of 7 or 8 seasons, while actually playing in only about 100 games for their career.

Buddy might be taking the NBA version of this career track. Just sticking around long enough to get the NBA pension and lifetime healthcare will be incredibly valuable if he decides not to go into coaching.
