Oshae Brissett: Brooklyn G League

[Orangezoo]

I don't think there was a lot of negotiating to be done.

Yeah he can certainly outperform his contract as he is doing but he wasn't getting some more lucrative offer out of the blue

 

[shandeezy7]

I wonder if he regrets signing the contract he just did. It seems a bit on the low side now especially with the way he is playing. But can’t fault him at all for locking in guaranteed money.

I don't think most of it is guaranteed:

Indiana Pacers Sign Versatile Forward Oshae Brissett To Multi-Year Contract, Immediately See Results

The Indiana Pacers signed Oshae Brissett to a multi-year deal on Wednesday. It only took a few hours for it to pay off.

Reports suggest that the money in the final two seasons of the agreement is non-guaranteed, meaning that if things don’t work out between the Pacers and Brissett, the two sides can split up easily.

Yeah, I think it's extremely likely that Hughes played his last minutes this season already.

Hopefully, he looks at Oshae as a model, work on his game, be ready, be patient and ball out when he gets a chance. He def has NBA skillsets.

It's funny -- a month ago, the kid would have cut off his hand to merely get signed long term.

Now we're debating [based upon merit] whether the THREE-YEAR contract he signed is too low.

Kudos to Oshae for making this a conversation. Hard to imagine a guy making more out of a 10-day contract opportunity, to the level he has.

[rrlbees]

that sucks for them. He’s their 2nd best player right now.

Brogdon may return so not all is lost for the Pacers.

yet Sabonis is a game time decision again.

Yikes, didn’t realize that. They’ve had a lot of bad luck down the stretch.

People always talk about earning that 2nd NBA contract which I guess this would be considered but what about the 3rd contract, like the 60 million that Jerami Grant received. Now we are talking life changing. Keep working hard Oshae. People will notice.

Short interview with the coach about Oshae after the last game and then a little bit of Oshae’s interview.

"Just sticking with who I am. Not trying to go out there and prove anything or be anything that I'm not. I know Coach Nate likes me for who I am as a player, and that's really what has kept me grounded and helped me the past couple games," said @Obri

I agree with this and I’m sure that’s why he signed it when he did. But with the way this whole thing has played out the pacers got a steal.

 

[rrlbees]

Sabonis has been cleared to play.

Laverts is out at least 10 days due to covid. Feel bad for the kid. He’s the one that was traded from the nets to the pacers and during the pacers physical they found a malignant tumor on his kidney which was removed. He says the trade may have saved his life.

Good for Oshae on Sabonis but CL being out really hurts.

 

[rrlbees]

Brogden might play for the first time in a month

 

[rrlbees]

Brogden is playing and so is Aaron holiday who has been out a couple weeks.

 

[rrlbees]

Had the first reb of the game, had the first ast and made his first 3 attempt.

Stop the fight!

Stop the count!!

FIFY.

Amazing to watch Brissetts transformation into a legit nba 3

 

[rrlbees]

2-2 from 3 and a dunk for 8 pts. Did get beat bad on defense once for a dunk.

 

[Dcuse]

Be honest...WHO SAW THIS COMING???
I gave him a snowballs chance in hell of being any factor in even a meaningless NBA game and he shoved it down my throat. And I couldn’t be happier for him.

 

[MDCuse]

I can't tell you how excited I am for Oshae. Seems like such a good kid. He clearly has put in serious work to improve himself. He stuck with it and he deserves every minute and every dollar coming his way.

He’s growing up right before our eyes.

 

[rrlbees]

Played 11 mins in the 1st qtr and had 8 pts, 1 reb, 2 asts. Will now sit for awhile in the 2nd qtr.
