You're wrong. It doesn't matter.

I don't really like this move. They guy is almost 27. If you're going to invest in the dleague player, at least pick one with youth & SOME upside

Ok, thanks. I thought teams could have two, two way players; but the team had to have a G-League team. Damn, I've really wanted us to have a team too. I think that would be really cool.....
 
I wasn't aware of the rule that allows 2-way contract players to only be with the team for 45 days. That's not much.

I assume it's supposed to vaguely mimic baseball minor leaguers with options remaining--you can bring them up and send them down, but the expectation is that they'll spend most of their time in the minors. You just option them for emergency depth or to give them a taste of the big leagues before deciding whether you want them on the major league team next season.
 
I presume the team and player could tear up the two-way contract and sign them to an NBA contract if they decided?

Shooter with no defense. Sounds like he has a great shot to make the big club

1) Perhaps you haven't been paying attention for 5 years, but Neil's Modus Operandi has been to get shooters and try to teach them other things.

2) Why get your panties in a wad about the 16th man?

3) According to many here, Crabbe didn't play defense either, so he slots right into Crabbe spot, for essentially zero.
 
Well, this proves Neil reads this forum. I've been clamoring for more two way players since the beginning of last season.

Needle moved! It's never too soon to start planning the parade route!!!

You somehow got that my panties were in a wad from that post?
 
This two-way player thing seems really inefficient without your own DLeague team close by. And with our affiliate being far away in Boise, I don't see much use. Both for the player or the team.
 
When I saw this news on Instagram last night I had to google what a "two way deal" was.

Portland is no longer affiliated with Boise. Haven't been for quite a while. Infact, there isn't even a team in Boise anymore. The Jazz bought them & moved them to Provo.

Really? Who is now our DLeague affiliate? Seems like last year, Quarterman and Layman took turns playing for the Long Island Nets and Windy City Bulls.

We have two CJs?

Paul Allen is trying to corner the market. He currently controls half of the league's C.J.'s. If he can manage to land one of Miles or Watson, he will have a clear majority. Get them both, and he will have a monopoly.

BTW, now that C.J. Miles plays for Toronto, I think we should start calling him C.J. Kilometers.

He's played for doc rivers and the Orlando magic, hardly hotbeds for player development. So despite being 26-27, there's still an upside there.
 
I like that Blazers use the 2 way contract to sign him still leaving a space open. Actually I guess we have 2 with Ezeli being gone.

We're currently at 16 total contracts - 15 "regular" contracts and one 2-way contract. That means we currently only have one 2-way contract available, but that could easily change. We could free up two more roster spots by not picking up Connaughton's non-guaranteed contract and using the stretch provision on Andrew Nicholson. We still have our non-tax payer MLE and the $12 million TPE from the Crabbe trade. We also have a couple small TPEs from the Plumlee and Quarterman trades, but I doubt if they get used for anything.

So, Neil still has quite a bit of flexibility to add one or two more players, if the right situation comes along.

From Hoopsrumors.com
Neither Pablo Prigioni nor C.J. Wilcox currently has an NBA contract, with Prigioni transitioning to coaching and Wilcox having agreed to a two-way deal with the Trail Blazers. However, before Wilcox reached an agreement with Portland, it appeared he may reunite with Prigioni, who was his teammate with the Clippers during the 2015/16 season.

As international basketball reporter David Pick details (via Twitter), Prigioni – now the head coach of Baskonia in Spain – had been recruiting his former Clippers teammate in the hopes of signing him to a $500K contract. Wilcox will earn less than that on his new two-way deal, so remaining stateside and getting the opportunity to see a little NBA action was likely a key factor in his decision.

Didn't we already waive Nicholson

And averaged 1ppg. Who did he play for last season? I bet the majority of the people had to look that up.

Orlando, and no I didn't have to look it up

It's not a pressing matter. We have until August 31 to waive him and use the stretch provision to spread out his remaining salary over the next five seasons.

Who knows, maybe he plays his way onto the team, or maybe his current contract can be used for salary matching purposes in a potential trade. Technically, his salary can't be aggregated with another outgoing player in a single trade until two months after the Crabbe trade, but if the salaries work, it could be handled as two separate transactions.

Odds are, he'll be waived and stretched by the 31st, but no need to do it any sooner than necessary.
