Baldwin is also repped by priority which has a good relationship with Olshey. I'm sure Portland wasn't the only team interested in Baldwin. Their reputation in developing and giving young players opportunity probably helped land him, because a guy like Baldwin could've went overseas, made more money, and returned to the league later. He's only 21, tying himself to one team on a gleague salary isn't the most ideal situation, unless it's with a team like Portland. I could see Olshey and his agent having some sort of under the table agreement that Baldwin would get the full 45 days on the active roster, and eventually an NBA contract.
