Hmm, I did not know that. I thought if he went to the D League and we held his rights he would have to count
against the 15 man roster.

Thanx

Sorry, I was away this weekend. I looked it up on Larry Coon’s FAQ and think I have an understanding.

“If the player is already under contract to, or signs a contract with a non-NBA team, the team retains the player’s draft rights for one year after the player’s obligation to the non-NBA team ends. Essentially, the clock stops as long as the player plays pro ball outside the NBA. Players are not included in the team’s team salary during the regular season while the player is under contract with a non-NBA team.”

It seems even if he signs with a D-League team, the Bucks can retain his rights, though he won’t be on the roster. And if he goes to Europe, the Bucks seem to keep his rights for sure.

I guess this writer doesn’t answer questions regarding his own blog. Strange.

I think we just lost him for nothing. We did not make him an offer by September 6th. Due to his poor showing in the Summer League, I don’t think there will be any rush for his services. He might have to go overseas just to remain a professional ball player.

You may be mistaken on Tiny, although I am not 100% sure myself. I think if he went to the D League and the Bucks
retained his rights, he would have to be counted against the 15 man roster. Does he need to be “tendered”
for us to retain his rights overseas?

This is ok. I mean he looked pretty bad, let him work on his game and weight somewhere he can get consistant playing time. We all know he was picked to make Brandon happy, he’s just still very raw. Maybe in a year (or 2) he can make it to the league and be that much better of a player for it. He’s really young still too, he has time to grow,
