Bima coming in clutch. (No wordplay intended)... so Bima do you have sense of who the Rockets might spend the two spots on?
I have a theory that they agreed in principle to a Two-Way Contract with Troy Williams LAST SEASON. Not sure who the other one would be. LJ Peak, perhaps?
I'm confused by the hole 2 Way Contracts, does that give the Rocketrs(and every NBA team) 2 extra players on the roster? I know the max is 15, so do these 2 way deals count against the 15 or are they extra?
They are extra and do NOT count against the cap. They allow a team to have a 16th and 17th player on the roster, but those players cannot be on the NBA roster for more than 45 days during the season (with some exceptions) and are ineligible for the NBA playoffs unless converted to a standard NBA contract (in which case they'd count towards the 15-man roster, meaning someone else might need to be cut to make room).
Thanks a ton Bima, had no idea, appreciate the clarification. I'm not nearly as familiar with the NBA CBA and Salary Cap like I am with the NFL's CBA and Salary Cap. -Jason
