One can only hypothesize what "significant guaranteed money" really means.  But it's probably better than playing in Europe.

They paid him $400k for the last day of the season just to have the option for him next season.

so is the $400k the guaranteed part then?

 

The option makes it seem so, but I am also not terribly well versed in sports contracts so I don't know.  My feeling is that regardless of whether the Knicks pick up the option for next year Roby's still guaranteed something beyond what they paid him this year...

oh man...

 

 

 

Good luck to the big fella!

Yes, they essentially paid him $400k to agree to one-year non-guarenteed contract next season. Either they'll having him locked up for next season or they'll cut him.

Nice that the head coach is a Husker and Kansas City product.

Sorta damages Sam's chances of sticking there.  But good place for Dalano.  I heard they wanted big line ups with a positionless offense (yeah, like ours); so this may be a match made in heaven, so to speak.

Sam's best hope was always going to be to latch on in the G League somewhere anyway so I doubt this damages his chances at that any.

From three days ago: "there will be exciting debuts during the Boston Celtics’ upcoming 2023 Summer League run in Las Vegas, including the C’s 2023 second-round pick Jordan Walsh (Arkansas) and undrafted six-foot-seven guard signing Sam Griesel (Nebraska)."

I believe Roby will be playing for the Knicks summer league team as well.

On the TV broadcast the other day, the announcer mentioned that Roby had received a 2-year $3.5M contract from the NY Knicks.

Am I crazy, or does Isaiah Roby now look exactly like Tyronn Lue?

Well, you might be crazy but that could be unrelated. 

 

Definitely a similar (mirrored) image, that's for sure.
