Right now he’s basically trying out for any team who may be interested. Suns roster is pretty much set. He could still sign a two-way contract with them, but I’d say it’s just as likely that he’ll get picked up by another team. Lots of unsigned players play in the summer league for one team and end up at another team’s training camp. 

What is a two-way contract?

It's a player contract for potential NBA players who can move back & forth between the NBA team and their G-League affiliate.

Unless the superstar plays for a small market team and then you will see them get their six foul on some skechy calls....(IE Giannis in Milwaukee has fouled out twice in the last two years in the post season on a ball that should have been ruled a jump ball and an offensive foul that was probably a 50/50 call....if it was KD or Lebron, never would he been called for either foul)

Good point

10 fouls per player? I think only Aaron Craft could foul out of that league.

Not if Big Ten refs had their way. Craft usually finished with 1 or 2 fouls, somehow.....

Well he was a hard worker who just brought his lunch pail every day and found a way to help his team win. Or so the announcers would have led you to believe.

JPJ just signed a one year deal with the Clippers. He now joins a long list of All-time Clipper greats such as Danny Manning, Ron Harper, and of course franchise 3-point leader Eric Piatkowski!

might be the hardest roster in the league for him to actually get called up, but i guess you never know with injuries. sounds like he gets a 50k bonus plus 35k if he plays in g-league. not a bad deal.

Great for James.  Great wing players to learn from.

Evan Taylor played for the Clips' G-League team last season. Maybe the two of them will team up together again.

Maybe Tim should show up in the coaches' offices tomorrow, just in case there's some time warp factor we've not factored into the 2019-2020 equation.

The LA Clippers are taking-on the Yao Ming-owned Shanghai Sharks in a preseason game from Honolulu.  Being televised on NBATV right now.

 

JPJ got 5 minutes of playing time (and 3 points) in their first preseason game against the Rockets, so you may have a better chance of catching a glimpse of Ty Lue in his Hawaiian shirt.

Maybe JPJ got another year of eligibility.  I'd definitely be OK with that.

JPJ is starting the 4th quarter for the Clippers against the Nuggets and again getting his shot at running the offense.  Sharing the ball with another former B1G star in Amir Coffey.

It’s too bad he got cut already. I wonder if he had stayed with Phoenix where he had a favorable summer League had he had a better shot. Here’s hoping he gets a shot through the G League to get back to the league soon.
