Why the hell not sign him since we have half the roster open? I stand corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this signing has convinced you that we are tanking and replacing Dennis with a D-league pg? And that we're exciting? Could you provide some concrete information that backs this up or are you just projecting what you think is going to happen as reality? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted July 2, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Not sure from what I've read here that there's a general understanding of two-way contracts. Go to the glossary page on hoops rumors for a better breakdown, but essentially we just signed the first player to our new d-league team... and we get two such contracts to divvy out that give us exclusive rights to call up as needed. Some more highlights... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I more was thinking along the lines of 8 ppg - 4 asst . . . but with 45% FG and 38% 3FG shooting. That means he could come in and really affect the game in a short amount of time, with 3 point shooting and finding open shooters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted July 2, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Btw, maybe more significant than the signing itself, who do you think was the prime mover in getting Magette signed? Did Schlenk already have him on his radar and went for it, or do you think (as I do) that this was Bud's guy? If it's Bud's guy, then at least it would serve as some evidence that Schlenk isn't just all-talk in his "this is a partnership" mantra. Right? I'd say that's reason for some encouragement for those of us suspicious that this may be already a somewhat-strained relationship b/t the two.

I don't actually think he's going to come close to those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted July 21, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Beginning to wonder about the validity of this report, just because many of the two-way contracts by now have been getting announced by the teams. Nothing against Magette personally, but everyone paying any attention knows I have other ideas for how I'd like to see the Colonel use our two openings, and there are at least two PGs ahead of Magette on the list I sent over to him granting my approval.

sillent Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I posted that Magette signed a contract with us before the summer league started. I guess news is just getting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainview1981 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 This guy isn't going to be the backup PG is he? The Hawks might have found someone worst than Malcolm Delaney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear, I dredged up this thread b/c, again, it's getting curious why everyone else has announced officially one or both of their two-ways, but nothing out of ATL HQ. Looking back, was there any report from someone we've come to respect on this? Alex Kennedy, as memory serves, isn't particularly reliable. https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2017/07/201718-nba-two-way-contract-tracker.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJC reported on it too.http://www.ajc.com/sports/basketball/magette-gets-new-path-nba-with-two-way-contract/ziuhdFsk4mJUlHAHReC3KI/ Agree with you on Alex Kennedy though.

Brotha2ThaNite Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Man, these highlights will have these guys looking like all-stars lol I like his highlights. The one thing I notice, when I looked at old video, is how basketball shape he has developed his body into. That shows he's putting in work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn. I'm not sure what moves a team in a re-build to think it's a good use of the 2-way to sign a player who will be 28 friggin years old in the first month of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
