How does that work then if they want to keep him but not on the NBA roster? Does he just go to a random G-League team?
Denver had an affiliation agreement with Sioux Falls last year and placed a couple players on the Sioux Falls team. Likely where Monte would end up as that contract would be renewed.
If he is playing in Sioux Falls, I would have to pick up season tickets. Skyforce games are a lot of fun and we have gone multiple times to watch Bubu and Nader play here!
I think he has a good chance of sticking. They'll probably get rid of Jordan Hill or Adreian Payne to make a spot for him. But certainly could be back and forth to DSM
With the big guys they have on the roster, there should hopefully be no chance. Jordan Hill is gone, Payne gone, Aldrich didn't play a lick by the end of the season, and Bjelica is more of a stretch 4 and he's coming of foot surgery. Minnesota also will probably let Shabazz Muhammad and Brandon Rush go in FA, so Deonte should have a shot at a 2 way contract to come up for a game or two at a time to be instant offense off the bench if he plays well in the summer league.
I think Thibs loves Bazzz, but I wouldn't be too upset if they let go of Black-hole Bazz, but wish they would've traded him for something if they are just going to let him walk.
They told him they want to resign him, but if he gets a big offer in RFA, I don't see them going crazy to match. $7-8 mil a year they bring him back, but with extensions for Wiggins and KAT coming up, no way they're giving him the kind of money Kent Bazemore got last year, which could happen if someone needs scoring.
