"Both Shamet and Diawara will shift to non-guaranteed contracts. But contracts now begin incurring a per-day cap/tax/apron hit. They'll both fully guarantee on Jan. XX. By my math NY has about $148K left under the second apron. So it'll be around April 2nd for a vet minimum signing. That will increase if Shamet or Diawara is waived but they'd need replaced to get NY back to XX players eventually. A trade could also free up more room under their hard cap too"

"I got asked today on a radio appearance "Why bother tweeting out some guy who getting signed knowing they'll get waived within a day" One time I tweeted about a camp signing. The player's mom emailed me within XX minutes about "How excited they were to see someone reporting on her son" and "How even a temporary contract was fulfilling a dream". The replies often come with people excited because they liked the player in college. Or they knew them from HS. When guys are in the NBA it's fun to recognize it even when it's momentary. All transactions matter to someone"

"Common question here Teams with less than XX players can carry up to three two-way players. However instead of those two-way players being capped at XXX active NBA games (up to a max of XX games for each two-way spot) the team can have two-way players active for a max of only XX NBA games. When a team fills their 15th spot the calculation reverts back to XXX total games active for two-way players. By then the amount of two-way games will have also prorated accordingly"
