Amida Brimah Signs Two Way Deal

[rollskies]

Hopefully we can see him getting some NBA minutes. Really exciting news

 

[awfuldan]

Awesome news! Pacers starting center Myles Turner is likely out for the rest of the year so the team needed depth at that position. Could get real minutes for sure.

 

[Palatine]

IMPOSSIBLE! I read on the Boneyard that he would never sniff the NBA.

Great kid and glad he listened to my advice. Keep in touch, Amida- Lurker

 

[boog204]

My foot has never tasted so great... Awesome news for Amida.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Does a two-way deal mean the door swings both ways?

 

[Waquoit]

Does that make him a designated player?

 

[WrenchFan69]

Absolutely incredible news. So happy for the kid

 

[CL82]

Congrats Amida!

 

[auror]

That's great news. Congrats Amida!

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

The Pacers organization has brought him back multiple times, so he certainly has some strong support there. I really hope he and Jalen are able to get a real look at some point.

Glad to see him link up with Jeremy Lamb, who is having a great shooting season. 41% from 3 and 95% from the line. Easy to forget that our 2014 season could have ended in the first round without Amida's heroic 3 pt play.

Unrelated, but does anyone know why Vital didn't play for the Memphis Hustle this G league season? I was under the impression he was signed, was paid, but didn't play a minute.

I was wondering the same thing about CV and I could never find an answer. He signed and was with the team in the bubble, but he wasn’t even listed on the team roster that would be tweeted out before the games. I was so confused. Have no clue what that was.

Curious as well. He has had a strange past twelve months between the overseas gig that didn’t end up happening and then this g league situation

 

[Huskymagic]

That’s my guy Amida doing what I said he would do make the NBA.

Guy was a physical beast wasted by Ollie.

The Pacers had to start a SF at center the other night so there should be a lot of minutes available if their injury problems continue. Still waiting on JA to get his call up to show what he has with this injury riddled season. What franchise is the affiliate for his G League team?

Pelicans. But I think after their season that just ended they are no longer affiliated with the Pelicans. Not entirely sure what the full story is there.

 

[CTGoonie]

Still the last UConn to player to score 40 in a game. Congrats big fella!

James did that this past season

 

[auror]

They changed the rules earlier this year so there's a possibility he could get playoff minutes (or play-in minutes since they're in 9th).

He’s already been in the nba… what are you typing.

Makes sense he didn’t get his call up then. Their backcourt is loaded with young guys. Would like for him to find a way to get his shot though.

You’re right and I knew that but had a brain fart. My bad. It was such an outlier for Brimah though and I think most of those were alley-oops because the opponent had no one near his height to defend him.

Agreed. Was just watching some of @tcf15 Amida Brimah highlights earlier today and was thinking the same thing. He was such a fun player to watch.

Although seeing some of the games from his senior season gave me bad flashbacks

 

[How Sway?!]

What is the typical proce range for a 2 way contract?
