Tyrese! Great success story

Could not be prouder for the guy. Great success story. And a good selling point to recruits.

Nice glad you was able to get a contract. He surely has the body physique to do well in the NBA. Just have to hope his shooting improves more.

Always liked Tyrese!

 

[NJHusky]

Good for him...even a lower end NBA deal is security for a lifetime if properly managed

and now, from the department of NOT good news. though i suppose getting him out of that dog organization may be good news eventually

 

[REB1094]

Love it! Tyrese has played well at pretty much every professional level since leaving UConn. This is well deserved

TM is a tireless worker and is a fairly complete ballplayer.

You can get waived while you’re injured from playing for a G League team? Wow, that’s crappy. Does he still get paid?

Guys like these created the road to our current culture and success.

Deserves everything he's experiencing right now.

G league players get treated almost as poorly as minor league baseball players. It's lame the NBA hasn't come up with something to compensate them better when the NBA owners are billionaires and NBA players have contracts worth hundreds of millions.

Pretty sure two way contracts are guaranteed, so Sanogo is not out of pocket

I’d love to see a good team have a shot at using Sanogo. He’s a player that adds another dimension to any team. He’s an incredible change of style and pace for most NBA teams, but he could come into a game and turn it around. He’s still a bucket whenever he gets the ball. It’s a style issue with him. A coach with vision could probably harness it to mix things up on offense and change a game, particularly one that isn’t going well.

Martin was a warrior who was in the Donny Marshall or Jeff Adrien mold. He was as tough as they get and had way more athleticism than he got credit for while at UConn. He had a nose for the ball just a good player to have on your team. He improved his shooting while he was here and has continued to get better at making threes. A 6’5”-6’6” guard who can cover at least two positions effectively and is an above average rebounder. Good for him he deserves and has earned the right to be a full time nba player.

I think that has to be negotiated up front. Maybe it is always just a given that half the salary is guaranteed but if you research the topic it says that a two way contract is half of the minimum nba salary and that half of that is guaranteed.The minimum nba salary this year is $1.15M. So he was making $575K (probably adjusted for the games he played in the nba) and best case scenario half of that was guaranteed, but that is just my take after doing some quick research. Usually the length of the contract is limited to two years so he was getting to the end of his contract anyway. I am guessing if surgery is required that is covered if the player is released due to an injury….either way if he is going to be out four weeks there is rehab involved so who pays that.

Tyrese rocks. Been underestimated his entire career and exceed ls expectations every single time.

 

[jibsey]

Really happy for him. Wonder what he’ll get.

 

[Huskybass]

Tyrese Martin is a bad man. Love him. Literally in my handful of all time favorite Huskies.

 

[djct1999]

Get that pension bruh!!!! Congrats to Tyrese!

Awesome news about Tyrese (just saw this in the other NBA thread). It looks like the contract converted his two-way to a full contract for this year and has a team option for next season. Team deadline to pick up the option is 6/29. I don't know how those contracts work, but hopefully the Nets would take a cap hit if they don't pick up that option, or something else that makes this more likely than not that he has a full contract for next year.
