In the past night, the NBA signed two more contracts, Thomas Jr. got his wish, got a season-ending contract, and Collison wanted to emulate Thomas Jr., first join the development league, and then wait for the attention of the NBA team.
The Hornets officially announced that the team signed Thomas Jr. until the end of the season.
Thomas Jr. had previously signed a 10-day short contract with the team, and he won the trust of the team with his outstanding performance. During this time, Thomas Jr. played in 7 games for the Hornets, averaging 9.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2 assists per game. In addition to his on-court contributions, he can also provide experiential help to this young team off the court, Bridges said: "He's been in the league for a long time, he's an All-Star, he's almost elected MVP, he's played in the playoffs, he's done everything, so when he speaks, everyone is listening, especially me and Ball. ”
Really want to congratulate Thomas Jr., after many attempts, finally got his wish and stayed in the NBA. Previously, he signed a 10-day short contract with the Lakers and the Lone Rangers, but unfortunately failed to stay, and then chose to join the development league, where he was full of fire and proved his worth to the NBA team. In the end, his efforts paid off and he got the opportunity to get the NBA as he wished. The Hornets are currently in 9th place in the East, 1 win away from the front Nets, and the play-offs are not suspenseful, depending on what ranking to play.
Thomas Jr.'s success has also allowed other teams to follow suit, and Darren Collison has also chosen to join the Development League and officially sign a contract with the South Bay Lakers, a development league under the Lakers.
The South Bay Lakers currently rank second in the Development League with a record of 17 wins and 9 losses, and the signing of the two sides is also considered to be what they need, the South Bay Lakers are more likely to compete for the championship, and Collison wants to win a contract from the NBA through performance. This season, Collison signed a 10-day contract with the Lakers, but unfortunately did not perform well, averaging only 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game, and finally did not get a regular turn. Collison's ability is also good, he can contribute 12 points and 5 assists per game in his career, but unfortunately, after retiring in 19 years, his form has been much worse than before.
Now that the Lakers have no place, they have signed DJ Augustine, who also performed well, and in the last game to beat the Cavaliers, he scored 20 points on 6-of-6 three points, becoming a Surprise. Collison wants to return to the NBA and can only wait for the attention of other teams.
