Memphis is signing O-Max to a standard NBA contract.

Good for him! 

I hope he continues to get time to develop there, and I hope he takes advantage of it. He has already beaten the odds a little by earning a 2nd chance, so it's kind of a long shot, but I'm pulling for him.

I liked the first viewing of the new two way guy from Yale.  Not saying he is an NBA player or even deserves a two way spot, but I thought he came in and made some things happen.   Seemed to be active and showed good movement.    This year will be a huge trial for him as those two way spots are highly competitive.

I liked the first viewing of the new two way guy from Yale.  Not saying he is an NBA player or even deserves a two way spot, but I thought he came in and made some things happen.   Seemed to be active and showed good movement.    This year will be a huge trial for him as those two way spots are highly competitive.

I believe the guy was a senior (John Poulikdas) at Yale.

He played basketball at Yale for four years. In the last three years, he never averaged under 40% from the three-point line (good volume too). He now holds the Clippers G League record for three pointers made in a game (10). His highlight game was where Yale beat Auburn in the 2024 NCAA tournament. He scored 28 points and was 6 of 9 from the 3 pt line.

I mean you just have to see what this guy can do. No?

"The lack of exclusivity is what allowed Poulakidas to sign with Dallas, but his new contract is less flexible. Unless he is waived, Poulakidas will be with the Mavericks organization for the rest of the season.

For a full season contract, a player may play up to 50 games for the major league club, and receive a salary equal to half the rookie minimum, according to the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement. In the 2025-2026 season, a two-way player would earn $636,435 for a full season. If this contract is signed partway through the season, both the salary and game limit are prorated. Poulakidas’ contract thus allows for up to 12 games on the Dallas Mavericks and a $153,622 salary. "

I wonder how many people who played Yale in 2023 and 2024 knew they were playing against two future NBA players (sort of).  Danny Wolf was on that team for two years prior to transferring to Michigan.
