Boat signs with the Nets

[aceboon]

BKN just signed Shane Larkin to a 2 year deal. Definitely not a good sign for Boat.

just came to post the same thing. time for Boat to put on a good show for the rest of the league in SL play.

As much as I would've liked to see him on the Nets, there are 29 other teams that can bring him in for training camp and offer him the chance to win a spot.

Yep there are greener fields. Plus BKN has a decent amount of guards too.

As a nets fan I woulda loved this. Best of luck boat

Looks like Mama Boat was right about that 2 year deal:

Great news for Boat, looks like the Nets have some maneuvering to do with the PGs on their roster

I heard they might ship D. Will.

Normally, players with Boatright's contract arrangement get a partial guarantee upfront with additional increments being paid as the player passes certain milestones. The second year is often guaranteed similarly. Cory Jefferson, for example, is scheduled to be paid $75,000 on July 15, then in rising increments through the opening of training camp, when he would be fully guaranteed.

Boatright, although undersized, is a solid three point shooter. A starter on UConn's 2014 NCAA championship team, he averaged 17.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists this past season. Boatright also shot 41.1 percent from three-point range on over six attempts per game. He went undrafted and was signed to the summer league team the day after the Draft. Of the summer league players, he and Cliff Alexander are given the best chance of making the final roster.

Looks like Mama Boat was right about that 2 year deal:

How is it only partially guaranteed? I thought NBA contracts are fully guaranteed.

 

[J187Money]

They can be. But not automatically.

 

[UCHuskies08]

Does that mean they are free to cut him with minimal cost?

Yes. 75k is chump change compared to what contracts are usually guaranteed for.

 

[Walker11]

Yes. 75k is chump change compared to what contracts are usually guaranteed for.

Boat isn't making the guaranteed million as a first rounder but I have to imagine that 99% of the graduating class would be psyched to make, at worst if he gets cut, 75k for a 2 month stint.

Boat did graduate, correct?

 

[CL82]

Yes. 75k is chump change compared to what contracts are usually guaranteed for.

For a new college grad $75k walking around money is a (relative) fortune. The Nets left themselves options. This cash gives Ryan flexibility as well. It's a good thing. I wouldn't bet against this kid, ever.

No

Boat just checked in for Brooklyns summer league team against Memphis. See at NBAtv.

He's guarding Andrew Harrison too, let's see if he can make him his b**** like in the 2014 championship game.

 

[444JR]

Boat just checked in to his first summer league game for the Nets on NBAtv. Playing the Grizzlies and running the point against Andrew Harrison. I'm flush with memories of the 4th championship!

Earl Clark jacking like a , go to Europe man

 

[johnhuskies95]

If you give the ball up to Earl Clark in this game you're not getting it back.

 

[aceboon]

Please waive Earl Clark at the half, Boat with a nice move for a pull up 3

 

[johnhuskies95]

Defender goes under a screen and Boat drills a three.

 

[Bezzz]

Boat with a sweet J... 1 for 1.
