Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[F Gump]

I almost think at least two of the two way spots are not developmental spots.    They are guys who just missed out on a numbers game of making the 15 man roster but can be productive when their number is called during the long NBA season.    I don't think the two way spots are best for development.    Teams are looking for more mature players with these two way spots who can help NBA teams now.

GREAT point about the 2 ways. 

I have noticed that reality, that teams are now using those spots on supplementary players they will use and need real contributions from in some way. 

But it never really coalesced into my summer thinking of what they are considering as they fill those slots. Thus the criteria becomes the ability to perhaps contribute in some way when called upon, rather than raw players who are being developed and are not ready.

Thanks for the light bulb moment!
