Garrett Temple‘s new one-year contract with the Bulls is worth exactly the amount of the room exception ($4.767MM), according to Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports (Twitter link). However, Chicago is an over-the-cap team without the room exception available and used a portion of its mid-level exception to complete its deal with Temple.
Meanwhile, Noah Vonleh‘s one-year, minimum-salary contract with the Bulls is entirely non-guaranteed for the time being, per Smith (Twitter link). Vonleh won’t have to wait too long to find out whether or not that money will be guaranteed though — if he’s still on the roster through opening night, he’ll receive his full guarantee, Smith says.
Here are several more details on newly-signed contracts from around the Eastern Conference:
- Justin Anderson‘s two-year, minimum-salary contract with the Sixers has a $125K partial guarantee in year one, while Ryan Broekhoff‘s one-year, minimum-salary deal with the club is non-guaranteed, according to Smith (Twitter links).
- Tyler Johnson is already assured of his salary for 2020/21, as his one-year, minimum-salary contract with the Nets is fully guaranteed, per Smith (Twitter link).
- Kelan Martin‘s new two-year deal with the Pacers features a $723K partial guarantee in year one and is non-guaranteed in year two, tweets ESPN’s Bobby Marks. Indiana is now over the luxury tax line by $577K, though I expect the team will look to sneak back below that line later in the season, whether or not Martin remains on the roster.
- Oshae Brissett‘s new multiyear deal with the Raptors features a $300K guarantee for year one, tweets Blake Murphy of The Athletic. That guarantee signals that Brissett probably has a leg up in battle for Toronto’s 15th regular season roster spot.
Vonleh’s a limited talent (most everyone is), but he’s a banger and a good teammate. Here’s hoping a hard working good guy can get another year as an NBA player.
Noah Vonleh…
Strange as it sounds, if he was an a$$hole and not such a good young man, he’d probably have been a better player and had a better career thus far.
Some will get it. Some won’t.
I think he is much more talented than you’re giving him credit for, and its crazy to me he only got a non guarantee, but I guess thats only b/c of how he was misused last season…guards pick and roll, can protect the rim a bit, can space the floor, and is a good passer from multiple areas of the floor. Can also put the ball on the floor…Just needs more playing time on the right team
The bulls are stacked
