By now you’re probably aware of the moves that the Golden State Warriors made this week. With the NBA days left on Damion Lee’s two-way contract quickly approaching zero, the team cut center Marquese Chriss, who was on a non-guaranteed contract. With the money that freed up, they will convert Lee’s contract into a multi-year guaranteed deal.
Seems simple enough.
But there’s a little bit more. With Lee moving from a two-way contract into a bonafide roster spot, Golden State now has an additional two-way contract to dole out. Each team is allowed a pair of two-way contracts at any given time; Golden State had used their two on Lee and Ky Bowman.
