K.J. McDaniels (Clemson) is a Rookie from Philadelphia 76ers he took a very extreme and different approach to his Rookie contract. Which I think takes “balls”. agreeing to a one-year, non-guaranteed tender that could make him a restricted free agent next July.
“McDaniels’ agent, Mark Bartelstein, wouldn’t accept the 76ers’ structure of two guaranteed contract seasons that included two non-guaranteed seasons in years three and four of the deal.” These contracts have been used almost to control all Rookie players but McDaniels wants his freedom. With what he has to offer this might be something that causes the 76ers to resign him for next year. Let’s see how he does this season.
