HEAT Signs Kyle Alexander | Miami Heat

Details weren’t disclosed, but I imagine it’s a 2 way deal

Way to go Kyle! If given some time I think he could carve out a nice career in the NBA

 

[VEKZY]

That’s awesome. Kyle definitely deserves a shot at the NBA, his best basketball days are ahead of him.

I don't see it, but good luck to him.

I don't see it, but good luck to him.

You don’t but people who do it for a living do. He’s a defensive presence and can come in and apply pressure down low while giving a star a rest.

On Monday, the Heat signed Tennessee forward Kyle Alexander to an Exhibit 10 contract, which includes an invitation to training camp, according to multiple league sources. The deal is limited to a $50,000 guarantee and leaves the option open for Alexander to eventually play for Miami’s G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, after training camp

Camp contract. I’m not surprised at all.

I do not know much of anything about the NBA or the coaching staff at Miami. Does anybody know if Miami has a staff that can continue to develop him? Is he in a good situation there?

thanks for the links exhibit 10 is not something I was aware of then again they do seem to be a new thing. they sound like a good idea because it means teams can take chances on a lot more guys without taking a cap hit and the guys get paid more than they would if just on training camp deals.

Hell, better than no kinda contract, Kyle has his foot in the door. I'm a little surprised, but that last summer league game was impressive, tho. Good for him

Good article about Kyle and his nba journey so far.

Dude’s getting $50,000. I’d say he’s pretty good.

You must live a pretty simple life Dal

I mean it's 50 grand to play basketball.

And that won't include the extra 30 thousand or so if he signs to the heat's G league team.

Seems like a nice way of calling someone "poor" there

 

[pimo1]

50k really isn't much for an athlete there is a lot of upkeep involved there especially in a city like Miami

The country is filled with semi-pro and low tier pros who don't get rich playing ball. I mean, minor league baseball for example. It's love of the game and hope. Some guys may only make 50gs a year working a regular job anyways. Everyone doesn't just get a 100k a year entry job automatically because they went to college. That's why so many graduates live in their parents' basements.

I’ve been young without much money and now I’m much older and have more than I need - money is way down the list on what’s determined my quality of life. You can be rich and not have 2 nickels to rub together and likewise poor with $millions in the bank.

Dal’s post struck me as he thought Alexander made big bank with the $50,000 contract which doesn’t seem to go very far these days to me. Eye of the beholder thing I guess? No offense intended towards Dal in any way. Apologies if my post caused any.

Gotcha. You're good in my book, Walken.
