How will Jordan Mickey be signed?

[kozlodoev]

When does Danny have until to sign Mickey and Holmes?

All year?

Teams should really be able to designate second-rounders to the NBDL without signing them while retaining their rights.

Agreed. But some clarification. I think teams should be able to SIGN rookies to a contract, designate them to the NBDL & have them NOT COUNT as roster space.

Right now there's nothing preventing Mickey from signing a contract with the NBDL team on his own (that I know of), while the Celtics retain his rights. In fact, as I understand it, as long as Mickey is playing professional  (and I think the NBDL counts) the Celtics would retain his rights for one season at the conclusion of said non-Celtics contract.

As for Holmes, well he went undrafted, so it doesn't apply... but that's where my clarification comes into play, being able to sign them, send them to NBDL, and have them not count towards roster space. AKA, a genuine farm system.

Important to keep in mind Mickey will be a Celtic. It's now a matter of finding a deal that works for both player and team.

Lot on line for Mickey. Better money now vs. chance to get market value sooner if he does well. Sides had hit "roadblock," but back talking.

Dangers of tweeting while parts still moving. C's-Mickey still very much in negotiation. Hearing now nothing is off table, incl 1-yr tender.

Steve Bulpett @SteveBHoop
IMPORTANT: Nothing's been resolved or finalized w/C's and JMickey. Sides now backed away from  1-yr tender. Working toward longer deal.

Celts, Mickey had hit a "roadblock," w/2nd rd pick considering 1-yr tender. But now appears 4-yr deal (2 guar, 2 team opt) will happen.

If the final tweet is true, that will require using cap room.  I'm assuming he'll get a little more than the minimum this year, and every year after will be the minimum.  If it's the 2+2, look for third year to be non-guaranteed (possibly fully non-guaranteed due to potential lockout).  Year four will be a team option and non-guaranteed, so team can decline option to let him enter restricted free agency with full Bird rights, as opposed to unrestricted free agency after year 4, if he proves to be a long-term keeper in three seasons.

EDIT: Realize most recent tweets are on top, and bottom two tweets deleted...

Yep, the way the twitter timeline works is top is most recent (a pain to reorganize as it is, removing the ? characters and relative times (3 mins. ago and such).

And noticed that he indeed deleted the previous 2 tweets, wonder what in particular gave him pause... if it was mainly about him minimizing the possibility of a 1-year tender or if he's backing out on the possibility of a four year deal.

I'm supposing whoever fed him information asked him to take that part down and put up the disclaimer.
