The Memphis Grizzlies are signing two-way guard Scotty Pippen Jr. on a standard multiyear NBA contract, sources tell ESPN. Pippen had an impressive finish to 2023-24 and a strong NBA Summer League and preseason. Now locks in a guaranteed new deal.

Not sure of the amount yet but the Grizz potentially found another long term roleplayer on a good deal
Two-way spot open 👀
Lakers fumbled hard
With Rose finally gone it was only a matter of time before this happened. Totally deserved
I would have been more excited about this before last night’s game, but I thought he looked terrible. Sloppy fouls, terrible handles, and got outplayed by Yuki. It’s just one preseason game, but it didn’t inspire much confidence. Crushed it in summer league, though!
Well deserved
Congrats to SPJ and well deserved
So now the question is…. Who gets the open two way spot??
Yuki or Maozinha
There we go. Well earned SPJ. Welcome aboard, go spend some cash
Sounds like the play of one of the new guys necessitates the extra 2 way. This was always happening at the mid year point, but now it is early.
Def deserved a contract. Dudes a player
Thread after thread of speculation on who would get this spot. Thread after thread I said it would probably be SPjr. Poster after poster said *”They’re going to wait and get 40 to 50 games out of his two-way first!”* Time and again I told those people it’s bad for business and team culture to have a guy who plays well and deserves a spot but the organization takes advantage of him instead of paying him properly simply because they can.
Y’all didn’t want to listen to reason. That’s okay. Good for Scotty. He deserves it.
Glad to hear this
About fucking time. SPJ is a baller.
