Pretty Awesome video of Kobi surprising his mom with a car.

It was confirmed Kobi signed a Two-way contract, so he'll make at least 75k in the G-league, but hopefully he's going to end up making the most which is $280,000 if he makes the Memphis roster.

Two-way contracts aren't as player-friendly as they might appear might also incentivize some shenanigans with player agents. To get the most money out of being a two-way player, players would have to receive some type of under-the-table agreement to actually play out the full 45 days available to them on an NBA roster.

Most players drafted in the second round also tend to be, at best, borderline NBA players and who gets selected can be influenced by how friendly of a deal they will accept. This is not a smart way for an NBA franchise to operate generally – since you should pick the best player you believe can develop into a real contributor – but considering teams sell picks for cash considerations even today, gaining slight monetary advantages pointlessly is something teams will exercise in.

Altogether, two-way contracts can be considered a mixed bag. There's slightly more money to go around for the players, a few extra playing and practice opportunities with an NBA team and increased control for teams. A player or two will blossom through this new system, and then praise will be heaped on what a great opportunity two-way contracts provide. But the downsides are real, and it's hard to say if adding two-way contracts to the NBA overall makes a tangible positive difference for the league and fans.
