The minivan he shares with his sister is so getting a new CD player.

Great find. Thanks! Here's hoping our picks aren't a bust.

THE ****?

They signed Evans? What the **** has this dude DONE? This is like hearing that the Jazz signed Suton before summer league (which obviously would've been a mistake).

everybody on the summer league roster is "signed" to some sort of agreement.

Looking forward to some summer league action with Gordo.

If that's all this is, then this isn't news.

Also, ****ing WHEW.

I'm just curious why I've never seen announcements for summer league contracts being signed before. This reads like they've signed their NBA deals.

That's what I was thinking. Why announce it just for those two and not all the other players that play in summer league. They all get paid the same don't they?

Who knows, they may have really signed them to rookie contracts

If they did sign him, it probably means they see something in him...

They still have... like... the entire ****ing summer, right?

So far, this is the worst offseason since 2002.

I thought 2nd round contracts weren't guaranteed...

Obviously they all don't get paid the same. Their draft position in the 1st round sets what they get paid guaranteed. As for 2nd rounders make under a million IF they make the team I would guess it's probably a prorated portion of that for summer league.

Undrafted probably much less.

They 'signed' Suttuon last summer, he made something like $50k to go to summer league and do Junior Jazz Basket Ball Camps. He would have made more money if he were to be on the training camp roster, and more again if he made the regular season roster. Then his non-gauranteed contract would've become gaurenteed after some number of weeks or a certain calendar date. Look at Wesely Mathews last season, there was a big story about him making it to the cut-off date where he was garaunteed some money. Evans deal is probably the same thing.

Best summer job ever.

It's the Utah Jazz's GORDON OF EDEN

It also protects the team and player say if the player tears an ACL or achilles and is out for awhile.

What about Tadija Dragicevic? Anyone heard if he's been signed? I can't see him coming over without a guaranteed deal.

I can. One of his last teams didn't even pay him so he left mid season.
