That tweet has to be incomplete (or inaccurate) information. Plumlee cannot actually sign an NBA contract for next season with the Knicks (or anyone else in the NBA) yet, as the free agent period doesn't begin for another 3 weeks. Most likely he has signed a guaranteed training camp contract (similar to what Zoubek signed back in the summer of 2010). Teams are often pretty quick to identify camp bodies after the draft. Or, perhaps even more likely, it's a summer league contract.

Still, good for him that he is getting a look from the Knicks. I doubt it results in a regular season contract, but it is at least a step towards getting his foot in the door.

That's a good landing spot for MP3. The Knicks have like 5 players under contract next year. He will definitely get a chance to make his case for a roster spot.

Doesn't say he signed yet, just agreed so it doesn't seem inaccurate at all. Doesn't specify what is guaranteed so it is incomplete but it sounds like at least a camp invite. Usually when undrafted FAs start getting put on summer league teams with no contract the tweets are pretty clear that they are getting a summer league deal. Those were the type of tweets about Quinn for his Thunder and Cavs summer league spots. The wording here seems promising for Marshall.

And we just traded Robin Lopez for DRose. Zinger still not strong enough for a true 5. Only true 5 now, Seraphin, is a FA, I think.

Current Knicks roster includes no true center:

Carmelo Anthony
Derrick Rose
Kristaps Porzingas
Kyle O'Quinn
Langston Galloway (Qualifying Offer)
Cleanthony Early (QO)
Justin Holiday

None of those guys can play the center position. They could go small ball with Melo and Porzingas as the frontcourt. The Knicks are in on another big-time free agent like Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard, or Joakim Noah. I think there will be plenty of interest in having a cheap player like Plumlee on the roster or easily accessible via the D-League.

Only some types of contracts have to be fully guaranteed, like rookie scale contracts for first round picks and qualifying offers or offer sheets for restricted free agents.

Obviously teams like not having to guarantee contracts and players want guaranteed deals so it depends on who has more leverage.

As an undrafted player, Marshall can sign any kind of contract with any team. Since a lot of players are looking to just get their foot in the door, many of them sign full unguaranteed deals, which means that they can be waived any time before all contracts guarantee for the season in January without costing the team anything. That was the kind of contract that Andre signed for his rookie year. For in demand players, the leverage shifts a bit so teams will often offer partially guaranteed deals that give the player a set amount if they are waived before earning that amount during the regular season. That was the kind of deal that Seth signed for his rookie (and second) year. Money is flooding the market this season and next so teams may have to offer full guarantees to get the guys they want, meaning that they get a full year of NBA salary no matter whether they are waived or remain on the roster.

You are correct that MP3 has a non-guaranteed contract, but I see it as he has more than just a deal for summer league.

It appears to be the equivalent of a contract given to any non-first round rookie. The Knicks could cut him at any time, but as of now, it appears that they are planning on bringing him to training camp.

Yeah it is definitely more than a "summer league contract" (which doesn't really exist - those are summer league invites). It appears to be a 1year, non-guaranteed (meaning the Knicks can waive him at any time for "free"), minimum-salary contract. So he will at least be a training camp body prior to roster cuts if nothing else.

It looks like the "2-year" thing may have been a misunderstanding.

Here's the blurb:


Ian Begley ESPN Staff Writer

Marshall Plumlee's 3-year deal with the Knicks is fully guaranteed in the first season, sources confirm. The 6-11 Plumlee played on the Knicks' Summer League team and should give the Knicks depth on the front line. His brothers are NBAers Mason and Miles Plumlee. Newsday first reported that the first year of Plumlee's deal is guaranteed and Sheridan Hoops first reported the length of Plumlee's deal. The Knicks now have 12 players under contract. Summer Leaguer Ron Baker also received some guaranteed money from the club and is expected in training camp.

Dang straight on your last sentence buddy! Duke is the program developing both marginal bigs and star bigs and getting them prepared to have success in the NBA, not uncCheat. Get some of that Wheat! HA! James who?? :) And it is a nice mix of 4 year players and one and dones. Shavlik, Shelden, McBob, Lance, MP1, MP2, Ryan Kelly, Okafor, MP3, just to name a few since 2003 and we will soon add more of them with Giles, Bolden, etc. Really really great stuff and a great testament to the abilities of the Duke Coaching Staff! Thank you Wojo, Nate, and Mr Capel for working with these young men in the gym daily, and helping them improve, along with the GOAT in Coach K. Guard U no longer... Kyrie Irving, Top 5 PG, multiple SG's (Hendo & crew), multiple wings (Luol, Justise Dunleavy & crew), and a plethora of bigs. The Duke Program is hitting on all cylinders ... recruiting, results on the College Court, draft picks, results on the USA Court, and results on the NBA court (Kyrie leads Cavs to the title side by side with Lebron, and hits game 7 winning dagger 3 on the opponents court with the opponents star player defending him... you just can't make this stuff up or write better fiction.

Congrats in a large way to MP3. Super happy for that kid. For his first 4 years, I never thought he would sniff the NBA and thought he would go straight into the Army. With the season he had this year, I changed my stance to thinking he would possibly get drafted in the second Rd or sign a summer league & training camp deal with a team as a Free Agent, and get a chance to play his way onto the team, but I still felt it most likely he would get cut and not make the Regular Season Roster, and would be headed to the D League. That he signed a contract with a guaranteed year before the Summer League even really got started is an Amazing feat in my opinion. Well done MP3. You sir have just achieved a remarkable accomplishment!

I am very happy to learn that I was wrong on his NBA prospects. Very happy!

Go Duke!

The more critical question is how did we get the Plumlees from Purdue and how did Marshall end up in the Army. Millard Jr was a varsity athlete (as was Perky and Leslie (who also went to Purdue) and a Lieutenant in the Amphibious Forces in the Southwest Pacific Theatre on LST 562 and LST 181 from 1943-1946- so he probably saw significant action. From the ancestry records it looks as if Millard Sr.'s dad was Newton Moore Plumlee- so I think it ends there.

The more critical question is how did we get the Plumlees from Purdue and how did Marshall end up in the Army. Millard Jr was a varsity athlete (as was Perky and Leslie (who also went to Purdue) and a Lieutenant in the Amphibious Forces in the Southwest Pacific Theatre on LST 562 and LST 181 from 1943-1946- so he probably saw significant action. From the ancestry records it looks as if Millard Sr.'s dad was Newton Moore Plumlee- so I think it ends there.

Unless it's just a foreshadowing of More Plumlee

So he could shoot with his left hand and his right hand like Charles Shackleford?

I may be a little lost in the blizzard of numbered Plumlees, but ...

Isn't his "little" sister Madeline (she "only" stands 6-foot tall) the rightful MP4?

MP4 is a scholarship volleyball player at Notre Dame. Like her three brothers, she is a superb student athlete -- making the ACC academic honor roll in her first three seasons at Notre Dame.

I am suggesting that we use the following numbering as Perky is MP3 or MPIII - MP3.1- Miles, MP3.2- Mason and MP3.3- Marshall.

It seems an irrational number would be more appropriate

If you think BD80 is going to serve you pi, I believe you're dealing in imaginary numbers then.

Trump is the most humble as is once told the world via Twitter

"The new Pope is a humble man, very much like me, which probably explains why I like him so much!"
