What is an Exhibit 10 deal?

Here’s what Google’s AI cooked up:

An Exhibit 10 contract is a one-year, minimum salary, non-guaranteed NBA contract that teams can use to bring in players for Summer League competition. The contract can include an optional bonus of up to $75,000 if the player spends at least 60 days with the team’s G League affiliate after being waived.

Conversion to two-way contract: Teams can convert an Exhibit 10 contract into a two-way contract before the regular season begins. This guarantees the bonus and makes the contract a two-way contract.

Maximum number of contracts: Each team can have up to six Exhibit 10 contracts at a time.

Roster spot: If a player is kept on the 15-man roster after the regular season begins, their contract becomes a standard minimum deal.

Compensation protection: Exhibit 10 contracts don’t come with compensation protection.

When the contract becomes fully guaranteed: If the team doesn’t guarantee the deal, it becomes fully guaranteed on January 10. However, in reality, contracts become fully guaranteed on January 7 because players must clear waivers by January 10 to avoid this.

Seabron has been a 2-way player in the New Orleans Pelicans organization the past two seasons. He played in 11 games with the Pelicans over the past two seasons, spending most of his time with the Birmingham Squadron, their G-League affiliate. In 50 games over the past two seasons, Seabron has averaged 17.9 points, 5.6 assists and 5.5 rebounds with the Squadron, shooting 52.7% from the field, and 36.4% from three.

In 2022, Seabron earned 2nd Team All-ACC honors at NC State, averaging 17.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists.

Former All-ACC NC State Forward TJ Warren is working out for the Sacramento Kings.

Per sources, the Kings are working out TJ Warren this week. The 31-year-old who averaged a career-high 19.8 points for the Pacers in 2019-20 last played with Minnesota last season (11 games).

The Kings have Jae Crowder and Nassir Little in this week as well. (@SeanCunningham…

Warren is looking to find a new NBA home as he approaches his 10th NBA season. Last year, TJ played in only 11 games for the Minnesota Timberwolves, averaging 3.7 points in 11.4 minutes per game. In 2022-23, Warren played in 42 games split between Brooklyn and Phoenix, averaging 7.5 points in 16.4 minutes per game. Prior to that, TJ missed the entire 2021-22 due to a foot injury, which also caused him to miss all but 4 games of the 2020-21 season.

It’s been a rough couple of years for the former ACC Player of the Year (2014), but prior to that, Warren had been a starter in the NBA for 5 straight seasons, averaging 14+ points per game in each of those seasons.

As a Sophomore at NC State, Warren averaged 24.9 points per game, while shooting 52.5% from the field, leading the ACC in both categories. Only three players have ever done that. Warren is 1 of 6 NC State players to win the ACC Player of the Year award.

A lot of credit has to go to Jacoby Brissett on this drive — extending plays with his legs and finding Hunter Henry. pic.twitter.com/Im5h4KBuga

As expected, Jacoby Brissett was at his best attacking the short-intermediate middle of the Seahawks’ defense, typically targeting his tight ends

Also looked good on ISO matchups to his backs and quick-hitters outside https://t.co/Hhe31hoPTd pic.twitter.com/MjbP8k23Au
