Spurs sign Julian Washburn and Amida Brimah

[Pavlov]

Yeah? Did something happen?

They picked up their checks.

Waived to make room for Blossomgame, Hanlan, and White I presume.

[Ice009]

What was the point of signing and then waiving them over a two day period?

[Fusternino]

So the goal was just to give them a thank you check?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

How can I get one of those contracts?

Effective next season, players signed to G League contracts will earn $35,000 — or $7,000 per month — in addition to housing and insurance benefits over the course of the league’s five-month regular season....

....Players also will remain eligible to earn affiliate player bonuses worth as much as $50,000, which are triggered when a player goes to training camp with an N.B.A. team and then plays for that team’s G League affiliate.

If maxed out it's pretty much the non-NBA base pay of a two way player.

Is this just $$$ or do they also get tagged to Austin?

They're already on the Austin team.

That's why they get the bonus.

Lock them into Austin. Basically a wink-wink deal. Stay in the family--the Austin Spurs family

Every time I see this thread I keep thinking the Spurs signed Jamal Mashburn...who’s probably still a better ball player than these two.
