What’s the point with signings like these?

We can have 15 players and a couple of two way contracts.

So was Hall a possible two way contract? And now that he was waived a couple days after we signed him, is Powell a possible two way contract?

Our 15 are set, no?

This question has been asked each of the last couple years.

The Knicks have made something of a minor thing of signing players they want to play for their G league team to NBA exhibit 10 deals, which allows the team to pay the player a bonus of $5k to $50k in addition to their G League salary.

They may release a sign a few players (because the roster limit is 20) to get them signed to the Westchester Knicks AND get them the bonus, hence making the Westchester Knicks an attractive option.

Again, you'll likely see a few 'player released-player signed to an exhibit 10 transactions' over the next few days before the roster had to be cut down to 15.

As KnickofTime stated, it is all about getting more money for the G league players. The Knicks’ front office puts time into developing the G league team, which is a good thing.
