The Nets signed Zeng Fanbo? Judging from the current situation, this is just a Chinese game contract?

According to previous news, the Brooklyn Nets provided a training camp contract with Exhibit 10 for forward star Zeng Fanbo from Beijing. He also had the opportunity to participate in the next Nets training camp and NBA preseason and launch a two-way contract or standard contract.

You may not know exactly what the situation is in the training camp contract that includes Exhibit 10 clauses. According to the latest CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) rules, a bootcamp contract containing Exhibit 10 can be converted into a two-way contract. In addition, if Zeng Fanbo is cut by the Nets next and joins the Nets in the NBA Development League's subordinate team, the Long Island Nets, and can stay in the team for 60 days in the NBA Development League field next season, he will be able to get from the Nets to a maximum of $85,300. In fact, the training camp contract containing Exhibit 10 is a non-guaranteed contract. If Zeng Fanbo did not get a two-way contract and he did not join the Long Island Nets after being cut by the Nets or did not stay at the Long Island Nets for 60 days, he would not even get the 85,300 US dollars.

Therefore, it is a bit too early to discuss Zeng Fanbo's entry into the NBA from this stage. Considering that a team has only three two-way contract players at most, it is difficult for the majority of players who hold a training camp contract with Exhibit 10. The last attribution of the vast majority of players holding a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10 is the NBA Development League. In the NBA Development League, Zeng Fanbo can get only tens of thousands of dollars, and at most only about 100,000 dollars, which is almost less than one-fifth of his CBA. Everyone has seen the performance of another Chinese player, Choi Yongxi, in the NBA Development League last season. Even if Zeng Fanbo is stronger than Choi Yongxi, unless he can perform at a dominant level, it is not realistic for him to win a two-way contract.

Therefore, the current situation is that Zeng Fan Expo represents the Nets in preseason games, especially in the Chinese game. But how the situation will develop in the future is unknown. Considering that the Nets provided Choi Yongxi with a two-way contract last season, we cannot say that Zeng Fanbo, who has stronger strength and higher potential, will definitely not be able to get a two-way contract from the Nets. However, from a normal perspective, considering that under normal circumstances, the training camp contract containing Exhibit 10 is difficult to convert into a two-way contract, unless Zeng Fanbo doesn't care about salary at all like Yu Jiahao, this contract is just a Chinese competition contract.
