Because it’s being repeatedly asked and thrown about in my mentions…
Neither Harry Giles nor Avery Bradley is eligible for a Two-Way contract. – 3:49 PM
Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
Houston has just announced the release of Dante Exum on a day numerous established NBA names (including Kris Dunn, Marquese Chriss, Patrick Patterson and Harry Giles … after Avery Bradley last night) have lost out on NBA roster spots.

Expect a heavy dose of waivers on Saturday.
Today is the last day (by 5PM EST.) to waive a player on a non-guaranteed contract and not incur a per day cap.
Ex: Avery Bradley would have cost GSW $15K in salary and $108K toward the luxury tax if he was not waived today. – 8:15 AM

More on this storyline

In releasing Avery Bradley, the Warriors had to thwart the wishes of their best players, according to team sources. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green were among a group of strong advocates for keeping Bradley. The almost 31-year-old entering his 12th season didn’t look especially impactful in his preseason run. But those who favored Bradley weren’t at all concerned about how a proven veteran looked in preseason. Instead, they saw Bradley as someone with the credibility to help their hopes for a deep playoff run. -via The Athletic / October 18, 2021
Avery Bradley is coming off a couple of down seasons but was one of the league’s stingiest individual defenders earlier in his career, and he’s only 30. He’s been given the impression, per a source, that he will have a real chance to make the roster and, with Thompson out early in the season, there’s a clear path to playing time if he rediscovers his old form, which would catapult him back onto the market next summer. -via The Athletic / September 24, 2021
