Baker goes undrafted and signs 1 year partial guaranteed deal with Knicks

Interesting that he's going to the same team as Cle Early. That may give him some small advantage having a former teammate that knows the in and outs of the league? Although I think the Knicks did just change coaches.

He's got a tough road ahead as an underrated prospect. Hope he makes it. The Knicks are a mess. They could use someone solid like a Ron Baker.

I think Baker and Hornacek will get along great. It appears to be a good match as far as the coach goes.

A couple of notes from last night:
Baker to the Knicks for a 1 year partially guaranteed. Knicks right now only have I think 6 people signed. Cleanthony is a restricted Free Agent, so he may or may not be a Knick next year, but I bet he will be.

FVV has been offered to try out for the Raptors and come to training camp.

FVV could have been taken with the 47th and 54th pick but turned down "draft and stash" offers (20k in the D Leauge). He's already had 50-100k offers just to try out since the draft ended.

I'm sure the same happened with Ron.

EDIT: Looks like Wes Washpun will be playing on the clippers summer league team.

I wasn't too familiar with a partially guaranteed deal, sounds like you are paid per NBA day basically?

My understanding is that its kinda how it sounds. They have a contract for 1 year, if they cut him or he doesn't make the team, only part of that contract has to be paid out.

ALERT: #Mavs source tells http://DallasBasketball.com that Egidijus Mockevicius (6-10 C Evansville) will join SL team in Orlando

Great to hear on Mock! He's going to make a lot of money somewhere.

Found this on the Aces message board. Mock agreed to a partially guaranteed 1-year deal with the Nets. I hope he makes the most of that opportunity.

Is a partial guarantee the same as a D-league contract?
