The what? His salary is exempt? Can you enlighten us if this is a thing?

Just like MLE, apparently there is a second round exception rule too to sign guys with. Not sure when it popped into CBA but feels new?

It must be. And it’s really cheap which is good.
So we can bring him in and it does not put us over an apron?
Aprons must be very happy they are getting so much exposure the days!
Someone asked "whats the fan obsession with Rokas?"......
Its been done before. 22 years ago we drafted Miloš Vujanić with the 36th pick. HE had a nice career, All-Euro League twice.
IN 2005 he had a knee injury and then another shortly after. He was able to make it back to Euroball but not the same player.
This is the risk. Get hurt and the window closes. He was on track and traded to Suns as part of the Marbury deal in 2004.

Vujanić at 23 years of age: 25.8 ppg, 3.2 apg, 1.1 spg
Rokas at 23 years of age: 6.6 ppg, 2.9 apg, 0.3 spg
Why are we talking about Rokas again? If we had a 34 overall pick, where he was selected, it would probably be worth more in the trade market than Rokas. Coincidentally, this year this pick was Kolek.

Be careful- someone is about to explain that you have to multiply every stat in the Euro league by 10.

Pretty good trade for us either way. Why "Rokas Mania?" Hope. thats all. That and his video mixtapes.
July 30, 2021: Traded by the Oklahoma City Thunder with Miles McBride to the New York Knicks for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.
^Knick fans for the most part love their own draft picks. Like you said. Hope. I still want him here but not as desperate as before since we just got Kolek and Deuce emerging.
Herb Jones was the next pick -- coulda woulda shoulda
My Puerto Rico just made sure that Rokas can come to Summer League!
OMG what a freaking game!!!!!
From what I saw today, the potential is still there. He was on fire from the field with a few clutch three pointers. I really want him to give it his best chance because that could free us for some moves for a center if we want to.

I hope Rokas joins the team or gets moved. One long ass alert lol.
He should be in pretty good game shape at this point, since he practiced and played with his national team If he can't show something in SL, time to move on. Even if he shows well, we have pretty good depth at this point in the position he might play, so perhaps trading him will be the way to go, especially if Kolek plays the way I think the Knicks brass expects him to play.
......or makes Deuce expendable should a trade arise that helps with a priority.
Nothing bad can come about him playing.
Do well, an asset in some form. Suck, he goes away.
My guess is Odds are he is not a Knick by camp but sure would be fun if he was and we get a chance to see him in NY!
Rok'n'roll. It's absolutely time to see what he can do. I think he likely gets traded - we're running out of roster spots.
I think as others said - best hope is he shows well and some team wants him and we can trade him. I don’t see the path for him to be a part of this roster.
Rokas needs to dominate in summer league based on his professional experience
