What if Big Baby or Pruitt don sign?
So long as the team extends the player a qualifying tender — which is essentially a one-year contract offer for the rookie minimum — we will retain his rights. If the player signs a contract with a non-NBA team, we own his rights until one year after that contractual obligation ends. If the player doesn’t sign a contract with another team, we retain his rights until the day of next year’s draft, when the player can be drafted again by any team.
