SK is signing a 2-way contract - which essentially means he will split time between the NBA Bucks and the D-League, and while on the Bucks he is considered a 16th or 17th player (not really on the active roster). These contracts max out where they can only spend x number of games with the NBA team (something like 40 or 45) and the rest of the time they must be in the D-League. He will get paid different rates based on which team he is on at the moment, which basically means he will make between $75K-$300K, depending on how many games he is with the big team. (And I believe the Nets are still on the hook for this year's salary, unless the Bucks sign him to a big league deal and add him to their 15-player roster).

It's good for SK because he gets to stay in the league.

It's bad for SK (and any other player that signs a 2-way deal) because now he is locked with one team instead of being able to be called up by any of the 30.

It's a gamble on his part...but he has had to do that his entire career so far.
