Tres Tinkle wasn’t picked in this week’s NBA Draft, but it was expected that some team in the league would give him a shot. Today, we’ve finally got our answer, as Tinkle has reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Tinkle has signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Lakers. An Exhibit 10 contract is a one year, league minimum salary contract, with a bonus if the player ends up playing for the team’s G-League affiliate. For Tinkle, this could mean up to a $50,000 bonus if he ends up spending time with the South Bay Lakers.
