Estrada in the NBA

Post by Jojogunne »

Is this the start of something special?

Aaron had 6 points in 4 minutes:

Plus there's this hour-long podcast, where Aaron discusses his post-HU career:

This is exciting and I'm very happy for Aaron to get his shot!

To be clear, this is an exhibit 10 contract, which means it's not guaranteed, but will give him a good shot to stay with the org in some capacity if he can show his worth.

Good luck Aaron!

The worst case is he's cut and not offered a 2-way or any sort of contract.

The positive is he's being paid nicely now during this "try-out" which typically leads to a solid shot at a 2-way contract for the regular season.

Nice interview and crazy how he was offered 800G from Cincinnati. Best of luck to him and we were fortunate to have him for two years!

Aaron didn't last long with the Pistons. According to Google A.I., the Pistons waived him on Oct. 17. He is expected to play for the Pistons' G League team, the Motor City Cruise.
