Former South Carolina guard Ta'Lon Cooper inks Exhibit-10 deal with Orlando Magic
Former South Carolina guard Ta’Lon Cooper has agreed to an Exhibit-10 deal with the Orlando Magic, according to Stock Risers.
Exhibit-10 deals allow NBA teams to convert a player’s one-year, minimum contract into a two-way deal. In other words, it’s essentially a tryout. These deals are typically non-guaranteed, which allows teams to waive players and remove them from their cap hit from the payroll.
