Basically Kai's B league $200k for 2 months is on condition he is healthy available for every practice and game for the next 2 months.
So essentially the decision is on Kai's camp on what to do for 6th window.
Exception is if injury is due to B league participation.

So it was a business decision on his part.
 
As long as he takes his money now and doesn't plan to stay in the BLeague long term then Ill take the trade of this window. Problem is if he just goes for the money over better developmental opportunities.

"As long as he takes his money now and doesn't plan to stay in the BLeague long term then Ill take the trade of this window."

Agree... him taking a mini-break/vacation benefits well both his physical/mind health and wellness, REMEMBER: The kid just finished his 2nd year PRO in Australia and bout to take the next succeeding 8 months with an emphasis to carry both (NBA and FIBA WORLD CHAMP) level aspirations, skipping 6th window, kid more than deserved it.

(also, this might be cheesy, but him and his family choosing THE PHILIPPINE VACATION when they could have conveniently enjoyed the AUS or Japan Vacation Experience says a thing or two about their "PHI Awareness" both goals and vibes)

There is always no place like home.
 
No point for Kai to play in this window. He deserves to rest and prepare to impose his presence in Japan. Display dominance and indispensability for 2 months in the BLeague and he's set for life. He can be the Junemar Fajardo of BLeague if he plays his cards right, perennial MVP candidate who puts his team in a position to win championship every season. An NBA role player stint will be a bonus. Look, realistically, if Kai plays 2-4 seasons in the NBA sitting on the bench, we can still consider that a success, but then again he has to go back down to a league where his talents will be utilized.

Opportunities wise, if NBA dream doesn't pan out this year, he'll make millions of dollars in the BLeague or go back to the NBL to earn more or less half a million dollars in AUD every year.
 
Will Kaiju Fly?
@hiroshimaDragonflies

There are atleast these given scenarios on Kai's upcoming BLEAGUE STINT right...
-European Coach
-Promise of more playing time (20minutes and up)
-20 BLEAGUE games


How many times will Kai produce a 20-Point game-performance?
(I think its been a while since Kai produced a 20-point output... His high score at NBL and FIBA Senior was around 16points)

Anyone here expecting Kai to produce a game-bearing 30-Point game showing?
 
So is he going back to the PBA or would other B League teams want to take a chance with him.

who was the last bleague player who had an NBA call up?

Yudai Baba still knocking. Nearly made with Mavs’ regular season’s roster but eventually waived… same with Brandon Fields with Texas Legends.

Having a reduced spending capability is one of the consequences of being relegated in the division 3.

Maybe, they can no longer afford the salary of Roosevelt Adams.

I don't think so. There is no salary cap in B.League
 
Advice to those current PBA players who wish to spread their wings in Japan, please don’t burned your bridges because you never know you’ll be knocking their doors in a short span of time… Adams was cut recently and I won’t be surprise if he hear Slaughter would be waived. And chances are they will have difficulty of finding a willing team to sign them.

Carl Tamayo scored 11 points on 4-12 shooting (2-4 from 3), and got 3 rebounds (1 offensive) yesterday.

Not exactly a dream regular season for him, averaging only 2.7 points on 25.9% shooting (25.9% from 3), 1.3 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.1 blocks, and 0.3 steals in 15 games (4 starts). Still, I'd cut him some slack, as he joined midseason, and he's on the first year of a 3-year contract. Plus, at least he plays. Hope he improves in the playoffs or the next season, and hope he's in consideration for the WC.

Here's his stat profile:
