Exhibit 10

An Exhibit 10 is a one-year minimum deal with no guarantee, the contract teams hand out by the dozen at training camp. It is a tryout with a small carrot: stick with the team's G League affiliate after getting cut and you can collect a bonus.

Its real use is flexibility. An Exhibit 10 can convert into a two-way contract before the season, which is how teams quietly lock up players they like without spending a roster spot.
