NBA于2017-18年首次建立了双向合同,作为允许球队拥有更多球员供其使用的一种手段,并为边缘球员提供了在联盟中扮演更大角色的试镜机会。和大多数球队一样,金州勇士队很快就开始与球员签订双向合同。
尽管如此,多年后,双边合同似乎令人困惑。这部分是因为他们与其他团队签订的合同大不相同,部分是因为在冠状病毒大流行期间,规则发生了一些变化。
下面是关于双向合同的所有问题,以及答案。
一个团队有多少份双向合同?
球队一次最多可以有两名球员签订双向合同,另外还有15个通常分配的球员名册名额。
谁有资格获得双向合同?
只有在NBA工作经验不足四年的球员才能签订双向合同。为了这些合同,“经验”意味着在NBA打一场比赛。因此,即使一名球员在职业生涯中只打过四场比赛,如果这四场比赛都发生在不同的赛季,他们也没有资格获得双向合同。
此外,球员与同一支球队签订的双向合同期限为两年。
什么时候可以签订双向合同?
签订双向合同的球员有资格参加球队82场比赛中的50场。最初引入合同时,球员与球队的时间限制为45天,其中包括训练日和旅行日。50场比赛的变化使球队和球员受益匪浅。
当不参加比赛时,双向合同仍然可以与球队一起练习,与球队一起旅行,在比赛期间作为球队的非活跃成员坐在板凳上。他们也可以花时间在球队的G联赛附属机构上。金州勇士队是圣克鲁斯勇士队。
双向合同不适用于季后赛名单。
什么是支付的双向合同?
签订双向合同的球员的工资是联盟最低工资的一半。然而,这些合同是没有保证的,所以球员可以在任何时候被裁减,并且只会得到他们的工资直到那一点。
与规则实施的最初几年不同,双向合同的工资不会根据他们玩多少游戏而变化。
双向合同的cap含义是什么?
双向合同不存在上限影响。只有标准合同上的15名球员计入球队的工资上限和税收。虽然球队仍然需要支付双向合同,但他们的工资上限将保持不变。
双向合同可以转换吗?
是的,签订双向合同的球员可以转换为常规合同,这是勇士们经常做的。球队可能会选择这样做,在自由球员上场之前签下一名球员,或者让他们有资格进入季后赛。
一旦双向合同被转换或放弃,团队可以在任何时候签署另一个双向合同。

Two-way contract FAQ
原文:
The NBA first instituted the two-way contract in 2017-18, as a means for allowing teams to have more players at their disposal, and giving fringe players an opportunity to audition for a bigger role in the league. Like most teams, the Golden State Warriors quickly got to business signing players to two-way contracts.
Still, years later, the two-way contracts can seem confusing. That’s partially because they’re so unlike the other contracts that teams give out, and partially because the rules underwent some changes during the coronavirus pandemic.
Here then, are all the questions you might have about two-way contracts — and the answers as well.
How many two-way contracts does a team have?
Teams can have up to two players on two-way contracts at a time, in addition to their 15 normally allocated roster spots.
Who is eligible for a two-way contract?
Only players who have fewer than four years of experience in the NBA can sign a two-way contract. For the sake of these contracts, “experience” means playing a game in the NBA. So even if a player has only played in four games in their career, if each of those four games occurred in different seasons, they’re ineligible for a two-way contract.
Additionally, players are limited to two years on a two-way contract with the same team.
When can a two-way contract play?
Players on two-way contracts are eligible to play in 50 of their team’s 82 games. When the contracts were initially introduced, players were limited to 45 days with the team, which included practice and travel days. The change to 50 games has greatly benefitted teams and players.
When not playing, two-way contracts can still practice with the team, travel with the team, and sit on the bench during games as an inactive member of the team. They can also spend time on the team’s G League affiliate. For Golden State, this team is the Santa Cruz Warriors.
Two-way contracts are ineligible for postseason rosters.
What is a two-way contract paid?
Players on two-way contracts are paid a flat rate that is equal to half of the league’s minimum salary. However, these contracts are not guaranteed, so the players can be cut at any point, and will only receive their salary up to that point.
Unlike in the initial years of the rule, a two-way contract’s salary does not change based on how many games they play.
What are the cap implications of a two-way contract?
There are no cap implications with two-way contracts. Only the 15 players on standard contracts count against a team’s salary cap and tax. While the team still has to pay two-way contracts, their salary cap will stay the same.
Can two-way contracts be converted?
Yes, players on two-way contracts can be converted to regular contracts, which the Warriors have done regularly. The team might choose to do this to sign a player long-term before they hit free agency, or to make them eligible for the postseason roster.
Once a two-way contract has been converted — or waived — the team can sign another two-way contract at any point.
Which Warriors have been on two-way contracts?
Here’s a history of the Warriors two-way contracts:
2017-18: Chris Boucher and Quinn Cook2018-19: Marcus Derrickson, Damion Lee2019-20: Ky Bowman, Marquese Chriss, Damion Lee2020-21: Jordan Bell, Nico Mannion, Juan Toscano-Anderson2021-22: Chris Chiozza, Jeff Dowtin
