The Golden State Warriors are expected to name former Kansas point guard Aaron Miles as the head coach of their G League affiliate in Santa Cruz, multiple league sources tell 2 Ways & 10 Days. Miles began his professional career as an undrafted rookie with the Golden State Warriors in 2005. The Portland, OR native has spent a majority of his pro career overseas in Europe playing in France, Spain, Greece, and Russia. Miles served as an Assistant Director of Student-Athlete Development at Kansas for the 2015-16 season before being hired as an assistant at Florida Gulf Coast last year under Joe Dooley.

G League players will be receiving a significant salary increase next season, according to Marc Stein of The New York Times. All G League contracts for 2018/19 will pay $35K [$7K for each of the league's five months], along with housing costs and insurance benefits. The league had been paying $26K or $19K, depending on players' classifications. All G League salaries are covered by the NBA. Athletes will still be able to earn affiliate player bonuses that can pay up to $44K. Those are given to players who attend training camp with an NBA team, then become part of that franchise's G League affiliate. Two-way contracts will remain in effect and will carry a salary of $77,250 that is prorated for the amount of time spent in the G League. Two-way players receive a minimum rookie salary while they are in the NBA, which is capped at 45 days. The new figure is a slight increase from $75K this season, and Stein notes that the maximum potential salary for two-way players next year will be $385K. Two-way contracts were introduced this season and proved to be very popular, with 83 players signing them. The G League will expand to 27 teams in 2018/19, with Wizards becoming the latest franchise to add an an affiliate. The only organizations remaining without a direct affiliate are the Nuggets, Pelicans and Trail Blazers. Courtesy of: hoopsrumors.com
