yeah- none of the NBA contracts ever let their players play in alternate leagues

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1018879314828451842
formerly G-League contracts paid only $10-20,000 but numbers are increasing........
minimums are going up to $30-35,000 and 2-way contracts pay way more...
"Two-way players will make $75,000 guaranteed"
..."but some will make up to $385,000 for those on two-way contracts.."

Walt Lemon & the Celtics

Walt Lemon played for the Boston Celtics tonight in the first night of preseason NBA games. The Celtics lost to the Charlotte Hornets 104-97. Walt scored 5 points and had 3 rebounds and 1 assists in just 9 minutes of play off the bench.

Realistically, he is a long shot to make the regular season roster.

Walt Lemon, Jr. was signed by Boston to a 2-way contract prior to this season, but was never called up to the Celtics NBA team. He was eventually released by the Celtics, and re-signed with his former team, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the G-League. But yesterday, he was acquired by the Windy City Bulls, the G-League affiliate of the Chicago Bulls.

This seems like a good move for Walt. He gets to play in his hometown.
The Windy City Bulls actually are based in Hoffman Estates, a northwest suburb of Chicago, and they play their home games in The Sears Center in Hoffman Estates.
And with point guard issues on the Bulls, there may be a better chance that Walt could get another shot at playing in the NBA. The Bulls' projected starting point guard Kris Dunn has only played 1 game this season due to a knee injury, and they have tried an array of other point guards with little success.
He played 5 games for the New Orleans Pelicans last season, averaged 3.4 ppg and shot 100% from three-

There could soon be a ton of happy Bradley fans watching the Bulls:
"If the Bulls don’t make a trade in the next week, one immediate scenario being weighed is promoting Walter Lemon from the G-League and letting him compete with Dunn. He’s a tough-minded guard that backs down from no one."

that's great - but i think the corporate plan with the Bulls is geared towards tanking...
I was at their game Sunday vs. the worst team in the NBA - nobody's even heard of even any of their starting lineup...
and yet the Bulls lost and down the stretch - the last two minutes when just a bucket could have sealed the game - the two best players the Bulls have, Levine-23 ppg & Markkanen- who already had 21 pts & 15 rebs, neither ever even attempted a shot! It was pretty apparent to the fans what was going on - and that the Bulls want to drop below Cleveland & NY to get the best shot at Zion.
