Lakers tendered a two-way qualifying offer to Colin Castleton

Not sure if there is a difference between a regular qualifying offer and a two-way qualifying offer. Does this mean that Colin has earned a roster spot? Or does he remain a two-way player? We did sign two new two-way players so Colin c/b third two-way.
A little more research. Colin would have a year to sign agreement even though Lakers can cancel two-way contracts at will. Just means if he is approached by another team Lakers can match if he accepts qualifying offer, which presumably pays him more? Who knows. So far, Reaves is only Lakers two-way to turn into standard contract.
This is smart. I still think this dude has a path to being a solid backup.
I watched him in the G league some. He has some skill. Great passer. I thought he needed to get stronger. He could be moved. Reports are that he has been working on his body and his 3 point shot. I hope they keep him.
I think they intend to or at least guarantee him a raise/non two way deal if he does go.
