Good for him! Joe was underappreciated by a lot of Hawkeye fans. He is much more than just a shooter, which is all some look at.
I always wonder about the tax implications in this type of situations.Raptors Sign Joe Wieskamp To Multiyear Deal

Lived in Canada for five years and their tax system was a killer. We use to figure that it wasn't until August that you were making money. FWIW, social medicine wasn't great, especially if you needed a specialist.
As an expat, my company paid a house and car allowance so it was tolerable.
That's awesome for Joe, he has earned it. Fran starting Connor while injured down the stretch totally undermined that Garza/Weezy team's chances in March. Luka, Weezy, Keegan could have been a 3 headed monster that year (were at times, briefly). Those guys deserved better, glad to see their hard work and determination being rewarded
No matter what the topic, for some it's just another chance to take a shot at McCaffery.
Good for Joe. He's sticking in the league longer than many expected. Keep making threes and improving defense and he could surprise with a long NBA career.

So more of a “we think you’re good enough to fill in at times” sort of a contract. Better than mine and great that he’s sticking but not the Champaign popper we’d hoped for.
My kid had a 3-month wait to see a pulmonologist in the DSM area, then another couple months wait to get the testing done recommended by them. So that's not necessarily an issue unique to Canada and/or social medicine.
I'm in the bay area and have good insurance through a FAANG tech company. I made some appointments to see some specialists back in January. One couldn't see me until April and the other not until early May
Professional athletes have very complicated tax situations to begin with - add in Canada and, well, let's just say Joe won't be doing his taxes on TurboTax.
First he has to file in every state where he plays a game during the year. And then in Canada for all the home games. Then he will declare all of his income in a US return, but will get a tax credit for tax paid to Canada (foreign tax credit).
If he maintains as residence in the US he will have to report all his income to that state and then get a credit for taxes paid to the other states.
It's dam complex.
