Weezy to Cleveland?

Seems like a good fit, his options are probably limited at this point...

Spurs trash could be Cavs treasure for 15th roster spot

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a roster spot open. The Cavs could look to a young sharpshooter recently cut loose by the Spurs to fill that spot

So nice to be described as "one teams trash".......

It's tough when you shoot 32.6%. Hope his shot improves with time.

He would be a good fit in the lakers. They have no shooting at all

I will say his agents are strong, Spurs have to pay Joe first year of his deal (about $2.1MM). He would be a good 2 way candidate or play in the G League full time to get his shot back playing a lot of minutes. He has to hit 40% plus to have any chance of a roster spot.

i knew the 2 year, $4M plus deal that he signed before training camp was not fully guaranteed unless he made the 15 man Spurs roster.

I did not know that he would get $2.1M even if he did not make the roster.

Set for life after one year. Hoped he lived below his means!

 

[Bro D]

But how much did he make last year

Sounds too good to be true.

First year was guaranteed per this article... (this is not intended as a GOTCHA, just interesting as I was surprised as well, good for Joe if true)

Happy for Joe. But still skeptical.

They should actually - it would be a fantastic place for him

With the lakers, you have to deal with "the Ego" and his bunch.

It’s the NBA, everyone has egos

 

[tippet1]

I doubt the Lakers would touch him since he only shot 32% from 3 last year.

It's real.

The Spurs have money to burn. They are about $15 million under the team minimum salary threshold which is 90% of the salary cap. If they don't use that space in trades, etc, they must distribute the remainder to their players at the end of the year. I think Joe's contract was to be used as filler in a trade this offseason but instead the market dried up due to the Gobert trade.

Joe was the #2 pick in the G League draft this weekend. He was picked by the Wisconsin Herd, which is the Bucks affiliate.

about a hour from there... may have to go take in a few games if Wiesy is playing.

Could have two Iowa guys sharing the court for the Herd (or fighting for a spot with the parent club)

+article discussing G League draft also mentioned he is still getting paid his $2MM. At this point... its a fact. ###
