[Smith] The Toronto Raptors announced they have waived Joe Wieskamp. His guarantee date had been pushed back to tomorrow. This gives the Raptors a little more wiggle room under the tax line. It also gives Toronto an open standard roster spot.

Love hearing about our moves to wiggle around the tax line and free up roster spots to take a flyer on the next guy we’ll sign and waive.
Interesting times
I imagine Jeff Dowtin is the favourite for that spot but they’re gonna sign like 5 more guys to compete for that spot in camp.
Mr. 99 no more 🙁
I mean ultimately it’s all a business and there’s always a chance, albeit tiny, that some random 15th man we take a flyer on plays well above expectation and becomes an NBA regular.
That said Wieskamp was gonna get like 3 minutes a night + garbage time at best on the Raps and its hard to justify giving him 4 mill and a slot to do that, when there’s probably a G-leaguer who’d be cheaper and would be more motivated to try and stay in the nba
He kind of became redundant when we got dick.
Tough after the game he had. Hopefully another team picks him up
When we first signed this guy, I thought he had some promise and was going to fulfill something we were desperately lacking (shooting) but I guess not
