A Farewell To Dahntay
On Saturday, the Cavs waived the seldom but effectively used Dahntay Jones about four months into his Cleveland career. The business reason for doing this was because his $1.6 million salary would have become guaranteed today for the entire 2016-17 season.
Jones, signed on the final day of the regular season, scored 13 points in his Cavs debut against the Pistons. Thought to be just veteran filler/insurance for the playoff run, he actually provided a pivotal spark in Game 6 of The Finals, scoring five straight points to help stop a Golden State rally, and also drew a couple of fouls on Draymond Green.
