After playing most of his meaningful minutes last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ G League Affiliate, the Canton Charge, Dean Wade has done a nice job for Cleveland as a regular contributor this season.
Wade, who was a two-way player last season and played sparingly with the Cavs, has gotten his share of meaningful run with the Cavaliers this season, and him having a regular roster spot is a positive. Wade was signed to a multi-year, essentially minimum deal last summer, with the years from then onward non-guaranteed, for context.
