The Detroit Pistons roster is beginning to take shape with the team reportedly waiving veteran Cory Joseph and young guard Deividas Sirvydis, according to The Athletic’s James L. Edwards III and Shams Charania.
The team also waived Tyler Cook, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
The decision to waive Joseph is no surprise as he was set to be guaranteed a $12.6 million salary if he was still on the team tomorrow. By waiving him today, the Pistons only need to pay him $2.4 million.
The decision to waive Sirvydis is more of a surprise and is a roster space consideration more than a financial one.
