Kris Joseph mulls his hoops options

[Orangeyes]

From this mornings PS

"After the Boston Celtics waived Kris Joseph — again — to free up money and a roster spot, the former Syracuse University forward is flying to Las Vegas to meet with basketball representatives from the NBA, Europe and China.

“There will be some NBA options,” Joseph’s agent, Chris Luchey, said Thursday. “My job will be to get him something from a guarantee standpoint or a partially guaranteed standpoint. I just think he needs a break. And I think he’ll get one.”

The former SU forward could use a little good fortune.

Joseph, part of the stunning trade that sent Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce from Boston to Brooklyn, was waived by the Celtics on Monday. Boston, which selected Joseph in the second round of the 2012 NBA Draft, initially released Joseph last January reportedly in anticipation of making a trade that never materialized. Joseph played in the D League before the Brooklyn Nets signed him to a 10-day contract in April.

The Garnett-Pierce trade could not be finalized until the NBA’s waiting period concluded. It prevented Joseph from playing on an NBA Summer League team."

That's BS! So a guy who they knew they would waive gets screwed out of auditioning for another team??? I don't get why kris was part of the deal? If he had a non guaranteed deal with the Nets, why don't the Nets just cut him or not have him part of the deal?

I wasn't sure that JB and the zone sucked after reading your first 13K posts about it. However, 13,0001 got me. Just think, if JB and the zone didn't suck, maybe we go 169-16 then last four years instead of the awful 149-36.

S16, S16*, R32, E8 and F4, that JB sure does suck.

*sure national champion, imo

I also gave you a like because you need a hug, a plant, a friend, a cat...just any kind of attention. So, will a like help?

They probably needed his contract thrown into the deal to equalize the money. That's the way it is. He'll get a chance to play somewhere, it may just not be in this country.
