They didn’t play him when it mattered, he’ll still get paid and likely get waived. Nice retirement package for doing nothing.

If Z wanted to go somewhere for money he would have gone to Dallas who wanted him bad. Z was a sort of mentor to Lebron so he chose to go to Miami with him.

There is no doubt he will retire a Cav.

They still do.

But it is common for 1 or 2 year league-minimum contracts to be either partially guaranteed or not guaranteed at all (mainly for rookie 2nd rounders or undrafted players new to the league)

Just curious to how something like that works.
