Patrick McCaw Joins Cavs On Two-Year, Non-Guaranteed Contract

Dec 31, 2018 2:25 AM

Patrick McCaw officially joined the Cleveland Cavaliers after the Golden State Warriors declined to match the Cavs' two-year, $6 million offer sheet.

The 23-year-old McCaw's contract is non-guaranteed, meaning that the Cavs have until January 7th to decide whether they want to keep him on the roster and pay a pro-rated $1.7 million for the rest of the season. The second-year of the deal is also non-guaranteed.

McCaw cannot get traded this season once his contract becomes guaranteed after January 7th.

McCaw averaged 4 points and 1.7 rebounds last season for the Warriors.

The signing also keeps the Warriors' 15th roster spot open.

The Houston Rockets signed Austin Rivers to a contract guaranteed for the rest of this season. 

Rivers adds backcourt depth following Chris Paul's hamstring injury.

While there was animosity between Paul and Rivers going back to their Clippers' days, Paul had no objections to signing Rivers according to Adrian Wojnarowski. Paul is scheduled to be out for 2-3 weeks with the injury. 

Rivers averaged 7.2 points and 2 assists in 29 games with the Wizards this season.

Goodwin has yet to play any minutes in the NBA. He averaged 23.4 points and 5.3 rebounds with the Memphis Hustle in the G League.
