This is not a sport, but a cutthroat Entertainment Business

" The Clippers waived third-year forward Jordan Miller on Tuesday, a league source said, a move that will give them a bit more room below the first apron, a payroll threshold slightly above the luxury tax. Had they not waived Miller, giving Beal a $5.3 million salary would have made it more complicated to fill out the roster with two veterans on minimum contracts. "

Clippers likely to sign Bradley Beal if Suns buy out contract: Sources

If he goes to the Clippers, Beal would be part of a potential lineup including James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, John Collins and Ivica Zubac.

"Jordan Miller, the Clippers’ young wing player, was waived Tuesday, the team announced. Miller would have been owed a partial guarantee of $350,000 had he remained on the roster past July 15.

The 25-year-old Miller averaged 4.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per game across 37 regular-season appearances last season.

Miller, a 2023 second-round draft pick by the Clippers, earned a standard four-year, $8.3 million deal on March 1 after also starring for the Clippers’ G League team during his first two seasons. He also was impressive in the 2023 Summer League, finishing second in the MVP voting.

He is on the team’s 2025 Summer League roster and is expected to remain with the organization for now. The Clippers’ summer league opener against the Milwaukee Bucks is Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Cox Pavilion.

If the Clippers cannot find a suitor for Miller within the first 48 hours after being waived, he becomes an unrestricted free agent."

Clippers Waive Jordan Miller

The plan is for Miller to remain with the Clippers on a new deal, assuming he clears waivers. More at Hoops Rumors.

"It’s worth noting that Miller is on the Clippers’ summer league roster. According to Law Murray of The Athletic (Twitter link), assuming Miller clears waivers, the plan is for the 25-year-old to return to the team on a new contract and continue with summer league."

"Miller hit the 50-game limit for two-way players on March 1, which is part of the reason the Clips converted him. They also gave him a prorated salary for 2024/25 well above the minimum using part of their mid-level exception, with the remaining three years of his deal being non-guaranteed.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a team decided to claim Miller, as he’s shown some real upside at the NBAGL level, including averaging 24.9 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 3.6 APG and 1.0 SPG on .509/.350/.844 shooting in seven games last season (31.1 MPG)."

Hopefully, Jordan makes it back to the NBA. If not, I just hope he isn't that guy that talks about the two years he played in the Association but never did anything else except bail on his first team and then run a Big East program into the ground. No one likes that.

EDIT: Shot at FKE, not Jordan.

Hey, he stayed longer than the coach he would’ve played for had he not gone to Miami. He could also talk about making the final four? The hell are you even trying to get at? Don’t be so butt hurt.

Positive energy and best wishes to all that have donned the green and gold!

Was a shot at FKE, not Jordan. I can see why you reacted that way. Poor wording on my part.

My mind was still putting Miami in the Big East,” and jumping to conclusions, I guess. Only joined the ACC about 20 years ago.
