Spurs give former Cavaliers developmental project a shot at proving Cleveland wrong

As part of the De'Andre Hunter trade, the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired G League prospect Emanuel Miller from the Chicago Bulls.

When the Cavaliers added Miller to the ranks, they already had a stacked wing rotation with the Charge, and rather than overload the team, Cleveland waived Miller.

As many NBA teams have begun using two-way roster spots as real opportunities to develop overlooked talents, the Cavaliers have been one of the best teams at fulfilling that goal. Dean Wade, Sam Merrill, Craig Porter, Jr. and Nae'Qwan Tomlin all began their Cavs tenure on the Charge. Unfortunately for Miller, Cleveland's staff did not see the same potential in him.
