IMO, this just means they're good with Neal/Manu for backup, and that it's more important for CJ to get time in Austin.
No Link but @JMcDonald_SAEN:Spurs announce they've assigned Cory Joseph to Austin. Hmmm ...."
Not a surprise, but I guess that means the Mills' signing is finalized?

@JMcDonald_SAEN Cory Joseph heading to Austin again could mean nothing more than kid needs playing time. Time of the move is curious, however.
Probably indicative of Patty Mills' status. The Spurs have consistently moved him back and forth between Austin based on injuries and PG availability all season.
Unfortunately, they can't send him back to college.
Thanks for all your hard work CJ, now GTFO!
Gotta think Mills will be cleared soon due to this news.

Patty Mills being delayed due to government paperwork
He's got no business in a Spurs uniform tbh. Not just yet.
Now maybe the focus can be on getting another big on this roster??
Joseph has 25 points and 6 assists yesterday for the first game of this assignment:

It's good to see him producing at the D-League level. The best for his development would likely be to stay with the Toros until the end of the season which isn't sure with Parker injury and Mills visa troubles.
Good to see Joseph do something. I wonder if anyone watched it and could tell us whether CJ or Dentmon played PG.
Cool stat on Joseph: After missing his second free throw of the D-League season, he's 34-for-34 at the line with the Toros.
Meanwhile, he's 7-for-11 at the line for the Spurs. Well, at least he has perfected that aspect of being a Spur
It was strange because the Toros often ran a three guard lineup with Dentmon, Lester Hudson and Joseph after falling way behind. Whenever he was out there, Joseph ran the point almost exclusively. Iowa didn't press with anymore than one person, and Joseph handled that fine. He was looking for his own shot a bit too much after a couple of nice makes; Toros bigs Zeller and Wright should have been fed a lot more. Defensively, Joseph didn't allow a much larger and reigning league MVP guard to go off on him, so there's that.
I wonder if the D-League looks slower to him now, after spending some time in the NBA? Maybe his time here will help him get the most out of the D-League. I hope he develops and makes his way back. He really put a lot of effort into trying to bring defensive pressure, and he always looked like he was soaking up every bit of knowledge he could. And the other guys on the bench all seemed like they liked him and took him seriously.
We may see him again, but I hope it's not until next year, at least.
I'm not sure people know it but you can re-watch D-League games on the D-League site with their futurecast tool.
In games I've seen, Dentmon monopolized the ball a lot. The best for Joseph would be that a team called Dentmon up. Toros also have a logjam of guards with Joseph, Dentmon, Squeaky, Hudson, Wanamaker and Sanders. Their roster could use some retooling especially if Joseph stay for the reminder of the year.
Yeah, I don't know how many more roster moves the Toros are allowed. That Leo Lyons trade was a disaster. Josh Davis should just be injury waived so he can rest his back. I think the Dentmon PG experiment may be over, especially if Joseph and Johnson are going to stay on the team the rest of the season. Hudson is a freak athlete and can play 1-3 in the D-League.
Hopefully CJ finishes strong with the Toros. Give the kid some confidence heading into the offseason.

Damn, getting Dentmon out of the way was a great idea. Don't send him back.

Wow...that's one of a triple dub stat line. Starting to look like an NBA player playing against fringe players.
Cory looking very good. Hoping to see a lot more of that.
WOW!!!
Very good.
That's an unbelievable line even for the DLeague.
17 rebounds? From a PG? Holy .
Has he been taking night classes at the Kawhi Leonard School of Rebounding?
In fairness, Austin won 112-82 in blow out fashion. It appears that the compe ive level of the game disappeared at some point. Still, thats an insane stat line at any level.
timvp, what happened with Dentmon? Why didn't he play? Getting traded? Called up?
Edit: I saw the "Spurs Call-up Justin Dentmon" thread as soon as I closed this one. Got it.
