Dahntay Jones is set to make $127 for his time on the Cleveland Cavilers.

The 36-year-old veteran was signed on the last day of the NBA season by the Cavs. He was signed to fill the bottom of the bench. His base salary was for $9,127, but because of the fines he has picked up in his limited number of minutes, he will only receive $127 of the $9,127.

Jones was fined $6,000 after he was ejected in game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup against the Toronto Raptors. With less than 3 minutes to play, the Cavilers held a 114-102 lead against Toronto. Jones was uncontested as he dunked and started trash talking Raptors center Jakob Poeltl. Jones was called for the technical foul and was ejected upon continuing to argue with referees.


Teammate LeBron James looked exasperated while watching from the bench. “I said I was going to pay the fine before I even knew what it was, so it didn’t matter,” James told reporters last month. Jones would be fined and ejected from game 3 of the Toronto series.

“I told him tonight, I said, ‘Listen, Dahntay. Enough is enough. Stop getting kicked out against Toronto all the time. I’m gonna have to stop paying your damn fines.’ Yeah, he don’t have to worry about it. He’s good,” James said.

Jones was fined $80 in game 3 for hitting Raptors Bismack Biyombo in the groin, and was suspended for game 4.

He would further his rap sheet against Golden State as he received another technical for trash talking on the Cavilers’ bench, earning him a $3,000 fine from the league.

A GoFundMe has been started to pay off all of Jones’ fines. Cleveland fan Ricky Smith started the account. The fund is currently at $210 of its $6,000 goal (Smith started the fund after game 1 of the Conference Semifinals). Smith said on his page that money not spent of fines will be donated to the charity of Jones’ choice.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
