Joseph, who had spent his entire career in San Antonio, tweeted out his appreciation to the entire Spurs organization for their support.
"A sincere thank you to all the fans, RC, Coach Pop and the entire Spurs organization for all the support over the last 4 years. SA will always be close to my heart… had my first game and first championship here! #ThankYou#NextChapter"
In four seasons as Tony Parker’s backup Joseph saw his production increase every year. His 2015 campaign was the best of his career, where he averaged 6.8 points, 2.4 assists and 2.4 rebounds, and shot 50.4% from the field in just over 18 minutes per game.
