[DRDJ1]

Does he still have pending felony charges?

[SaintPelican225]

rivers is next

Lol.....what could we get in return...swamp land in Phoenix and some lemon pepper wings ?

[504ByrdGang]

Does he still have pending felony charges?

No it was found out she lied

[SaintPelican225]

Does he still have pending felony charges?

Nope....she made a false claim.....charges dropped completely......

[SaintPelican225]

He and AD where about to fight the last time Pels played in Minny....I hope AD has a forgiving heart....lol

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

Dante Cunningham....another SF who can't hit the 3???

We need a gritty player for once. Him and salmons will be nice. Now just need a legit back up pg, and back up center and a starting wing, not a lemon pepper wing.

Not gonna lie, lemon pepper wings sounds delicious.

Cunningham would be nice. Career 20 MPG bench guy. Decent mid range game and willing defender. Can't shoot the 3 and is a tweener. The reason he's available is the (false) domestic violence accusations and the bad PR, not because he can't play.

We lack depth and Dell is trying to find capable players for the second unit. Good.

[N.O.Bronco]

I mean is he an upgrade over what we just cut? Yeah. Does he fill a need? Yes and No. He can play some three but he can't really start if an injury occurs.

[Asteptooslow]

Didn't think they would have gotten waived. Thought a couple of others maybe. I don't like getting rid of length and hustle. It isn't a big deal but they are always good to have in practice.

Hope there is more to this story.

Any legitimate rotation player fills a need. Our biggest need is pure depth.

[N.O.Bronco]

But how does he actually fit in the rotation of things? I mean we need depth but we need depth that works with what we have.

[Asteptooslow]

Dante Cunningham is no different than anyone else we have.

[N.O.Bronco]

Dante Cunningham is no different than anyone else we have.

I mean he is a proven role player that is pretty decent. My issue though is fit.

I mean if he comes off the bench how does it work? Ryno plays the 3? Cunningham at the 3? He can't really ever play with the starters because he would kill floor spacing. But I guess since Rivers isnt really getting our shooters off the bench quality looks to keep the floor spaced then we mine as well bring in a guy that can maybe slow the bleeding during critical periods we struggle like between the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter.

[Mr. West]

Cunningham may become the best wing defender on this team not named "Holiday" and honestly he's just slightly above average.

He fits well with Ryno. He doesn't necessarily kill spacing--he hits the mid range jumper pretty reliably. He is 41% on his career between 16' and 3. For reference, AD this year is 42% from that range. And over his career, he has taken over half of his shots from that range. He's definitely a "stretch" player who is capable of defending the wing against lesser players. I don't know if that makes him a 3 or a 4, but he can fit with Ryno and Withey on the second unit IMO.

Cunningham has career stats as a role player....Miller has had plenty of opportunities to carve out his niche with this team...couldn't do it.....time to move on.....

[BallSoHard]

Oh nos, we cut two players who will struggle to make a roster for the rest of their careers.

I agree....hopefully this will relieve Ryno from chucking so many shots.....If only we could find a backup PG

Ok this makes me start to see the full picture.

To be fair, I haven't seen anyone complain about cutting Miller hahaha.

; but that's AD's boy.

[PelsFan2313]

; but that's AD's boy.

Thank god that project has been scrapped. Too many zeros on the scoring sheet to be a everyday rotation player.

[Eman5805]

This game is why that name seemed so familiar...
