    Doesn't make a lot of sense to cut Cook. I expected Toupane to get waived, but Cook appears to have shown some promise.

    very strange move on Cook, must have something brewing for b/o point guard position.

    Or just keeping one of Jrue or Rondo on the floor at all times?

    Still if injury hits..

    Don't sleep on Frank Jackson.


    According to Rotoworld


    "The Pelicans have waived PG Quinn Cook."

    "He was owed a non-guaranteed $1.3 million for 2017-18, but the Pelicans don't need him after signing Rajon Rondo and drafting Frank Jackson. Cook will be looking for a training camp invite somewhere, but he's likely headed to the G-League or overseas."

    Very strange. I'm hesitant to rely on a second round rookie for any quality minutes.

    Such a bad move in cutting Cook. We now have no backup PG with any sort of experience. I guess we will see E. Moore as the backup PG.

    Surprised by Cook, but certainly there are other moves (maybe including Cook's return) in the works.

    I am suprised. can we resign him later on a different deal ? so that we have now more flexibility, or doesnt that work?

    Cook couldn't have played any better in summer league to at least get his contract guaranteed. hope hes back but a two way contract limits his availability in the NBA to a certain amount of games and as of right now he feels like the primary backup for opening night. weird just to save $75k

    It's not the end of the world, just bad optics for a team that needs to look like it's on top of things.

    Michael Jordan Crawford is a better playmaker than Moore

    Cook became expendable once Rondo was signed. Rondo and Jrue will both start, no doubt. I think the plan throughout the game will be to stagger their minutes to make sure at least one of them is on the court, at all times, as the primary ball-handler. They can even allow Moore or Crawford play PG in limited minutes.

    If anything, they are helping Cook increase his chances of becoming a back-up PG on a team that needs him.

    Either we have plans for someone better, he's delusional and thinks he deserves sixth man minutes, Frank Jackson already looks ready despite being on the the mend, or he's coming back on a diff contract.

    How dare you bring logic into this discussion.

    DOes this clear enough room for Cunningham? Because he is far more valuable than either of these guys. I like Cook but Dante is exactly what this team needs, a shooter that can defend multiple positions.

    I think we still have less than a million under the apron so no.

    Maybe Ajinca is being moved for a second to free up cap room

    I'm disappointed they couldn't at least package them for a player or something. Hopefully its a sign of something brewing in the trade department.

    There has to be a trade coming. I hope we don't give up a first to move Asik. How many firsts will that guy have cost us now? Like 15 total?

    Just buy him out and Dell and have Benson both go halves

    It's both their fault we signed him for so much

    They wanted to sign Jalen Jones.

    We've got guards,
    but we're just a bunch of Pelicans with no wings.

    Is that 15 with Jones and DC or only Jones?
