    Also: the Cavs waived Quinn Cook.
    And the Pelicans waived Bo McCalebb! That one hurts - he's a SUPERSTAR in Macedonia, and he's a N'Awlins native. Think Patty Mills only without the endearing personality.

    Some of these cuts are done with the expectation that the player cut will play for the team's D-League franchise. I don't know how that works and whether another team can just sign them, but it doesn't necessarily mean the team is no longer interested in the player.

    We gave Elliot Williams 4 years and he didn't do anything. Why can't we give Jimmer one year give him a try? It's not like we are going to be competing for the playoffs.

    because they drafted Williams and it cost them very little. He was under contract.

    Jimmer is a free agent and would cost them a player on their roster who is younger and has a much higher ceiling.

    Jimmer has no business being in the league. He's a 1 trick pony, and that pony isn't actually any good. He's 26, and after 4 years of college AND 4 years of the NBA he's shown that he's got nothing.

    Because, logically, he's already been given 3-4 shots.

    Use logic for once.

    I thought Elliot would stick with the Jazz but he's probably Euro bound

    The Blazers need to stay Pat...

    Thanis Antetokounmpo, Andonis Thomas, Upshaw, and Jordan Crawford caught my eye. Particularly the first two, who have a lot of upside...I'm sure they will be cherry picked or become monsters in the D league

    As for Jimmer he's had his chances...I'm sure china would like him. Hell he could be a star there, and get his ego massaged.

    Elliot Williams is a veteren in a league that is switching its alleigence to younger players. To the D league with him.

    For someone who isn't even on our team, he sure is untouchable.

    Get married to him already, damn.

    Jimmer is probably better off going back to his alma mater and becoming an assistant to an assistant coach.
