Why the Nuggets simply waived Omar Cook? They could trade the rights of him for the first round pick.
You know, I always say you should make arguments without bothering to use facts. Good job! Simple facts: * Nugs tried to trade him for a long time * Cook held out, missing the first week or so of camp * No team even showed remote interest except New Jersey who was willing to offer only a 2nd round pick * We acquired Satterfield from Dallas, so we figured why not let them duke it out in camp and let the best man win We cut him instead of getting a 2nd round pick. No loss what-so-ever.
yah, I thought that it was weird that they gave up a first rounder for him, especially with all the pgs on their roster, and their 2nd best player being a pg. They needed beef imo, not another pg, but at least they didn't use it on a swing man. But every team makes draft mistakes, big whoop.
You know, I always thought Cook had some serious talent, at least passing wise. Not much of a jumper, but the guy could really drive and dish. I'm a little suprised the Nuggets let him go so early though . . .
pfffft...screw that. he cost us very little, had a terrible attitude, didnt impress and probably wont play anywhere this year. the mavs signed him and then put him on IR right away! lol. we are defintely set at PG.
