    He does have an expiring so he does have value. In the off season.

    The guy I want to see is White.

    is this a troll?

    Everytime he is sent out there during blowout he just tries to pad his stats. I would be fine if Cook never played again tbh, but he is a great cheerleader on the bench.

    He was forcing the issue, playing tense trying to impress his new coaches, trying to do too much in the short time he had. All he needs is time to get in rhythm to feel comfortable and he will start draining 3s with a sweet stroke--book it.

    I don't know how much time there is for him to get some pt and with playoffs coming up RA tends to play only 8 to 9 players in the rotation. We will find out tonight though.

    Lemme ask you a question: did someone piss in your Captain Crunch this morning? Because this is the fourth thread in a row where I've seen you behaving like you've got a bad case of PMS. If you're trying to prove what an assbag you are, you made a believer out of me, Melvin

    Stupid is to have him on the bench gaining 3M for nothing and don't give him any chance.

    So, how about you closing your mouth the next time until you learn some basketball? Qué lerdos sois algunos, pobrecillos.

    Novak IS a defensive liability, Cook is bigger than him, better rebounder, and has more presence in the zone. Cook also can score points near the basket.

    Actually with Carl out now I wouldn't mind giving Cook a chance.

    I don't think he should play. I have never liked Cook, or any other big man that couldn't contribute down low (except Bull of course). But if he got playing time you'd think he could put up the same stats Bonner does for the Spurs.

    I'd like to see James White, to see how's he fitting in the game.

    Maybe a chance against the T-Wolves tonight.

    I wanna see white more than cook. Cook is a turnover machine with very low IQ. He's just there to fill up the roster.

    Who is he going to replace? Certainly not Landry when he comes back.

    I wouldn't mind seeing him playing for Chuck Hayes, but Cook's defense is not the best in the world. He's a 3 point shooter and that's about it.

    I would like to see Cook play too, but We are going ready for the playoffs so It's just a little too late for Cook-Daddy.

    Is about basketball. For example, remember Lakers defense, with that trap to Yao from the baseline.

    With Scola/Landry at the PF:

    With a shooting PF:

    Plus, Cook is something different at what we have, while White can't give us nothing that don't give us Wafer, Artest, Barry or Shane.

    o really? stupid is to have him on the bench making 3m? hmmmm cause last time i checked it was best to keep the scrubs on the bench...SO YOU CAN TRY TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. If you are trying to make a point that cook is a player that should be in the rotation, then please be my guest and make a valid point that why he should be. cause to me and quite a few number of people on this thread think the same. and hey!!! screw me and everybody else's opinion....ummm does coach play him?ummmmmm dur....NO! there is a reason he isn't getting a chance. and whatever you said in spanish ... here is your response....eat a burrito.
