What's new

Cooley

So he can be traded on draft night or released before the season.

Teams are getting smart about setting these things up so they can facilitate deals and/or prepare for a Hassan Whiteside situation.

Has to be this. No way we'll need him for our playoffs run next year.. LOL
 
Pretty clear he's getting traded or cut. He deserves the rest of the year deal. He plays his *** off... Not sure he'll ever be worthy of a real roster spot but I think he could be a Lou Amundsen type... Plays for 3 or 4 teams per year and always seems to find a team by year end.
 
No doubt it's a deal with multiple years, but all the additional years are team option (similar to the deal Millsap signed). These contracts are great. They are cheap and have very little risk involved. Plus, it gives these players that are on the bubble to get a chance to play hard and show their value.

Fixed.
 

I wonder if underneath the current is that Little Sap, Cooley and Cotton are good eggs with not the most talent but are good for chemistry whereas other DLeaguers like Williams, Johnson, and Benimon were not such good eggs. I think Willaims and Johnson might have had more talent but are not on rosters right now.

Probably. Seems to be the case with Cotton anyway:

"Cotton is the third point guard on the Jazz roster, behind Dante Exum and Trey Burke. Still, he's carved out a niche as a good practice player. His demeanor in the locker room has also earned the respect of his teammates.

"Bryce has helped us on and off the court," Utah forward Trevor Booker said. "He, quiet, and he's just come in here and worked hard."
 
Elijah Millsap, Cotton, Johnson and Cooley...are we sure there were not better players in D-League? I mean with more uspide.

Upside doesn't amount to ****. Elijah (for sure) and Cooley (to an extent) have already proven productive when given the minutes. I for one would love to see both as our 12th/13th guys next season assuming Burks and Hood are both healthy and we add another couple pieces via the draft/free agency. Ingles I can't imagine will be around. It will be him or Elijah and Elijah is already a good defensive player with a high ceiling on offense. Ingles is really limited on both ends of the court, albeit a great teammate from the outside looking in.

I hope Cooley sticks. He's a proven rebounder and you can't have too many of those.

Both Elijah and Ingles had solid performances but frankly speaking Cooley has proven nothing.
