I don't think dumping him for nothing is what will or should happen. I wouldn't care if it did though. And Cotton is already outplaying anything Burke did in summer league. While also showing NBA skills Burke doesn't and will most likely never have. Move Burke to 3rd string PG and you might as well cut him.I dont think Cotton will outplay Burke, I guess we will see when the season starts. I also dont think Cotton will ever be a good shooter. Him and Burks coming off the bench together seems like a bad fit. Time will tell I guess.
Also it hurts nothing to let these two compete for the backup spot during the regular season for awhile. Especially compared to your suggestion of dumping Burke. If Cotton outplays him consistently he will earn more minutes and then you can still dump Burke. Again 0 reason to get rid of a young player who has a lot invested in him for nothing.
