Jared Cunningham

[Otsego Mar]

Could we not call him Cunny though...

If we are rolling with Cunny, then I dont want his ass on the team

Hammy?

 

[needmorecowbell]

So did he make the team? Or was it Cook?

 

[gratefuldead]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have waived forward Austin Daye, guard/forward D.J. Stephens, guard Dionte Christmas and Forward Jack Cooley, Cavaliers General Manager David Griffin announced today from Cleveland Clinic Courts. The Cavs roster now stands at 16.

Still one more cut to make between Cook Harris (doubtful), and Cunningham, unless I'm mistaken.

EDIT: And I was mistaken. Had Christmas in the original list of hopefuls.

From the Cavs roster page:

If you subtract Daye, Sephens, Christmas, Cooley that leaves Cook and Cunningham.

You're mistaken, the link you quoted says Christmas was already cut.

Whoop, you're right. I meant to say Harris as a potential, but even then, it doesn't seem necessary when Cook is ripe for cutting.

 

[tocov]

Yeah I forsee Cook being cut.
My hopes are that we swallow Joey's contract and sign a better player. Like anyone else from our training camp guys.

They might both get cut. Considering the tax bill it is possible we'll roll with 14 for awhile to save some dough. I like the idea of trying to develop someone, but I also understand Dan deciding not to spend $21k a day in taxes on a guy who doesn't play.

I think what Ben said a couple days ago is true that the cavs are looking to move Harris. Keeping both Cunningham and Cook strengthens the roster. Cook could easily grow to be a long term backup to Kyrie.

Cunningham's deal is non guaranteed, so the Cavs can hold him until January without any tax implications.

I believe it is January 10th when all contracts become guaranteed for the remainder of the year (and are applied to the calculations for taxes).

Yep, except Christmas was cut.

Well, the coach is Jewish

Cool. Well, then we might as keep him until the rest of our guards all get hurt.

I really hope we wont cut Jared, I love this kid and I think we can find some playing time for him while kyrie and shump are out
