Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

Brian Cook Buyout!!!

I'm sure everyone is going to just be torn to pieces by the awful news. Jonathan Feigen via twitter...

http://twitter.com/Jonathan_Feigen



"Rockets to complete Brian Cook buyout tomorrow. Will bring back Garrett Temple for a second 10-day to play backup point, source said. "

 

He had some pretty productive garbage time his last few outings. I think my last memory of him will be the dunk he had at the end of the Memphis Grizzles game... so much potential!!

UPDATE

Cook will be waived, not bought out

by jroberts5 on Feb 19, 2010 4:01 PM CST reply actions  

what is the difference?

by DizzyKC on Feb 19, 2010 4:36 PM CST reply actions  

Wavied means we pay out Brian Cook’s contract (=100% of his remaining contract value)
Bought out means we give him some severance pay (<100% of his remaining contract value)

B^2
In Daryl Morey, Rick Smith and Ed Wade we (usually) trust.

Most disappointing thing about this

Is that the Dream Shake’s tag line, "Expecting “Cook for LeBron” Any Day Now" is a tad less likely to actually happen.

To all Houston sports fans, Houston is the 4th biggest city in America, there will be traffic on the way to your respective sports game. Come Early, Be Loud, Stay Late.

THIS JUST IN

Brian Cook will flee town because the Mob has put a hit on him.

Cook was useless, but don't

be surprised if some team will sign him. Even next year, i wouldnt be surprised if he signs with some team for minimum salary. Minimum salary still beats a 8-5 job.

Bonzi Wells averaged like 40 a night.

In China. I imagine Cook could do ok.

Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.

The end of an era

Goodbye, “Garbage Man”. You will be missed.

By somebody.

I’m sure.

It’s official!

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-rockets-moves&prov=ap&type=lgns

Yahoo is reporting Cook has been waived and Garrett Temple has be resigned to another 10 day contract.

Bye, Cookie. Go warm someone elses bench…

I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...

by steeler-hater on Feb 20, 2010 2:23 PM CST reply actions  

The bench has been too cold for them

I don’t know who the designated benchwarmer is now, but they better assign one quick

I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed.

Well we could just sit our injured players down in the bench..

but i dont think we would have any room for our active players…
