Who Gets Waived?

I voted Cook. Troy Daniels is the best shooter on the team. I could easily see him loosening up defenses trying to stifle Bron or Brow in the playoffs. He'll be LBJ's Paxon or Steve Kerr.

I like Cook, but I'd take "Trey" Daniels over him.

I think Dudz is too valuable in the locker room to be let go. I believe from Bron all the way to the ball boys - everyone respects Dudz.

Cousins, he is done.

Going to be a tough call because Frank actually uses all the guys in a role aside from Dudley, who only comes in rarely but you can sense he has his role that goes without playing.

If pushed and say we are adding a free agent like Iguodala, I think I would have to see if someone would take Cook via trade, because he is not going to get backup PG minutes with the way Bradley, Rondo, Caruso are playing.

(In order of most minutes)

Dwight-McGee-AD
AD-Kuzma-Lebron
Lebron-Iguodala-Green
KCP-Green-Daniels
Bradley-Rondo-Caruso

Don't think if healthy, Cook or Dudley would play. But you would maybe like to have Dudley for some defensive purposes in the playoffs and his 3nD burst he could give you in an important game If Kuzma does not improve his O game by playoffs, then you would guess that Lebron and Dudley take his minutes at 4 and then Iguodala if that's the guy we sign is your backup 3.

I think Cook is the most expendable and least valuable now that we know Rondo, Caruso and Bradley all have positive roles on this team.

What we can do is trade our flotsam for another's team's flotsam.

For example, aggregating Cook + Daniels, we can trade for 8.085 ($4.62m x 175%) in salary. I'd look for guys who are languishing on the bench as an expiring deal. Some quick names:

Crowder (not exactly languishing but an expiring)
DJ Augustin
Josh Jackson

Etc.

Daniels or Cook. Dudley is by far the worst player, but he's a damn good glue guy and this type of championship chemistry needs that.

What about James Ennis? Philly needs a guard who can score some.
