Wow.

I don't know what else Cole can do to impress. Tough business.

I think it's dumb but this is what the NBA unfortunately thinks

Someone I would think snags Cole. He’s been rock solid and lights out as a shooter

Don't know what else he can do. He plays defense as best and hard as he can, but still not great. Used to be a time when a knock down shooter could thrive on a team with a superstar that draws attention on offense.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

You guys are way overthinking this.

Swider is a fringe NBA player that has a really solid skill. He may yet end up on a roster/with a contract, but teams may or may not be in a rush to finish out their rosters/G-league teams with fringe guys.

Since he’s not under contract with the heat Cole did not start tonight. But he did play 20 mins and went 4-5 from 3 and 3-3 from the foul line for 15 points.

In 3 summer league games Cole has played 73 minutes. 53 points. 13/21 from 3.

Imagine dropping a guy and he pops that out the next day. That's a double middle finger if I ever saw one. That said, he could play defense like Helen Kellar and would be a plus with that line.

I wish the Knicks would pick him up.

Join the Novas.

Can a team just take away a two-way offer and release you if they decide later they prefer another player?

Yes, the two-way can be revoked at any time and all G-League contracts are non-guaranteed.

For sure. Bridges was a nice pickup. But they could use another (rotation) shooter at forward.

 

[djcon57]

Knicks have Brunson, Deuce, Donte, Hart, OG, Randle, Bridges.
Drafted Kolek.

I really don't see a spot for Cole in their rotation at all unless there's an injury or 3.

I think a spot for him would be the Spurs. They have lots of guys who play D, but no great shooters around Wemby. Good team to for him to get on the ground level.

The Knicks 3pt aces are mostly guards (so is Kolec). Anunoby (+/-$40M) and Bridges (+/- $23M) can shoot but they're starter-level guys. Ttheir big guard/SF rotation shooters (Bogo and Burks) are gone. Seems like there's an opportunity for a 6-8 sniper, especially a low-cost player since the Knicks are capped out.

 

[rrlbees]

Cole had his first bad shooting game. Played 15 mins but was 1-6 from 3. Had 4 rebs.

Still probably shooting 60% even with that game haha.

 

[rrlbees]

Cole played 19 mins today and scored 9 pts. Was 3-5 from 3 with 3 rebs, 1 ast and 1 blk. Missed out on 5 mins at the end as he got hit in the head which caused a cut that was bleeding. Went to the lockeroom and never came back. The guy he had been rotating with twisted his ankle in the 3rd and Cole was playing the rest of the way.

 

[rrlbees]

Cole started and played 25 mins tonight and was the leading scorer with 21 pts. Also had 4 rebs, 1 ast and 1 stl. Shot 4/8 from 3 and 7/13 overall. 3/3 on FTs.

Seems like he’s doing all he can to try to stick.

 

[rrlbees]

Heat won today in the Vegas semi finals and now play tomorrow for the championship. Cole started but didn’t do himself any favors only scoring 3 points without a basket, going 0-5 from 3.

 

[rrlbees]

Miami won the Vegas championship in OT. Cole played 23 mins scoring 19 pts. Shot 5/8 from 3.
