The Pels dropped Cooke from his two-way contract. Odd timing. Mike James is now the only two-way player.

Not sure what this is about. I really liked Cooke and would have bet on him getting more minutes than Frank Jackson next year. I wonder if Mike James on a 2 way means they want to rebalance and add a big. Oh wait, the deadline to add guys to 2way contracts has already passed...

Did they just cut him to save what would probably amount to less than $50k?

Yeah, I am perplexed as to the rationale here. I liked Cooke and it costs them practically nothing to keep him. The deadline to sign 2-way contracts was January 15th also, but I am unsure if you can replace a 2-way contract you waived after that date.

Correction, they Pelicans are simply reassigning him to a new G League team, the Salt Lake City Stars, hence his assignment to Greensboro has been terminated. Apologies for the confusion. LINK



That makes a lot more sense.

Yep, that clears things up. Waiving him at this point made no sense. Moving him to another G-League team is normal.

I was partly right

"Frank is gonna come back soon and will go to Greensboro. Cooke likely won't get called back much, if at all, this year. Want to get him as many minutes as possible."



I'm guessing the part in quotes is from team sauces. The Greensboro Swarm probably want to feature a star player from Duke which is nearby.
