Bummer! He misses that $1.7 million guaranteed, if he was on the roster August 11th... Now they sign him to a new contract August 12th, I suppose?
So yeah, ruthless business.
that is correct

Pistons signed Trey Lyles who sucks. Should have stuck with Cook.
I dont understand how Cook and Uthoff arent on NBA rosters. Cook will surely get picked up. I think that ship has sailed for J-U.
Uthoff was on a roster in 2020 and was an all G-League selection in 2021, so he's not too far gone.I dont understand how Cook and Uthoff arent on NBA rosters. Cook will surely get picked up. I think that ship has sailed for J-U.
Right. But given how well he performed in the G League, it is perplexing that no NBA teams have picked him up. I am obviously not giving up but he should try and maximize his earnings at this stage. He is what like 26?Uthoff was on a roster in 2020 and was an all G-League selection in 2021, so he's not too far gone.

I wonder how much a player gets paid for summer league? Gotta be something, right?

After seeing Uthoff dominate a few of the G League games I watched, I thought for sure he would be in the NBA playing for someone. Surely some of the bottom feeders could used a tall, rangy shooter who can rebound and is a quality human being. I sometimes wonder if it is his quiet nature that is his downfall. I wonder the same thing about Joe Wieskamp. Maybe their placid nature works against them in a league full of loud, "look at me" individuals, who celebrate every basket as if they are the first to ever pull it off.
Is it on tv?
I think Detroit is done with him barring a lot of injuries to their roster. Maybe they’ll offer a GLeague contract, but the two way contracts are now taken and the big league roster is overflowing currently. Unfortunately this may be the beginning of the end for his domestic career unless he can find another team that wants to take a shot with him.Anyone know what’s been going on the last few games that cook hasn’t played? I see the box score tonight says not with team.
yeah, unfortunately it looks like the G League for him this seasonBummer. Love to see two of the Hawk's toughest men playing rough on the same team. Especially a pair of guys that are easy to like.
He was tearing it up at the beginning of last year in the g-league. Maybe he can repeat the performance and find another team.
Yet he had to go to Japan to play this year. I watched him in some of his G League games and wondered what the heck more he had to be to make it in the NBA.Uthoff was on a roster in 2020 and was an all G-League selection in 2021, so he's not too far gone.
He went there for better money.Yet he had to go to Japan to play this year. I watched him in some of his G League games and wondered what the heck more he had to be to make it in the NBA.
At some point guys have to decide if it’s worth chasing a nba roster sport or make more $ over seas. We’ve seen White make a good living playing in Europe and passing up a training camp invite one year. I think with him having a kid and family right after he graduated made decision to make his $ while he could and has done quite well for himself. For a guy like cook who doesn’t have wife and kids can afford to take the G league route longer. Uthoff I think unfortunately is seeing the reality of a nba roster spot becoming less likely and wants to cash in while he still can.He went there for better money.
Im sure he could still be in the g league if he wanted but probably decided he needed to take the most dollar available at this point.
Didn't look like the nba would ever happen.

Good for him! He's worked hard. I hope he can make the roster.
