CDR got cut?

damn...i wanted CDR to crack the rotation

that sucks. Brown didn't give him a fair chance at all he barely played the last 3 games

CDR? Did they not see Howard's reaction to CDR's steal and putback a couple games ago?

I have a feeling they'll just absorb Clark's salary, waive him and keep Sacre, Glock and Morris. DJO might be a goner too he's barely played just like CDR

Two more Lakers waived (Chris Douglas-Roberts + Greg Somogyi). Three players fighting for one or two spots: Sacre, Johnson-Odom + Goudelock.

No room guys. He was going to play garbage minutes anyway.

Metta/Ebanks/Jamison
Kobe/Meeks/Ebanks

Sacre DESERVES to make the cut, and DJO would be a prospect to keep in D-league, and he seems to be a close to Dwight.

I'm shocked by the CDR cut. He has the potentially to be our best scorer off the bench. Especially with how Jamison has looked.

How in the world Morris got a guaranteed contract is beyond me Say bye bye to DJO now.

I'm pretty sure they want to keep Morris so he can be mentored by Nash...

cant say i am suprised...but i wish we signed him...

lets see whats they going to do now with our 4pg rotation...morris should be cuted...

Waste of time, roster spot... and even air if you ask me.

Dammit dammit dammit. I wanted him far more than Goudelock. He was always working hard and doing his thing out there... yeah, Somogyi could have really helped this team...

Was listening to 710 and they said Morris only has a partially guaranteed contract, so there is hope he can be cut.

that's too bad. i really think, as someone mentioned, that CDR would be a great scoring contributor off the bench. i'm not sure devin ebanks is ready to be that guy just yet. might have made a mistake here imo...

Everyone in this thread knows whats up.......except realdeal.

CDR is > morris, goudelock or D Odom.

Damn that is disappointing to read. CDR isn't a star, but IMO we're going to regret cutting him, he could have been a very good bench player for us. I believe some other team will pick him up now and I wish him well.

CDR was close to dwight, kobe and meeks. plus he really respected the other guys on the team. im not happy with him getting cut.

I'm not sure why they cut him. He can play.

He could have contributed way more then Morris/Blake/Duhon/Clark.....but they have guaranteed deals so they are pretty much a lock no matter what.

Can't believe we cut him and now have to roll forward with the garbage above.

Exactlyy why i hate coach brown. He can't recognize value of and he could have played this guy more and all would have seen his indispensable height, shot creation ability, and he's a str8 baller off the bench.

Youtube his 2nd year mix ... dude is sick to me

Remember when Smush Parker had 'the surgery' and changed his name to Candace then went on to dominate the WNBA? Dolores Morris should take the same route.

CDR deserved a shot on this team above Morris.
