The Blazers have waived veterans Quinn Cook, Marquese Chriss and Patrick Patterson, the team announced in a press release today. All three players were signed to non-guaranteed training camp deals.
Portland currently has 16 players under contract (including two on two-way deals), meaning one roster spot remains available to use. The team committed to adding guard Dennis Smith Jr. to its opening day roster on Saturday, bringing the roster count to 16, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported (via Twitter).
Chriss appeared in four preseason games with the team, while Cook and Patterson appeared in two. Portland will open its regular season at home against Sacramento on Wednesday.
Trail Blazers will no longer be able to feed it’s players.
They have waived the team’s COOK !!
Draymond had said that it wasn’t Marquese Chriss who was the problem, but all the sh_tty teams he’s been with.
Guess Draymond was wrong again.
Chriss had some good games in pre-Season + Blazers have no real backup C now …
Chriss is a scrub. Huge bust. Worse than Kris Dunn.
I love when clowns who played JV basketball call guys that have been on an NBA roster for 5 years a scrub.
Dude 8 th pick in draft! Set for life. Plus he will be on roster somewhere, at some point
