The Hawks can no longer rescind the QO if they wanted to. Per the CBA:

Two-Way Player Qualifying Offers —

• Timing — A team can withdraw a Qualifying Offer (regular or maximum) on or before July 13 without a player’s consent. If it’s not withdrawn by then, the player has until October 1 to accept it and the Qualifying Offer may only be withdrawn with his consent. A player cannot accept a Qualifying Offer after October 1 unless the team (before October 1) extended the time for him to accept it.

Could he still get cut and waived?  For example if they see a better option during training camp we could cut Cooper and sign them instead.  The guarantee is that he gets paid, not that he has to stay on the roster.  Right?

Coop resigned.

As expected.

Has a sore hand, finger.  Played Summer League any way.  He's one of ours.  Glad he's back.

[terrell]

Bye Rife...Good luck..

 

[ATLHawks3]

Damn. Best of luck to Sharife.

[JTB]

No shock here.

[swanlee]

Well that was an epic fall. Thought he would be a good backup to Trae

[JayBirdHawk]

Interesting??

Etienne needs that 2 way...

Just another part of Schlenk’s BPA strategy.  Selects players based on ‘sizzle’ even if they don’t have a realistic path to playing time regardless of realized potential. 
 

Maybe Landry is more of a contact hitter with an eye for filling in the margins over Schlenk’s power approach?

Oh wait..So does this mean that Summer league does matter or was this decision made before summer league @AHF ?

[sturt]

I'm withholding any further comment, me, until we hear something from a horse's mouth. It's too easy to speculate that one or the other or both sides had lost patience, however it also could be less antagonistic... maybe Coop's agent was persuaded that there is a better opportunity in Europe, for example.

No.  Weird flex tho. 

[JayBirdHawk]

I mentioned last week Hawks had a mid-July Date or so to pull QO.

Bruno like disappointment. I had such high expectations for him and saw during the Gleague that he ain't it when Cat Barber was superior 

[Sothron]

I'm not shedding tears that Cooper is gone. He had no chance of any minutes for us. He probably is better off going overseas tbh.
