I was looking for Brian Cook, Clippers...he was sent to the Wizards, who then waved him in October...location unknown.

http://www.nba.com/historical/playerfile/index.html?player=brian_cook

And, well, I've a bit of a problem with part of the article:

"Some of these players are new to the league and still fighting for playing time, some are not living up to big contracts that they signed several seasons ago and some are simply past their prime and trying to hold on to their careers as long as they possibly can.

Unfortunately, some have suffered injuries that have altered their careers and have decreased their value significantly.

Not that I could play any better and not to take anything away from the hard work these guys have put in, but these are the players we are often not sure why they have a job in the NBA."

So comparing the headline with what is actually in the story...to me, makes the author look like a dick.

p.s.....as I went through the Worthless 50, I noted that the date on that article is January 2012...no wonder I couldn't find virtually anyone on a team...they've almost all been traded and are not even listed as playing.
