Say Good-bye to Pat Burke and Tierre Brown
>From Janny Hu.
As expected, the Warriors made their final cuts by waiving camp
invitees Pat Burke and Tierre Brown today. Coach Don Nelson took a
long look at Burke, whom he was hoping would be able to backup Andris
Biedrins at center, but the 6-11 Irishman "just wasn't quite good
enough" in the end.
That means second-round pick Stephane Lasme is safe and Patrick
O'Bryant remains the backup center. If O'Bryant isn't ready, then
expect to see some of Al Harrington and Austin Croshere in middle
relief. Nelson will also take a look at Lasme at the 5, though even
Nelson admits that might be a stretch for a 6-8 player who was on the
roster bubble.
