Manny Harris waived by Cavs

Hopefully he catches on someplace else, but I can't help but think it's a bad sign if you can't make the roster of one of the ~5 worst teams in the league. Best of luck to the kid.
EDIT: Seems he had an injury of some sort that limited his practice time, which obviously may have influenced this decision.

Yeah, showing up to camp with freezer burn on his foot and being unable to practice pretty much killed his chances of making the roster. Nice work, Nike!

That makes me a sad panda. At least we have Morris to root for in the NBA. Plus Juwan Howard seems like he's got another 20 years in him.
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:39 PM ^
That seems like such a fake story. Freezer burn. Seriously?
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:41 PM ^
That is a very bizarre sounding injury.
December 22nd, 2011 at 5:05 PM ^
Nonsense. A waste of money. Just use a ziplock freezer bag and a straw to suck out all the air before you zip it up all the way and it works just as good (except when it doesn't). However, I wouldn't recommend this method for taking air out of large vacuum storage bags. Will cause a fainting spell or 3.

I can actually picture Charlie Kelly doing this to preserve his river crabs.
Those food savers actually are worth the money if you are a hunter or a fisherman. I still have lots of tuna and yellowtail in my freezer from this past summer.

Didn't Michael Scott burn his foot on a Forman grill? Maybe Manny just iced it too long.
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:47 PM ^
It's absolutely true. Sad...but true. Already being listed by the daily dime as one of the most bizarre sports injuries of the year.

The Cavs like him so if he heals up there is a very good chance they'll take him back if and when somebody else goes down.
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
I got news for you Mr. Brown. You may think I am shit now but every time I pitch against you. I am going to stick the ball up your fucking ass!
December 22nd, 2011 at 5:02 PM ^
Proly not.....
My guess is that he went out saying
No...I'm serious I've got freezer burn on my foot. NO....I'm NOT KIDDING...I've got fucking freezer burn. Why is everybody laughing? Like you guys have never gotten freezer burn on your feet before. THIS IS NOT FUNNY - would you guys please stop laughing?
Please?

I thought freezer burn was something that happened to frozen food, not to (living) human beings
December 22nd, 2011 at 5:02 PM ^
If Corperrayle didn't leave prematurely, we probably don't have the (unexpectedly) good season we had last year as he, not D-Mo, probably would have dominated the ball. Of course, we might still have an under the radar D-Mo on the roster...and maybe Trey Burke wouldn't be talked about as a possible early entry right now. Manny Harris decision is still having repercussions around here, crazyness.
December 22nd, 2011 at 5:19 PM ^
Not trying to be a downer, I didn't say they were all negative repercussions! Just my opinion, but I don't think the team would have been as good with him last year as they were without him, and I'm not sure Trey isn't going to be the best of them all by the time all is said and done.
December 22nd, 2011 at 5:07 PM ^
to good old fashioned frostbite?
Is freezer burn anything like brain freeze?
Life gets more complicated everyday.
December 22nd, 2011 at 5:29 PM ^
He was "icing" his foot in some kind of high tech "cooling chamber" at the Nike campus while working out there before training camp began.
Nike should be preparing the settlement money now, as Manny's contract was not guaranteed, and this undoubtedly cost him an NBA minimum contract.
December 22nd, 2011 at 5:18 PM ^
Hopefully the stadium will stop putting the Block M on the video boards when they want the hometown fans to boo.
December 22nd, 2011 at 5:31 PM ^
It's made me stop being a Cavs and Browns fan. Which has actually been helpful, because they suck out loud.
December 22nd, 2011 at 5:41 PM ^
Cut from the worst team in the league.
December 22nd, 2011 at 5:59 PM ^
He didn't play for the pistons........
December 22nd, 2011 at 6:09 PM ^
Expect an invite from me shortly...
December 22nd, 2011 at 9:05 PM ^
The worst team in the league last year and may be close to the same this season.
December 22nd, 2011 at 6:27 PM ^
At least he has his degree to fall ba--- oh wait.
December 22nd, 2011 at 7:11 PM ^
He should land somewhere. The kid can play in the NBA, and young guys will be in hot demand given the compressed timeframe of the season and the need to have guys who can play 66 games in a couple of months.
December 22nd, 2011 at 7:32 PM ^
Is he will go play overseas. We can all hoke he does good and comes back to revive the pistons.
