With the Warriors navigating difficult financial straits, Cook's tenure with the club is effectively over.

Pulling the Quinn Cook $1.9M QO was a necessity because of the $138.9M tax apron. Even with Shaun Livingston off the roster, GSW is restricted to signing only both second-round picks and one minimum contract. With 14 players under contract, GSW would be $215K below the apron.

In the 2018-2019 season, Cook averaged 6.9 points, 2.1 rebounds in 74 games, while shooting 40.5 percent from the arc. 

HoopsHype writer Alex Kennedy, reported Cook has interest from the Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards.
