Lakers guard Quinn Cook thought Warriors wanted him back next season

The Warriors extended a $1.9 million qualifying offer to Quinn Cook on June 29, which made him a restricted free agent. But when Golden State agreed to terms on the sign-and-trade that sent Kevin Durant to Brooklyn and D'Angelo Russell to the Dubs, Cook's offer had to be rescinded because him signing it would have sent the Warriors over the "hard cap" or "tax apron." In the end, the 6-foot-2 guard signed a two-year contract with the Lakers that will pay him $3 million annually (with $1 million guaranteed in 2020-21).
