Quote:TMD may or may not have made that up. But the publicly stated reason can be a lot different from the real reason. Your link does not refute TMD's claim.

Funny how the scout appears to be completely unaware that there was any concern with Jimmy Smith's hands and he was a guy in the organization at the time.

 

There wasn't a publicly stated reason. Have you ever heard a coach come out and say that about a player after final cuts? No, because they don't.They say something PC and wish the player luck.

 

If you look at what the media had to say after the cut, it was considered a surprise cut and a head scratcher. No reason was ever given by Kotite at least with the media. Considering TMD was very unlikely to be privy to information not shared with the rest of the world, you can only conclude it was a fabrication.
