At this point, Alivodic is still a marginally better option than what we have on the bench. Unless he has an amazing 9(?) games to round out the season, I can't see his stay in Newy continuing.
Id personally give him half the time if that. He hasn't impressed so far, and if he doesn't impress in the next few games and we know we aren't keeping him around Id rather start Cooper instead knowing he'll be here next season
