Pelicans Considering Offering DeMarcus Cousins Shorter-Term Contract

[Easy-E]

There is a reason he has never played in a playoff game.He is like the NBA version of Brandon Marshall .Extremely talented,physical besst but not a winner

No, because the Kings enabled him since he was 19.

He's had zero problems in New Orleans

Ball stopper.
Locker room virus.
Career loser.
Coach killer.

Pels don't need him.

none of this is true in New Orleans

hes never played in a playoff game because he was on the fukking kings

I lived to see the Kobe debacle.....

Achilles Injury=Done

Kobe was 10 years older than he was, of course it was over. Boog still young

 

[Wargames]

This is the equivalent of saying "he can just leave".

So I'm assuming Cousin's and PG on the Lakers......

Cousins helped them get here before he got hurt, he only been gone a couple months

This made up ass story

 

[intra vires]

Rudy Gay has played well this year

I think the surgical technique has improved

I hope you're right but I feel like he'll end up like Elton Brand

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Yeah and ...I'm sure he could have been a better team leader on Kings. We can make all excuses for him but bottom line it is what it is

 

[Left.A1]

Pels are playing this right. If they look good against the Warriors they might just let Boogie walk and go after a wing or two in the off season

With what money?



Why do nikkas NEVER understand that there is a salary cap in the NBA ... this isn’t NBA 2k you can’t just go sign anywhere you want at anytime you want ... you nikkas in here talking about he should just go to the Knicks Nets etc etc etc ... nikka HOW? Jesus Christ if you like the nba you can at least have a semblance of understanding on how the leauge works



Anyways I think this is a dicey situation obviously ... DC not only is a great playerhes REALLY adored by AD you fukk around and let him just walk trying to be overconfident in your recent play and I reason to believe that AD won’t forget something like that when his free agency comes up


If income then I offer him the max just perhaps not a 4 year max like they can and perhaps with some escalators based on games played or all pro teams reached or what have you ...they can get creative like the 6ers did with Embiid ... you just gott hope DC doesn’t get offended ...because we know that nikka emotional

 

[feelosofer]

I don’t blame them and he looks chubbier than usual. You would think he would be on strict diet

That New Orleans food though

 

[Kings County]

Yeah and ...I'm sure he could have been a better team leader on Kings. We can make all excuses for him but bottom line it is what it is

all them nikkas draft is busts

 

[Rigby.]

That’s exactly what I suggested they should do a couple days ago. It sucks for Boogie but it would be the first good franchise move NO has ever made and it gives them leverage

 

[Brozay]

No, because the Kings enabled him since he was 19.

He's had zero problems in New Orleans
none of this is true in New Orleans

He’s definitely still a ball stopper

 

[Easy-E]

I feel bad for him. But i cant be mad at the pelicans
- im sure he can get a max contract from the nets, or orlando magic at this point.
- but the pels would be fools to max him out with the free agent class coming out the next 2 years

We actually don't know this. The team played better after he left and Mirotic came in; the Pels could've easily been the one left on the outside looking in with Denver and the Clippers.

Truthfully I feel we don't need him. Niko is perfect for our system.

Pels are playing this right. If they look good against the Warriors they might just let Boogie walk and go after a wing or two in the off season

These hot takes

He’s definitely still a ball stopper

Hot takes

He was our PG 4 a stretch of games when AD was out

Bringing the ball up and everything

 

[etrofllenrod504]

They're arguably BETTER without him...

Real.....I don't know how many Pels games my dude done watched
