Pelicans Considering Offering DeMarcus Cousins Shorter-Term Contract

[NOSaintsFan02]

And when have players been lining up to go to Cleveland?

New Orleans > Cleveland

And Bron had plenty of riled up vets lining up to play with him.

 

[UpAndComing]

No problems with what hte Pelicans are doing.

ALso, um *they are better with Davis at the 5*

Fixed

The Pelicans have no leverage. None.

If he walks, we're capped out and can't sign. AD, Jrue and Soloman are maxed out. We may not even be able to keep Niko (next year) or Rondo (this summer).

We are the damn Pelicans. No one is coming here. You keep your damn player.

Max Boogie. Don't be arrogant over one series win in ten years. Dell got lucky with Niko. If Bobby dont rock his jaw, he's prolly is not on the market or goess for more than a pick and bad contract.

Good thing the Pelicans have smarter people than you running the team.

He is coming off of an achilles, there is not guarantee he will every be back at the level he was. Pelicans have all the leverage in the world when you add in most teams simply will be tight on space.

Career loser.
Coach killer.

Pels don't need him.

And your mother never needed to save you from a dried bed sheet either. Y'all nikkas hate Cousins so much

How are they hot takes when they just swept and wiped the floor with the Blazers

1. The Blazers were pretenders--we had the same record basically.
2. People forget the massive change of the roster from last year--that Boogie played half of his Pelicans time with (Eric Gordon, Tyreke Evans, Tony Allen, etc.)
3. The team was getting better when Boogie went down
4. We are not guaranteed to keep Rondo or Niko
5. We have no cap space

People jumping on the "let him walk" team without knowing what's going on with our team, nor our recent history

 

[Rocket Scientist]

all them nikkas draft is busts

I think Fox can be good.Buddy Hield even though not drafted by them can be big part of future

Achilles no joke. Matthews in Dallas a shell of his self. Kobe was never the same.

I got league pass and yeah Boogie was playing well before the injury but you can't max out a guy coming off of a Achilles injury. You just can't and that's far from a hot take. It might not seem right or fair but a player has to prove he can still perform after a devastating injury like that. You guys are on the right track right now. Philly wasn't a destination either. Ya'll kept playing well all that "nobody will come to N.O." talk will be a thing of the past. I'mma really peep this series coming up against GS. If Niko, Rondo, and Holiday ball out like they did against the Blazers go after some wings in the offseason young man.. Ya'll won't be desperate at all to max out Boogie

Gentry and the team love him. Pelicans were the fourth seed when Boogie went down. Stop listening to the agenda driven media heads.

There's smart and there's league business. I find it funny people suggest we let Boogie walk and wait for the FA class of '19. Who coming here?

Our last FA pickup was Soloman Hill and he JUST started playing full minutes 2 games ago

I'd take our chances that achilles surgery has advanced enough. Again, Ronda and Niko may not be here in a year.

@pete clemenza Niko's deal is expiring, but, he's a RFA...AD's deal is done after 19-20

Breh, we could have litterally just Jrue Holiday in two years

I'll take a team of Jrue Holiday, Demarcus Cousins and 3/D guys

Meanwhile, I don't trust this front office to keep making decent pickups...I've been burnt too much.

We ain't Philly, all them on rookie deals

We gassed off one series victory in ten years.

We are capped out and may lose Rondo, then Niko (2 yrs) and now they wanna lowball Boogie.

I'd say fukk that and go 2 the market.

The Pelicans either him or not. Too many paid bums (check Soloman Hills contract) 2try and play him.

If he's gonna play 4 less than the max then go 2 a contender.

u lee saying people gassed off one game bro. Like the season thread we ain’t been saying this since after all star. The offense is flat out better without cousins. As is defense, he has effort issues, cry’s after every play, fails to get back and is a ball stopper.

The team got better once he left, fukk the offs, pels need to ask him if he willing to do a sign and trade if he leaves.

Make whoever take some terrible ass contract like hill.

1 Year Max take it or leave it

Some of these opinions here are

I know damn well the majority of this board wasn't watching Cousins on the Kings. I highly doubt that the majority of folks speaking on Boogie even watched him in New Orleans. Nothing but regurgitated media narratives. I understand not maxing a guy coming off a torn Achilles tho. I really hope Boogie stays in New Orleans. I wanna keep being able to watch him and Anthony Davis play together.

I'd also like to know how a center that averaged 5 assists a game pre injury is a ball stopper.

Look at stats and not games brehs. Cousins was mainly scoring for ISO’s starting behind the 3 line. So he was getting assist but also crazy turnovers. With him out the guards are control the pace and facilitating.

Not saying it’s totally his fault cause early in the season we didn’t have any guards so he had to do that. But when rondo came back he was still doing it also
