I heard that it was "only" a $40,000,000 difference. But big money either way for him. Maybe the change of scenery is good for him but we haven't seen any indication that he's got an alternative Boogie waiting to come out and play nice.
I haven't watched them enough to know if AD is someone that can lead a team and get him to fall in line. I agree with you that Gentry does not seem like the guy to make this work. Especially if things start to get dicey.
It's not that. They literally just built a new arena in Sacramento, they aren't leaving anytime soon. This is all about Vivek Ranadive and his penis envy for the Warriors. They drafted Stauskas because Vivek thought he was the new Curry. They traded for Hield because Vivek thinks he's the new Curry. Rumor is that Vivek finally acquiesced to trading Cousins when Cousins cussed out a group of Warriors fans in the stands after a game against them. You can't make that up
Who is saying that? I would want him but get why we wanted to keep Ingram ...Lakers better be right about Ingram. But at the moment I understand why they held firm.Lakers
thats what you ing get for being trolls... don't ing play it off and say glad he didn't come LOL gtfotta here
My understanding pelic as ns can only offer an Extra year no super max like Davis got ...
I think you're right.
Per ESPN:
Cousins, 26, would have been eligible to sign a five-year, $209 million extension with the Kings this summer had he stayed in Sacramento and has spoken openly for weeks about his desire to spend his entire career there, despite the club's decadelong playoff drought.
^^^^
both correct.
Here is a summary from a Yahoo write on the $$ subject and what teams may have been thinking:
<Part of the reason for the Cousins market being dry is that since he is traded, Cousins is no longer eligible for the “designated player” supermax deal, and the difference between what the team that has his Bird rights in 2018 can offer and what other teams can offer is not that great. Which is to say, a lot of teams think they can take a swing at Cousins as a free agent in two summers if they really want him, and they don’t have to give up assets to get him.>
Appears the Kings may have gotten much better offers for Cousins before the 2017 season started.
Quite a screw up. I don't if it's Vlade or moreso the dumb owner.
Vlade said they even had a better offer 2 days ago.
Agreed, the key now is Jrue Holliday, he simply has to stay healthy. He is the type of PG that can feed both big men in the paint. If that's well covered, Boogie will be happy which translate into winning, and Davis back playing PF means less injury risk & wear-tear. All of those is great recipe to be the new contender out of the west.
Holy crap. If true
While the deal was never finalized, reports had the Lakers offering both their first round picks that year, which became D'Angelo Russell (No. 2) and Larry Nance Jr. (27th), plus a few other pieces.
Kings owner Vivek Ranadive shot the deal down then — as he did with every deal until Sunday night. thanks
Jrue Holiday is a damn good defender from the PG position and 6'5" to boot; he can competently guard Curry or Thompson at least to a degree. They truly have no answer for the other one and no one who can guard Durant (who can win that series by himself, most likely).
wtf is this giberrish?
lol 30k+ posts and can't type a coherent sentence.
There is a 1% chance that NO can beat GS (they have to make the playoffs first). But this is the first season and they have two mega high-usage players now which always takes time.
But the problems GS has with skilled bigs is not a joke. Almost every loss they have this year (very few) have come at the hands of skilled bigs. GS has a Death Star like weakness. Its not big and odds are they destroy the universe but big men are the only way they can be beaten.
It's why SA stayed big with LMA/Pau. GS has no one that can guard Boogie/AD at all. Durant will be worn the out and as great as Draymond is, there is only one of him.
They will likely have to double a lot and that is the right call with the lack of shooting on NO at the moment. However, Boogie/AD can both pass and beat doubles and spread the floor. It will be interesting to say the least.
Their odds are definitely better than 1% since GS' depth situation is even worse. Obviously a lot depends on how well Boogie and Brow mesh together, but even if the cohesion won't really be there yet they'll have a solid 25% shot to get it done (especially when you consider GS' choking habits and the fact one of Davis/Cousins will be on the floor at all times to attack the rim). Pels also have DMo whose already slain Curry once before...
The Pelicans have zero chance against the warriors...Silly boys.
I will stick with 1%. 0% implies a sweep. 1% to me implies they have the talent to exploit GS weaknesses and make things a little tough but definitely not enough to take 4 games.The Pelicans have zero chance against the warriors...Silly boys.
It's not going to be easy chasing the Nuggets even if they're only two games up the standings. I think they have the 6thh best record in 2017 in the west...better than OKC. IIRC.
They're winning more than losing.
Top 5 offense since they committed to jokic
For sure, but the thing with Denver to watch is the trade deadline. They have been rumored to be interested in moving Faried, Gallo, Wilson and they already moved Nurkic. Them losing depth could hurt them but we will see. They have played well and do have some young talent to replace those possibly leaving.
They have three games left against the Nuggets luckily (with two in NO iirc). If they win all three they'll take it especially if the Nuggets trade Chandler/Gallinari/Barton/etc.
I see.
Take my opinion like a grain of salt. Truthfully, I haven't even watched an entire NBA game in years. Most of what I say on here I just pull out of my buttcheeks.
*with a grain of salt
dang it
Which is better than 95% of this place tbh. Glad you're back to posting my dude.
I believe there is this DPA max 5 yrs/209 which I not an option. There is normal max 5/179 for teams with bird rights. UFA can sign 5/139 with other team. I read somewhere that is the case
Why did the Maloofs sell the team? Anyone follow the Kings enough to know?
Cousins' agent is absolutely clueless tbh.
