He played hard in the finals. I would give him a shot. I doubt Pop wants to deal with him though. OMG could you picture him in the coffee gang
Nope. Set-off in the NBA is half of all the money you earn over the min. So if for example a guy gets a deal for $5.5M, his previous team would save $[(5.5-2.5)/2]M=$1.5M
But Pau agreed to a buyout, and that almost always includes the releasing team's waiver of set-off rights. Mostly likely, whatever Gasol gets this year, SA doesn't save a cent.
That may seem dumb for them to give up set-off rights for only $1.8Mish in savings, but they weren't likely to save a cent this summer had they waited until now to just release Pau. He's almost certainly going to get a min deal if that, and that would mean zero set-off. PATFO did an okay job getting a bit back by moving Pau early. Saving grace.

I'd be all for it too. He could finally play on a winning team with a good system and culture. Pop can handle him and teach him how to be a winner. We took on Rudy when he was considered a cancer, why not Boogie
Uhhh he just did. He was a net negative for the Warriors
Maybe they're trying to pick a team for Cousins to sign with/DeRozan to be traded to?
Real-talk: The talent infusion would be nice, and because of the limited money SA has, they literally can't sign Cousins to a deal that would hurt them. I'm not sure if he fits, but he could probably help a team in the right roll if he ever gets his head on straight.
Remember when Boogie wanted to fight Sean Elliott? Good times.
Boogie is a huge got tbh. Wouldn't mind him but he could easily derail a season if his toxicity spreads in the locker room. Not sure Pop would want a player like Boogie rubbing off on our young players.
Cousins coming to Spurs would make me forget nephew. Lakers would have a depleted team even if they get nephew. 7 games Spurs beat them. Come on RC/Pop.
He looks like he would type cast in a Russian prison movie. Beyond that he rolls to the basket well and could be a rim protector if refs don't call cheep fouls on him.
Cousins f'n sucks.
What good is it for a player to reach out to a free agent if the FO is not trying themselves? All joking aside, he'd easily be the best C on the team. An upgrade imho..
maybe timmy / david could help cousins mature... not sure if he’s had big men of that caliber have influence on him in his career while with other organizations.
He's a grownass man. Nobody is going to change who he is at this point.
Hed be a good tool to have in the box. Alot of solid teams have a solid big man.
I posted a day or so ago that I actually wouldn't mind Cousins. He has to get 100% healthy though. He won't demand a lot money because of his recent injuries and his performance somewhat so if you can get him for cheap, why not?
What else do spurs fan want lol DMC was fine last year before he got hurt in the playoffs, he’s not the same guy he was on the kings but anyways I’m sure he ends up back with GSW
I would love Cousins on the Spurs
I mean it’d be super low risk...
Cousins only hope at decent money is with the lakers so he’s waiting out kahwi’s decision as well...
This.
I wouldnt mind Boogie on the Spurs, but he has to be waiting for Lakers.
Do Rudy and Boogie have a good relationship?
What happened to Boogie's outside shot? He was a lot better potential fit when that was falling.
To be fair with DMC, he's being nice lately.
I won't mind him for a decent deal - who knows, it might be a high reward.
