(David Griffin) Lakers will get Demarcus Cousins plus one of either Bron, PG or Kawhi

Hmm...

Well, I guess we get to see where his loyality lies, to his team(mates) or west coast lifestyle.
Makes sense...LBJ and Cousins now. Maybe try to lure Davis next year with a forced trade after a Pelicans early playoff exit. Or George finally signs after his 1 + 1 with OKC. Then Leonard signs after leaving the Celtics next summer.
Yeah I don’t believe that one. That’s a bit of a reach.
Assuming Cousins is even healthy enough to play this season.
Smart money says that if Boogie leaves then AD won’t be far behind him.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
I listened to the show this morning and it didn't come out like that. The question was if you had to predict what will happen this off-season. And that is what he was predicting.
Griffin was asked where he thought the top FAs would end up. He said he would guess Cousins and one other star (out of LBJ, PG13 and Kawhi) would end up in LA. However, he said he had no inside info.
Just as the OP stated it was only his opinion.
Howard Beck, in referencing David Griffin's gut call about Lakers chasing Cousins + 1 FA stud on Sirius XM, doesn't see it likely. He's focused on Dallas and DeAndre Jordan. If that marriage happens, New Orleans has good chance of giving DeMarcus a smart incentive-laden contract.

Does smart money turn down the super max?Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
Depends how bad he wants to win.
Kwahi does, chance to play on super team with Cuz, Kwahi, PG13, Bron, or just three of them in LA is worth the difference in endorsements.
Boogie isn't gonna play until Christmas at the earliest. So yeah go to LA.
I'm giving Boogie about 25% chance of staying here.
TBH, I'm not that sad. Give Niko the money you were gonna give DeMarcus, isn't he basically a better defending less offensive Cousins anyway?
I honestly believe that gentry don't want cousins back...gentry had a taste of his small ball game with Niko and AD and he looked like a happy man on the sidelines lol..
Does he want to win?
Does he want to be like other stars and take less pay (while still a lot) and go win a title?
AD seems like a level headed guy, he will do what’s right for his legacy.
And so will this franchise...
I mean this is just, no. No. Not at all.
Can we stop saying this? There's absolutely no reason to think Boogie is going to miss big chunks of next year, regardless of where he ends up.
Basketball.
We need Boogie. I'm telling you it's in our best interest basketball-wise to have him. His shooting, rebounding, ball handling are much needed. I would rather make him adapt to fast pace style of play, with the flexibility to play at a slower pace if needed. In the NBA its all about matchups. Teams can't matchup to us with them big boys up front
So we're back to we don't need him again? Lol ******** wow tho board is so bipolar

I’m indifferent about any of this, but I do find it funny that people here are willing to pack Boogie’s bags for him.
Yup this.
