DeMarcus Cousins? {merged}

[boardtown]

Maybe this was some sort of karma for the Lakers trading Vlade to the Hornets for Kobe?

The real justice will come from the double secret tank. Boogie sets an NBA record for technical fouls, hence missing all sorts of games. AD misses the last two weeks, and a depleted roster fails to make the playoffs. Then the Pels win the lottery and Vlade has to wait until next year to bring home the rest of the bacon.

Kobe was a six time champion and all time great. There's a lot of karma built up to cash in here.

I read he'll join the team tomorrow. Not sure what that does for his availability Thursday but he'll be in the building tomorrow.

(Worth noting: It was also during this time that Ranadive wanted Sacramento to experiment with playing 4-on-5 defense, leaving one King on the other end to cherry-pick for baskets.)

I feel sorry for that franchise. I think Benson knows more basketball than the Kings owner does. And that is scary.

Divac: "We had better offers two days ago"

And in 2 days those offers just completely died? So you had to accept the Pelicans one?

He really said this. Wow.

Was listening to ESPN NOLA with Gus Kattengell and he brought up some interesting points. Between Davis and Cousins, who will be the Alpha? Will it be AD's team or Cousin's team? Can Cousins take a backseat after being the centerpiece in Sacramento? When it comes down to the final shot, who takes it?

Why can't it be "their" team? As long as they are winning, does it matter? Instead of Batman and Robin it can be Batman and Superman. Throw in some fillers to complete the justice league

[PolishFan]

What about Casspi? Is he injured? if so how seriously? will he play? last time he became a pelican he didnt play a second

TBH I think Cousins will ultimately be the vocal leader long-term and hopefully whoever is coaching can instill a sense of giving the last shot to the hot hand, not allow a situation where it becomes a point of contention to develop.

Now, Pelicans need a SG and a PG, what about Nicolás Laprovittola (a 6'4 PG of the Argentina national team)? He was with the Spurs till Dejonte Murray's ascent. He's now in Baskonia of the Spanish League but I think he has a clause to go free to NBA. http://www.pelicansreport.com/showth...t=laprovittola

Why do we need a PG?
Jrue Holiday is more than good enough to be our PG

Make big easy that's great. Might have to grab one

Forget about the Splash Brothers. Pels got the Super Smash Brothers.

That is awesome. Thursday cannot get here soon enough!

[Impose]

I think the ball will go through Holiday > Cousins > Davis, in that order for a lot of possessions. Cousins will eventually be seen as the 'ball stopper' but it will be more effective than what we had.

Cousins being the second facilitator will be pretty nice and resolve a lot of the spacing concerns people have. But I can only speculate, not sure what the offense will look like when its implemented.

Favorite thing I read today from the ringer...

The Winner
Make no mistake: The Kings got fleeced. Hield is a rookie shooting guard (a 23-year-old rookie, at that) who has a pretty obvious ceiling as a useful spot-up shooter. Sacramento has already ridden the Tyreke Evans roller coaster. That Pelicans first-rounder might not be that attractive if Cousins and Anthony Davis go full Godzilla-Mothra on the Western Conference.

Godzilla-Mothra lol

Just some YouTuber that I subscribe to. He does NBA videos that are usually pretty entertaining. He's already done a couple on AD and how he is a NBA God, etc. this video was REALLY entertaining to watch.

So is it even possible for us to land pg13 next offseason?

[Gilles]

Signing PG outright is not an option, unless you get JRue, Solo and Asik completely off the payroll. It will have to be an S&T, but Pacers will most likely trade him in the summer 2017, if he told them, he's leaving or "testing" FA, to a team, that would expect to re-sign him. Pacers still hold 35% contract card. Let's see, if they think, he's worth that.
