If I remember correctly it had something to do with Casspi's religion. I think the speculation was that Casspi is a very outspoken about his religion and so was Monty. Their religions clashed. So basically it was because he didn't feel he would be good fit in the locker room.Originally Posted by ramsters60

well the lakers just hired magic Johnson as president of basketball operations so yall think that we can get something from the lakers on the cheap lol....
Then who's the point guard?
idk but i think we are in good position for someone to come here or find someone who can do the same as jrue at a lower pay.......if jrue can play at a high level consistently then im good with him...im just worried that once he sign then he will go back to off and on jrue...
That's a lot of hoping and wishing to find a decent pg if we let him walk....I mean look people can say what they want about this deal being made for ad but it was also made to keep jrue I mean you don't take huge step forward then take one back by letting jrue walk that's insane
See you soon @PelicansNBA ! pic.twitter.com/UnjsiCJy12

Boogie on his way
This wasn't about Jrue. Don't you think this franchise instantly became a hot destination now? How hard could it be to convince a top tier player to play with Anthony damn Davis and Demarcus damn Cousins? Plus they were all just here for the all-star game to experience the city during Mardi Gras. I saw a few players and celebs at a parade myself.
I think with Jrue, it's just wait and see. Can he keep his current level of play and health? I highly doubt Dell has crowned Jrue his PG of the future already. This current version of the franchise hasn't done anything to warrant that yet.
The ONLY constant that needs appeasing right now was Anthony Davis.
Ben Epstein made a good point in Limited Upside Podcast at SB Nation.
Vivek loved Buddy. But decision about accepting our offer was probably made during game of rising stars. Where Buddy was playing great.
Also on basketball insiders there was an information that 2nd first rounder was included in Dells offer.
But after Boogie agents rant (that he wont sign extension) DD decided not to give 2019 pick. Cause the risk of Boogie walking is bigger. He gave second rounder instead.
Yeah sure we have but what point guard that's jrues age and is as good or better can we actually get that isn't under contract and from every indication jrue is that point guard of the future every time Dell talks about the team it's we need to get ad and jrue help and we can just agree to disagree on if we made the trade just for ad or for ad and jrue both
This trade was even mentioned in the Polish newspaper I read and they never write about NBA
Sorry, but I couldn't stop myself from facepalming for real. How well someone plays in all-star games doesn't account for anything. They don't even try.
Try telling Vivek that lol
Shutdown ad and cousins and get a top 3 pick and draft fultz or ball and then dominate next year.
That is so brilliant, I would love that. Honestly, wouldn't that be amazing, and then next year come in with talent top to bottom.The trolling would be of historical proportions.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
New Orleans Pelicans sent owners' plane to pick up DeMarcus Cousins and Omri Casspi with GM Del Demps and head coach Alvin Gentry on board

Do you know how hilarious that be not only did we steal cousins but now we keep our first this year and give them the one next year
This is smart on so many levels. Gets us off on the right foot with Boogie. Makes him feel wanted and appreciated. Also gives Gentry 4-5 hours with him, unimpeded, to talk fit and everything else. Wouldn't shock me if AD was also on the flight.
Sorry if this question has already been answered here... but is there any word of an official press conference introducing Cousins to the team scheduled?

Very good move by organization
I'm a grinder
Guys like George Hill and Jeff Teague are going to receive salaries over $20m. That's just new reality. With whole not fully healed leg affair seemingly behind him Jrue is gonna get over $20m as well, maybe even $25m, but with Pels limited resources and capspace all you have left is to prey and think of England. Defense is half the game, and you need as much shooting as possible around Bros, so with both AD and Boogie improving their skillsets over the years you can live with Jrue not being a dominant playmaker.
So you're saying, they sent a plane for Omri, and allowed Boogie to hitch the ride?
You wonder if this could be the "better offer" that Vlade Divac was talking about. Maybe it wasn't a better offer from another team, but a better offer from the Pels until Boogie's agent spoke up.
Yep. Pels were originally okay including 2019 but then his agents got involved and drove down the other offers from everyone, and Dell pulled the 2019 off the table. Which is gutsy. I think people would have even called it a steal with that pick and for him to pull it and not budge is praise worthy
