Boogie to NOLA (1 Viewer)

[Summed7]

Boom or Bust.

Hoping for the best, but my man did not look elated once he learned of the trade.

Just sayin'.

Not sure how much you study Boogie's facial expressions but that's like a 9.5/10 on the happiness scale. To be fair, he loses 30 mil bc of the designated-veteran-player contract extension. That's gotta sting a little.

Not to mention it was a pretty crappy way to let it all play out:

DeMarcus Cousins Trade: Kings Tenure Ends In Chaos | SI.com


It’s not surprising that an organization in Sacramento’s position would decide that it was time to part ways with Cousins. But that the Kings would do it like this—without warning or regard for the All-Star Game, with Cousins thrown to the media slaughter and under a gigantic microscope, and after such a long and strained relationship—is inexplicable and patently unprofessional. It’s not clear whether the Kings were trying to humiliate Cousins or if they were simply continuing a years-long pattern of incompetent management, but they couldn’t have sold out their franchise player any harder if they had tried. Really, how could this have been worse? If owner Vivek Ranadive had announced the trade on a Facebook Live video midway through the third quarter?

Cousins is far from blameless. He’s never come close to sniffing the playoffs, he leads the league in technical fouls and arguments with officials, his mood swings are legendary, and he’s 26 now, far too old to still be stuck in his same old immature ways. But no employee deserves to find out his fate in such a back-handed and embarrassing manner, especially when reports indicated Sunday that his agent had received repeated assurances that he would remain in Sacramento.

Less than six weeks ago, Cousins sat at his locker in Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center and mused at the possibility of signing a five-year maximum extension to remain in town. Sunday, he was on the wrong end of Ranadive’s version of “The Decision.” Instead of airing on ESPN from a pristine Boys & Girls Club in Connecticut, the Kings dragged Cousins into a reality show setup that even E! executives would deem too trashy and demeaning.

That's what they are hoping. With AD and him being close to home and all. Plus if they upset the Warriors in the 1st round why wouldn't he want to stay?

He is signed w us until after next season

Small-market teams have to make bold moves. There's no guarantee they were even going to be able to re-sign Holliday.

We'll see what happens, at least the Pels are in the news!

He didn't look happy at first, then the agent leaned in and told him the trade didn't involve AD then his demeanor changed completely.

Where did you see the AD part?

Boogie and the Brow shirts about to fly off the shelf. Love the trade. I know there is no guarantee he will sign with the Pels but they have the advantage. If they can get some consistency and string some wins and get the eight seed, it will be Cousins first time. Next year with some guard acquisitions they could easily compete for spot 4 or 5. Plus if he doesn't sign with Pels he could leave up to 40 million on the table. AD and Zcousins or good friends and AD can go back to playing PF and will keep him happy.

He didn't look happy at first, but he was quick to flash a smile talk about loving New Orleans.

That interview occurred before the trade was announced. He was being informed about the main trade rumors, which included New Orleans.

Boogie is gonna cost around 200 million to keep. It's a gamble I would take. Warriors have got to be sweating knowing they will face that front court in the playoffs (I'm assuming the Pelicans overtake the Nuggets now)

I heard its down 30 to 170 million because of the trade.

It's a joke.

My reaction when I picked up my phone this morning:

Right!

Not sensing much excitement from Boogie, hopefully that will change, but I get that he's still in shock...
