Knicks ownership is the worst in the NBA

Kings ownership: "hold my beer"

 

Poor turkey evans

 

Bulls ownership/management is up there with the Knicks. Crazy how two of the biggest markets are ran so badly.

 

I hate being a Knicks fan. Now that I live in Wisconsin its such a good time to become a Bucks fan. I just cant invest my heart

 

This was a trade the Pels obviously couldn't say no to, but I think that these two together might be a disappointment. It's difficult to name a comparitive duo at this point. I really hope it works but I have my doubts.

The other elephant in the room is that there wasn't a better package available for Cousins, and if you've watched him on D this year, that shouldn't be surprising.

The most fascinating part about this trade is that there is no one in the league who compares to Cousins, and to see him in a new situation will tell us a lot more about this Kings implosion over the last few years.

 

The DeMarcus Cousins Trade with Tim Bontemps — Dunc'd On Basketball Podcast — Overcast

 

He's been in over his head since he took the job, but the team just has no direction and keeps digging its own grave. It has been hard to watch.

 

Imagine wanting Okafor a week ago and then ending up with Boogie and all it took was an extra Buddy fuckin Hield

 

so the celtics could've got him for, what, kelly olynyk, terry rozier and a nets pick? thats hilarious. im not that mad about it, but its hilarious

 

The Kings Got Fleeced In The Cousins Trade

 

Cousins got fleeced too - he loses out on $30 mill now

 

Another fun wrinkle is if the Pellies get the 8th seed they'll be a tough out for the Warriors since GSW has no one who can cover good big guys

 

The pelicans own his rights

 

True, but upside for him is that he gets to play with someone better than him, and on a team that has good chances at making the playoffs now, if not this season then for sure next season

 

normally don't like deadspin, but this article gave me lulz

He can't make the $225 million because he doesn't qualify for the designated rights or whatever - pellies can only give him $185 mil

 

Really? Interesting

 

I find it incredibly hard to believe the Kings couldn't do better. They were offered Drummond straight up, they could have easily asked for a pick as well and the Pistons probably would have done it.

 

As a Pistons fan, I would've done Drummond for Cousins in a heartbeat and thrown in a pick, I'm surprised they thought this offer was better.

 

It would take significant work to fuck up the situation the Sixers are in right now.

With Kings' unprotected 2019 pick, Sixers' future assets the envy of the NBA

 

Well the colanfelos didn't do that well for the raptors

 

Prepare the hot take cannon ...

The Winner of the DeMarcus Cousins Trade Isn't Who You Think It Is

Actually, there could be something to this. Only time will tell.

 

i feel like the only okafor supporter, sure he doesn't know the defensive aspect of the game yet, but hes only 21. hopefully he gets put in a situation where he can get quality time on the floor and not be involved in a logjam situation in the front court like in philly.

 

INVEST

 

I mean the Raptors had to give up Terrence Ross and a first for Serge Ibaka lol
