Leferd Posted February 20, 2017 Author Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Boogie. Lols. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources-kings-agree-to-trade-demarcus-cousins-to-pelicans-050000759.html After promising DeMarcus Cousins privately and publicly that he wouldn’t be moved prior to Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, the Sacramento Kings unloaded the three-time All-Star center to the New Orleans Pelicans, league sources told The Vertical. New Orleans will send guard Buddy Hield, 2017 first- and second-round picks, and guards Tyreke Evans and Langston Galloway to Sacramento for Cousins and forward Omri Casspi, league sources told The Vertical. The Kings simply decided that they no longer wanted to let Cousins’ volatility dictate the culture of the locker room, league sources said. In recent weeks, majority owner Vivek Ranadive had become more open to the front office’s willingness to trade Cousins, passing on the commitment to the $209 million extension this summer, league sources said. Cousins’ uneven behavior in recent weeks chipped away at Ranadive’s resolve to keep him, and he started to listen more closely to the front office’s push to trade him for assets and rebuild, sources said. Two incidents in particular — an expletive-laced remark Cousins made about Golden State after Sacramento’s overtime win over the Warriors on Feb. 6 and a 17th technical foul, resulting in a one-game suspension, against New Orleans on Feb. 12 — caused Ranadive to have serious concerns about tethering the franchise to Cousins long term.

Guard Dog Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Do you guys realize Gonzaga is just two wins away from a perfect regular season. But they are still predicted to be the 4th seed in two weeks. That bang you just heard was Volo's head exploding. Too bad! We can talk college hoops here too with selection sunday just two weeks away!

Leferd Posted February 20, 2017 Author Posted February 20, 2017 Grant Napear, Sacramento's longtime TV/Radio PBP announcer on Boogie: Trading DMC was an absolute no brainer! There has been a dark cloud over this franchise for years! That cloud is now gone! 24,22,28,28,29,33 and 24 this season. That's the # of wins with Cousins! It was time to move into another direction! Period! And here's maybe the most important thing. Most of Cousin's teammates the past 7 years hated playing with him! That is a fact! Ouch. How long has he kept that under wraps? My pet NBA schadenfreude is hoping DMC never gets to experience playing one playoff minute.

Hurlshort Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I am a bit worried about this turning the Pelicans into a powerhouse.
Inyourprime Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 It can definitely turn into something, but they just don't have the guard play to match top teams in the west right now. KD at the 4 and Dray at the 5, they'd get bounced... if they get the 8th seed. But who knows, they probably just need someone capable running point and those two alone can vault them to the 2nd round. What I'd like to know is who pulled the trigger on this deal. It's so bad.
Leferd Posted February 20, 2017 Author Posted February 20, 2017 New Orleans has a nice solid core with AD, Boogie, and Jrue Holiday...and not much after that. I don't know if it's enough to put them over Denver, Portland, Dallas, and Minnesota but it can work out...or blow up in their face - given Boogie's volatility. Vlade and Vivek are getting a lot of heat for the move, but it's logical for the Kings. Rudy Gay is out for the year and likely won't re-sign. Sacramento's chances of getting into the playoffs are dwindling and do they really want to give Cousins $209 million over 5 years when the most he's ever won with the team in seven years is 33 wins? Boogie was just bad for the culture of that team. Both need a fresh start. That said, I like Buddy Hield and this allows Joerger to free Willie Cauley-Stein. Plus, more run for Skal Labissiere.

Inyourprime Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I haven't seen Buddy play much. Some local blowhard kept comparing him to Jimmy Fredette but any comparisons to him is a stretch if I haven't seen him much to make such a comparison.
Leferd Posted February 20, 2017 Author Posted February 20, 2017 You mean the Jimmer Fredette who dropped 73 for the Shanghai Sharks Sunday night? http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18718056/jimmer-fredette-scores-73-chinese-league-game "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Inyourprime Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Oh of course he had a big game while all this was happening. Yep. That'd be him. Even saw on twitter Vivek saying he saw Steph Curry in Hield. Heh, we'll see. Gonna make a point to watch a few kings games to see what he's about.
Leferd Posted February 20, 2017 Author Posted February 20, 2017 Bigger than Jimmer and not really a combo guard but I'd say Seth would be a more apt comparison, if you're comparing him to one of Dell's progeny. Hield was fantastic at OSU as college hoops player. He's slightly undersized as a 2 but a deadly as a spot up shooter. He can strive to be Ray Allen, but he's got a shot at being JJ Redick (though not as good a shooter).

Guard Dog Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 F-----g Grizzlies. When you play a bad team you are supposed to beat them. Especially with the season winding down. There is just a 7 game difference between the 2nd & 7th seeds in the West. Forget first, GSW has already run away with that. The problem with the Grizzlies is they play to the level of their competition. They go out a dominate Denver and Phoenix then lose to the Pacers, Mavs and Pelicans. Unless you are playing the Nets you don't get a night off in the NBA. Every team can beat you.
