Boogie Cousins Traded To The Pelicans.

[CHOPTALK]

It's not going to matter but how does Sacramento agree to the 2017 1st rounder being top 3 protected? Amazing.

Its almost tempting to tank the rest of the season to get that top 3 pick

This was the most lopsided trade in NBA history.
I challenge anyone to find a more lopsided trade on paper then this ever.
All
of a sudden New Orleans is 1 player away from being the #2 seed in the west .

Prime Barkley for Hornacek, Tim Perry and Andrew Lang was also incredible.

Hah, I like it. Great way to get a stud guard.

Now people are talking Westbrook coming .
Apparently he and AD good friends

Ya, there's a lot of rumors out there about AD and Russ wanting to team up. That's probably a couple years away though with Russ signing an extension and NO already using it's assets to acquire Cousins.

Boogie on Bourbon St. is like a gambler in a sportsbook.

I don't understand where the "he's a gang banging thug" narrative comes from.

The problem with Cousins is whether or not he can learn to control his emotions on the basketball side of things.

 

[CHOPTALK]

There is a bourbon st in every NBA city .
i don't know why everyone thinks bourbon st is so special

 

[CHOPTALK]

I think we can safely say NO and GS are the only 2 teams in the NBA with 2 top 10 players

Interested to see how this works. Obviously a steal trade for NO.....can't figure if this makes them a factor in the west. I would guess yes.

Philly also a big winner in this trade. Great shot at #1 pick now (either with their own pick or swap with Sacramento) and still have Sacramento's 2019 1st.

Also, watch the Kings buyout Tyreke Evans who will end up in Cleveland as the "playmaker" Lebron's been asking for.

Sixers will be legit contenders soon....I hope. Interesting to see what Bens got.

It still pisses me off that they didn't let Lord Hinkie see this through.

I dunno.....the despair around the team and in the arena......was downright scary when Hinkie was there in his last season. I'm glad he went.

Fans are impatient but the guy stockpiled assets and it's paying off.

He did but he kinda fucked up the Okafur thing. I think they got impatient for good reason.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Do the pelicans have the best starting front court in NBA history?

 

[MantisToboggan]

He did but he kinda fucked up the Okafur thing. I think they got impatient for good reason.

Hinkie didn't want Okafor. Actually, I should say there were reports that ownership pressured Hinkie to take Okafor because the fan base would've lost it had they taken an unknown Euro.
