2019 Offseason Thread

Not really if you are factoring money into it.
Lakers wasted 3.5.
Cavs are wasting 15M.

Not only that, wasn't your claim to fame on him that he was an 'iron man' and great teammate?

Since then he's missed 68 games the last 2 seasons and I believe turned the locker room into a reality show.

TT makes 18.5 million next season.

yep...to play solid D and probably provide a double double per game....cousins will make 3.5 to provide what you will to the team.

 

[WiggyRuss]

What did I ever do to you? LOL.

not saying you should block anyone....but i will tell you from personal experience, while i do not, as a practice, think blocking people is a good way to go about things- certain scumbags (like the 2 i have blocked) kind of force your hand...and i gotta tell ya--- havent regretted it once, lol.

 

[DJ]

Because I don't like you

Damn, poor Boogie.

Hopefully nothing too serious.

Sources: Lakers' Cousins hurts knee, having tests

That's how he tore it?

Fuck me sidewayz.

Boogie's career has been in freefall since the Kings dealt him.

i think everyone raised an eyebrow when Cousins signed a 1 year 3.5M dollar deal this offseason. I think its now clearer than ever that most teams did not trust the medicals and the likelihood that he would stay healthy.

 

[dtgold88]

Is that as opposed to all the torn ACLs in the shoulder we hear about (realize wasn't your comment, mecca...but shams gave me a laugh)

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

You think if they had the money to spend LA would not return cousins to sender and sign TT if it was only Cousins or TT?

For 3.5K TT would have been safer bet, but he cost 5x that much, which they didn’t have.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

TT has been healthy most of his career and is a near automatic double double. A bargain in today's NBA at his price.

Last 2 years not so much.

His size, weight will make it very hard for him to ever come close to being the guy he used to be.

The Lakers just needed him to be 70%.

At 29, that's probably asking way too much.

They better call Monroe, or maybe go small, with a guy like Faried.

Well no doubt. It's a hypothetical. Not only don't they have the money, but if you were not aware TT is also not a FA.

I'm saying if they had the cash they'd have signed TT at $18 mil over Cousins at 3.5

 

[dtgold88]

Last 2 years not so much.

which was why I said majority of his career, as most teams are aware the 5 years prior he missed about a handful of games total. They also know if he was needed last year it's likely he'd have played more games.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I was guesstimating.

So even worse.

I understand majority, but more recent matters.

Correct. You are saying.

Who do you have blocked?

 

[Black Adam]

Who do you have blocked?

me. TWICE now because i don't play his little spin game...

it's cool, though. let him STAY scared...
