I, like many, tend to think Cousins can be a superstar and was a bit disappointed we did not get to see him on the Celtics for what was a low price we could have easily matched. That being said, if Cousins goes to Pelicans and a team with him, AD (a fellow superstar) and Holiday (a tick below all-star level) and a few average rotation players will you view him as less of a superstar? Will you be less disappointed we don't have him?

For me, if he can't get that team into the playoffs over severely flawed teams like Portland and Denver?

Side note: It will be the greatest story of the season and Sacramento makes the playoffs without him over the pelicans...

I think most players get a pass until their first full season with the new team. It wouldn't be fair to apply a different standard to Cousins.

Have you looked at the Pelicans' roster? They have three star players and a bunch of relative nobodies. They start E'twan Moore and Solomon Hill.  Their coaching staff stinks, too.

I don't expect the Pelicans to make the playoffs this year.

The only thing that would make me upset (with regards to the Pelicans) is if Gentry is still coaching them next year.  It's one thing to waste the prime of one franchise big man, but if he does it with two I will be very upset

Only if Cousins implodes and that is the reason.  If they just can't catch Denver or Portland (or Dallas catches them), then no.

I'm not upset now.  They also won't make the playoffs next season.

What will be interesting is if the Kings actually make the playoffs this season, after trading Boogie.  If they're able improve in their standings with him gone, that will go a long way to confirming the "Boogie Tax" is a real thing.  I'm on the fence, currently, as to whether it's true, although I'm beginning to lean that way.

Still was a good trade for them. What could be another bust pick in Hield got flipped for the best bigman in the game. You telling me he couldn't have convinced VIvec that Jaylen is a boy in a man's body? That Bradley is a known better shooter than buddy and young enough to get better? That the PGs at the top of this draft all have All star potential and you need one in the West? Like what was the obsession with Buddy stinkin' Hield.

It was fun to see the Pelicans lose and the Kings win on their first night back but that's not a sign of a trend.

Denver has been good for a while now. If the Pelicans lose out on the playoffs this season it's not going to mean much. If the Pelicans struggle next season, that situation is going to get real interesting real fast.

But I didn't really want Boogie on the Celtics, regardless.

I hope they mesh enough to make the playoffs and give the Warriors fits down low.

If people on this board are upset/happy over what happens to the Pelicans they should stop coming to Celticsblog.com.

This.

So far, they don't look good but it's only one game.

They need to seriously fix / upgrade their perimeter defense, though.

Makes me SO GLAD we have Marcus, Jae and AB coming back soon.
