Yuck, he's lost any moral high ground he may have had.

Does Luke Walton get hazardous duty pay?  or maybe he gets traded to the Clips for Doc.

Have to guess Mavs would be. They could put him next to DeAndre, or small ball 5 with Dirk/Randle. Might be the worst defensive front court, but lol, it'll be fun to watch.

I think we need to switch around where some players are as far as post numbers go
I'm bitter.

The Lakers standing offer to DeMarcus Cousins is a 1 year deal in the range of $10 million, I’m told.

oh man if they get Cousins for 10mil that is just freaking unfair.

Was going off of your original quote that they presently have $14m in cap. Maybe Boogie takes a 1 year prove it deal with LA. Especially of NO isn't ponying up the money. All things being equal, where'd you rather play? On top of that, Rondo is the Boogie whisperer.

Lol, TP to your Boogie whisperer, I was actually drinking some coffee haha.  :angel:

That would actually be smart for Boogie to do so. Rondo/LBJ will feed him easy shots, but I don't think it would be wise for NO to let both of their free agents walk away like that.

For what it is worth, Davis just bought a house outside of LA.

Quote
New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis has purchased a luxurious new mansion in California.

Per TMZ Sports, Davis spent $7.5 million on a Westlake Village estate that includes a home theater, gym, infinity pool with water slides and a basketball court.

It's a 90-minute drive to Staples Center, where the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers play. The Pelicans don't have much incentive to deal their star forward right now, especially after they just won their first playoff series last season for the first time since 2007-08 (as the Hornets).

Davis is also under contract for three more seasons, so it will likely be a few years before he could even entertain the possibility of playing basketball in Hollywood.

New Orleans made an offer to bring Rondo back, per source, but the Lakers offer was considerably better.

The Los Angeles Lakers are in advanced discussions with free agent C DeMarcus Cousins w/ recruiting help by recently acquired Rajon Rondo. It will come down to Pelicans/Lakers, a source tells me.

So they signed Rondo not just to play but to recruit. If he's able to convince Boogie, does that make the $9m over 1 year worth it.

Wow lol, huge fall from grace for Boogie if he even considers that offer... Pelicans can offer him a better contract, and they should... If they want the chance to retain Davis.

But how honestly good can Boogie feel that he's only being offered 1 million more than Rondo? Just to play with LeBron, and his buddy ol' pal in that nice Lakers environment? Meh, go back to Pelicans on a two year close to max deal imo.

Guy is coming off injury, the AD/Boogie pairing hasn't exactly set the league on fire. Who knows what the Pels offer him..

That’s crazy for an All-NBA player, especially when Derick Favors just got $18 million for a year.

That Achilles injury for a player his size... history's just not on his side. Add in the questions about attitude. It's not all that crazy.
