Danny’s unicorn gets away again

Go get Howard to counter.

Honestly if we were trying to get Cousins it may be in the works

Well [dang]. I had no idea I’d have to get disappointed by a Free Agent this year. At least this time it was after the fact instead of us having to wait it out.

Well it is obvious that Danny is willing to sign someone in addition to keeping smart

Boogie is no Unicorn. He's a poor man's Embiid who's unwilling to commit on D.

Kind surprised, but not really.

While it’s much more likely that Cousins is nowhere near the player he once was and/or his character brings more burdens than benefits, like I said for GS at that price it’s worth the risk, as you could always cut him if things didn’t work out. And neither Boston nor GS really *need* him, so definitely a risk worth taking.

Hopefully it doesn’t work out for GS. I think people are overlooking a pretty poor fit there, too, similar to how he’d be in Boston.

yup. Danny clearly doesn't care about head cases if they can produce on the court

I'm pretty happy with what we have especially if we re-sign Smart.  I'd like to see what this team can do before making any other major moves.

Wow that's a gut-punch. Glad we found out after the deal was done, otherwise it'd be devastating.

Still think Danny shows interest in Dwight Howard now. Maybe on vet. min.
