Chris is too old for this team. Build with Jrue AD and Boogie


You realize this is a 60 win team with Chris Paul right? Guy wins 50+ wherever he goes. It's more ridiculous to prefer Jrue than the idea of Chris actually coming home. CP3 would actually OPEN the window for a title in this city in the NBA. That's unfathomable. I get the point. Stay young. Build it up. You just don't pass up the PERFECT PG who's already proven he knows how to make two bigs look dope as frick.

I agree, if the opportunity looks realistic, you take the risk. Age, injuries and all.

CP3 is that one player that I think would be the perfect veteran presence for Cousins and AD.

You're right. I thought Chris was older but he's just 31.

I'm so happy I've stuck through it. I haven't been this energized since we got AD. If we could only trade Asik and/or Solo for skittles, this team future looks promising. I don't see us having an issue resigning Boogie. His agent said what he said to scare off bidders because Cousins would have made a ton more money with the Kings this offseason. Find some shooters and watch the league cower.

I went to bed day dreaming of the pairing when I saw the rumors and woke up to reality a couple hours later. This is so lopsided it's incredible to be on the receiving end. Cue conspiracy theories. NOLA steps up for ASW with the CHA crap and the NBA leaves Demarcus Cousins behind.

I've been following the Pels since they were the Hornets and played in the eastern conference. I even made a road trip to OKC to play the 2 seasons that they were there, but Genty and Demps have been to much too bear.

I still can't believe this is real, I have wanted Cousins next to AD since we have had him but it was all a fricking dream scenario in my head. This is the biggest acquisition since this team arrived outside drafting CP3 and AD.

FWIW Evans+Buddy for DMC worked salary-wise

So probably:
a) Dell wanted a shooting wing
or
b) SAC wanted to get rid of any DMC-related

I like Galloway, but like more Casspi in this deal.

You cannot re-sign traded player for a year.

even with o buyout

galloway has PO - which he might excersise.
If Sac will buy him out they will have to agree with him what amount of money they pay :)

Same. It was 4 AM at half time of the ASG. Rumors of Boogie to Nola rumors were swirling. I literally crossed my fingers and toes when I crawled into bed. Woke up to this.

Pass on cp3. Yeah he's a regular season winner but just like the rockets, he can't get it done pass that.

If you look up trade rape in the dictionary you will see this trade as the example. #flapsohard
