Uhh okay I guess? Hard to believe we couldn't even get cash and a fake second rounder for him.

It makes Cousins' agent (TJ's agent) happy.

why not just keep him if he's gone in a few months anyway?

He came here on the cheap with an expectation of getting X number of minutes. He won't get them now. Letting him go makes us look good to potential FA's because we made a sacrifice to help out one of our players. Plus he shares an agent with either Boogie or Jrue (I forget which).

Why is anyone surprised? Demps struck gold once with Cousins. He's done nothing else.

Or at least a fake 2nd to save a few hundred thousand dollars. Houston able to dump Ennis and Atlanta could dump Scott to teams looking to get to floor.

Just shocking that we couldn't move him.

I understand the logic of waiving him but it does suck.

so boogie's agent could hold a grudge against us if we don't release T Jones to go play elsewhere for the remaining 25 games while we're in playoff hunt and we've already helped T Jones have one of the best years of his career. I get it but if he goes to sign with a west contender, the shite pisses me off.

Woj thinks Dallas is about to buy out Derron Williams. Do we use newly open roster spot on him?

He's not. He's going to sign somewhere he can get a lot of minutes to be on showcase for his next contract.

No shot whatsoever.

He's going somewhere like Cleveland
