re: Demarcus Cousins gets 4yr/$58m extension...

I doubt it, at least for next summer.

New Kings ownership is all in on Cousins. Vivek mentioned him prominently soon after he bought the team in a way that he didn't mention Tyreke. Same thing with Malone once he got the head coaching job. They are building around the big guy.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Boogie. He finally has what at least appears to be a competent front office and coach. Certainly some of his problems stem from just how dysfunctional the Maloofs were for the past several years. But he's still got plenty of work to do- he is downright atrocious on defense.

On a side note, this should all but guarantee Greg Monroe gets a max contract.
