I'm a little late to the party, but..
I'm pretty sure his agent meant he wouldn't sign an extension and would test free agency. It's clear Boogie won't re-sign mid season. It's also clear we can offer him more money than anyone else in FA.

Cap experts back me up on this. Amiright?

Yes.

8% raises, rather than 5%. And the Pels can offer him a 5 year deal, rather than a 4 year deal that he could get from other teams.

Because it doesn't benefit him to sign an extension. Everyone knew this going in.

I full expect him to re-sign if the Pels are competitive.

We can only guess at motivations but I'd have to say while the facts you listed are correct, that's not why the agent tried to derail a trade from the Kings. The Kings were the only team that could give him the new super max extension. That was actually a lot of the motivation behind them trading Cousins in the first place. They knew if they didn't trade him they'd have to pay him and they just didn't want to. Cousins had said he'd have stayed in Sacramento for the money.
