Pretty sure most of the Louisiana hate is coming from him rejecting the Pels contract to go to Golden State


I fully don't understand that.

If he'd stayed, say goodbye to Zion. And even if you're a Pels fan, is it particularly hard to understand why he might join GS?

Being loyal to your favorite team is cool, but it's not hard to see what the Warriors offered Boogie that the Pels didn't.

I don't understand why Pels fans wouldn't be moving on to embracing the future of their franchise. They have bright young stars to celebrate, but are still out here hung up on Boogie?

Because we are actual fans of our team. Not some bandwagon fan.

Like we knew at the time Boogie left that we'd get Zion. Cmon

Partly ring chasing, partly spite.

A better shot at a title in a nicer city and ~38 million less to do so.

The majority of Pels fans aren't as spiteful as you think, and we have our fair share of shite fans like that vanilla ice douche, but look at the facts

- we offered 2/40
- he was mad about it, because he's dumb
- he shopped us, got lower offers everywhere else
- he came back and we lowered the offer because we got knowledge of the market
- he got really mad and left because he played himself

But the really shite part of it is him trying to paint us in a bad light to a media that always believes the player over the organization. Saying there was "no real offer". That fricking unnecessary lie was classic DeMarcus Cousins.

We're capable of being excited about Zion while still giving him the finger.

I don't support rooting for injury at all. But the facts are that DeMarcus cost himself a lot of money by being stubborn and arrogant.

They offered him about $35M less...
