Julius Randle being renounced would seem to pave the way for DeMarcus Cousins to go to the Lakers on a one-year deal for LA's remaining cap space – or for the Lakers to split it on a couple of guys.


My understanding is they still don't have the cap space even with this move. Not if Boogie wants to be able to sign a max any time in the near future.

Why would lakers want a 2018 Achilles Boogie on a 1 yr deal vs Julius Randle?

exactly my thoughts.


Someone posted in the MSB thread that Vegas increased LAL odds of getting Kawhi. Maybe this is why they are rescinding Randle, theres a Kawhi deal in the works

that's my thoughts.
Cant they make an uneven trade as long as they stay under the cap?

I don't think so. I want Boogie for sure, but if he wants to go to LA, I don't mind getting a combination of players like Randle, Tyreke, and Luc Mbah a Moute

The Cleveland Cavaliers were linked to Cousins earlier this season after it was reported that they were interested in bringing him to Cleveland. While the New Orleans Pelicans have since clarified that they have no intention of trading Cousins away before the Feb. 8 NBA trade deadline, that didn’t stop James from showing up in Cousins’ mentions.

Yo @boogiecousins chill out man!! Sheesh!!! Super sick stat line

— LeBron James (@KingJames) January 23, 2018

This could simply be one NBA superstar congratulating another on his success, but it is possible that James is trying to create inroads with the All-Star big man.


After Boogie had that huge 44/20 game LeBron tweeted that out and shortly after that rumors came out of nowhere that LeBron was keeping an eye on the Pels as a potential destination. If LeBron wants Boogie they'll go get him Boogie.

I wonder how Dell is feeling right now.

I truly believe they had no intention whatsoever of Elf starting and they really thought Rondo would be back.

This is has to send them into trade mode a bit.

or maybe he did know that, which is why he got Payton and is trying to make a trade for someone like Dragic even though it's unlikely. Sucks, but $9M for Rondo just can't happen, and you can't blame him for taking that payday.

He really helped in the lockerroom and on the bench though. Hopefully AD and Jrue have grown enough to keep it going without him.
