Bingo. He also goes to great lengths to keep his philanthropy out of the media spotlight as his mother raised him to not seek praise simply for doing the right thing. I watched a quick piece on his generosity and think very highly of him for it.

Teams are probably banking on him walking away at the end of his contract. But they should know better than assuming he’ll be able to walk.

This is a pretty scathing assessment. It’s a good thing Rose won’t be reading it.

I think Rodman’s stat is from hitting on the players, 50% tell him to fuck off to get rid of him, the other 50% tell them they are lesbian to get rid of him.

In fairness, she mentions “the strain of playing year-round” and the physical toll it has taken. A lot of WNBA players play overseas once the season ends. I don’t think it’s fair to equate a profession that requires year-round strenuous physical activity and training to being an accountant.

Idea for Lifehacker article: Don’t stay in a horrible work environment for an extra 15% of your salary.

Yes, Cousins can be a whiny baby on the court and with the press.

Hot take: The Pelicans are gonna flip him to Boston for way better pieces than they gave up.

Wayne Rooney’s really let himself go.

If Boogie averaged 27 and 10 while not playing hard, then the trade is upgraded from “highway robbery” to “actually absconding with an entire damn highway.”

How about the fact that just about every team in the NBA seemingly had assets equal to or greater than what SAC got, and none tried t get him.

The Spurs could probably have made up 4 foreign-sounding names and traded their draft rights for Boogie on reputation alone.

Also, Cousins has said repeatedly that he was planning on staying in Sacramento. This was about the Kings not wanting to give him $200 million, not them being afraid that Cousins would leave.

After the Celtics/Nets trade of “creaky Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett for the rest of your draft picks for the decade,” this is the worst NBA trade of my lifetime.

This is a significantly worse trade than the Chris-Paul-to-Los-Angeles trade that the NBA stepped in and vetoed several years ago.

Maybe quit kicking your nephew in the stomach, dick.

I know he has been one of the biggest headaches in recent NBA history, but I think almost every other team would be crazy not to take a chance on him. As bad as Cousins has been, that team has been an organizational tire fire for his entire career. The closest he got to a point guard who could run an offense was Rajon…

I really don’t understand what NO has been doing. From what I’ve heard, they were specifically looking for a 5 because Anthony Davis does not want to primarily play the 5. Problem is, a lot of his value comes from playing the 5. His offense works much better without another big, and the Pels defense got MUCH better…

The worst part about this? Every single message board idiot who proposes trading his team’s spare parts for a superstar was just legitimized. Vivek and Vlade are dumber than the cooler heads on the internet.

Great move. Southerners love Cousins!
