    What kind of amateur bullshit is this?

    “We are going to trade or waive Boogie Cousins.”

    “Boogie Cousins will still start Monday night.”

    A standing ovation? What exactly is a COVID era standing ovation ?

    There is like 5 people in the arena anyway, so can't have much of a standing ovation...

    Don't care about Boogie. I just don't want Wood to get too beat up playing center full time.

    This has gotten so damn sad.... it’s like the old pimp that had a dime and she left and now she is rolling out 70 year heroin addicts with liver spots and is still fronting like they are dimes.

    No dude, Cousins doesn’t deserve a standing ovation. Dude basically has proven to be wrong about everything he said leading up to joining the team and in press conferences after losses.

    He can go to LA or New Jersey (but I doubt they want him) and he can give the same BS press conferences he gave when he joined the Rockets.

    it’s like people have just lowered their standards completely after the Harden trade

    I’d understand PJ getting an ovation for his last game before he’s dealt...he’s at least put in some work here and been a major part of successful teams

    A standing ovation for Boogie tho? Lol, seriously? The hell has he done here? He’s basically just a scrub that was passing through.

    “We said we would release Boogie after paying him. Now that was ALL my decision and I did it because I am a great man and I believe in rewarding folks. So Cousins will start at center for us Monday and then work three or four shifts at Longhorn Steakhouse bussing tables and we will trade him for cash to the Lakers. I even told Stone to give Boogie a free dessert voucher at Morton’s steakhouse if he comes on his birthday. Make sure you tell everyone I am great.” - Tilman Fertitta

    Get younger? Get better? Get smarter? Get rid of a distraction? All good reasons for getting rid of Cousins.

    Get smaller? Shuck that fit. Haven’t they seen enough by now? :mad:

    Um, what’s your point? I’m guessing you’re 1 of those who would give Boogie some standing ovation?

    Tilman isn’t cheap because he guaranteed Boogie’s measly salary like that’s supposed to erase all the trades and maneuvers that magically reduced payroll and helped us to avoid the tax?

    hakeem, please work on your troll game...if I was a teacher grading your work, I’d give u an F

    I wonder what the next move is. We know that KPJ and Martin Jr. will be called up at latest after the G-League season is over, which is about 3 weeks away. This team still has 5 guys that should probably be moved based on age and where they are in their career: Oladipo, House, McLemore, Tucker, and Gordon. My guess is that all of them will be gone by the trade deadline.

    I have no idea what people were watching if they think Cousins is still a good basketball player. He was ****ing awful.

    He may be a good guy, he still sucked.
