[B Sox]

I wouldn't want anything to do with Boogie. Injury or not.

 

[Based Jesus]

Boogie is worth taking a chance on. Just not for a ridiculous contract.
No 4 year 150+mil with a player option type contracts.
Gotta be smart signing a 300lb dude coming off an achilles.

 

[MVP]

2 years/50 mil, team option to year number 2.

 

[geno90221]

2 years/50 mil, team option to year number 2.

If he sits for 18-19 season u picking that option up?

Don't know if Cousins would take that but that's a fair deal

Boogie will want at least $60M on that type of deal

 

[B Sox]

If I had to guess, I'd say the Pels end up giving him a big deal and then try to move him.

 

[MVP]

I don't think he's missing the entire season, maybe not even half so there should be ample time to see what he has.

But IF he misses 18-19 are you picking that option up?

Obviously not that's the whole point of having the team option. To see how he responds after the injury.

 

[B Sox]

Boogie isn't signing a contract with a team option.

 

[MVP]

Boogie isn't signing a contract with a team option.

He may not have a choice if he wants anywhere close to max money. As much as I love Boogie, this particular injury would warrant some apprehension on the part of the team that signs him. I think it's a medium that he may be forced into. I don't see anybody offering him a 3 or 4 year deal at anywhere close to what he wants.

Dallas would probably do it with the quickness.

What teams even realistically have close to max cap space for Cousins and the need for a starting center?

 

[MVP]

Lakers & Mavs

Lakers
Mavs
Bulls
Suns.

I doubt he gets max years or max money but someone will kick the tires on him. And should. 2 years x won’t kill you

Mavericks
Hawks
Lakers

[dacomeup]

That short term deal is going to burn his soul. That boy was trying to get paid.

 

[lovehateself]

boogie getting that DH 3/90 deal

 

[ballinsam23]

Mavs been thirsty for a center for who knows how long. If Bamba doesnt fall to them (hell even if he does) I could see Cuban giving Cousins that 3/90 deal.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Aren't the Mavs rebuilding?

Why would they bring in Boogie?

Bamba or JJJ would actually pair pretty well with him.

Cuban and Carlisle not trying to do all that. They can offer someone a max this summer and then will have a lot of cap space again next summer when Wes Matthews comes off the books.

 

[100027]

They gotta cut Carlisle loose. He’s a terrible tank/development commander, and could do some good elsewhere.

 

[MVP]

Bamba should fall right into the Mavs laps
