Love the talent, hate the immaturity. I’d pass on him. Look what one immature Vet, Swaggy, did to our young core 1.0. Got DLO blackballed and Clarkson went over the deep end as mr lover man lol.
The dream scenario for me is Bron, Kawhi & then AD, with whatever young pieces left in place.
I wouldn't be against Cousins if the price was in the same region as it is this year, but it's not gonna be. _________________ Lakers, Chargers, Dodgers, Arsenal FC.
There is Warriors, even if Durant leaves them, they will be strong contender and Durant going to team up with Kawhi so there will be good teams, and player like Cousins can't be enough to beat them. We need something mental, mature not childish aggro kiddo Cousins. I would offer him 10 millions for year max.

Better consolation prize free agent big: post-injury Boogie or Nikola Vucevic? _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

Lakers have gone for defensive minded centers. It’s a bit foolish to overspend cap space on non defensive, Achilles torn centers. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
I'm just not sure the Lakers have enough cap space for two MORE Max contracts.
But one more is easy, be it Durant, Thompson or Kawhi.
Then since Boogie is not going to get max money from anyone, he might be had for a lower dollar amount to further "prove" he has regained his game, he is making $5.3 mil this year, so something in the $8-$10 mil range may be enough..
But ONLY if he can actually contribute, no way would I want the Lakers to sign he so he can further rehab...
And another thing for the Cousins nay-sayers: He might be the ONLY FA the Lakers can get next year. There is no indication that Davis, Kawhi, Durant or Thompson have ANY interest in signing here! _________________ “Always remember...

Boogie is the ultimate *all star stats but more harm than good* player
waaay too much risk with him
Tell the Pels that who’s currently struggling without him
Tell that to Portland since they were destroyed by the Pels without Boogie
They need the likes of Rondo back on their roster along with a legit wing player. For instance, if they had allowed Hield to develop instead of sending him to SAC for Boogie.

It was the fanbase's immaturity that got the entire D'lo story the traction it continued to have years after the fact and things disproven, and continue going years after Iggy said that she left Nick because he got caught on their own security cam footage bringing women into their home.
But fanbase didn't care, far as they were concerned, D'lo getting hacked meant he leaked the video, and Nick getting dumped due to getting caught on his own security cam footage never happened. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Looked pretty good dunking over KD.
Is Lebron + AD + Kuz > Lebron + Cousins + Lonzo +Kuz +BI + Hart?
That was comedy, not real basketball. KD challenge that shot like someone who didn't know how to play basketball, then he fell on the ground to sell the "devastation" of the dunk even more. Longer clip of the goof-off:
