Vet min for sure, he aint worth the MLE and needs a full season to prove himself again.

 

[Reality Check]

If he would have signed with the Wizards I would have for sure thought he was done.

Got a really bad rap after getting hurt early in the playoffs. I think both Boogie and Heyward would bounce back this year.

Perhaps not to the heights that they were but solid players.

boogie-AD-lebron frontcourt?

talk about physical

There was apparently no market for him. Glad the Lakers got him. Give him an off-season/training camp and hopefully he'll be close enough to the player he was before his Achilles tear.

washington wanted him fwiw

 

[Addison Rae]

Fine with giving him a chance.

Low risk potential high reward.

lakers don't even have MLE.

 

[hockeykicker]

its worth 2.3 mil

 

[robertmac43]

man that is such a cheap low risk move

 

[Hoverhand]

he still put up good numbers last year, snagging him for 2.3 is a very good decision

I think this is the route Boogie Cousins' career is going to go from here on out. One year deals at cheap money.

He already has chemistry with Davis. I expect him to have a good season. Lebron will essentially be the PG.

Worth the risk at this price. It's hard to say how much upside there is at this point but it's certainly more than most of the other players left on the market.

He didn't have much of a sample size, yea he did get in a half decent amount of games but due to the severity of such an injury, teams will ant to see a full season from him before throwing big dollars his way.

 

[BigZ65]

Imagine 3 years ago if someone said Cousins, Davis and LeBron would be on the same team in 2019-20.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

The battle of LA should be interesting. Least the Lakers have put together a bench

Makes sense for the Lakers, but I don't think he'll be an above average player anymore to be honest.

Its a hard injury to come back from no doubt, but there were times last year where you saw the "old" Boogie. IMO a team with less talent would have been perfect for him (aka when he was on SAC) and he would have had more chances to show what he still has left (Charlotte possibly). But I guess nobody was interested.
