Could be why he didn't get many bites from other teams.

Brooklyn can't sign him for one year.

Wonder if he'd go for a vet minimum deal for the rest of the year. Maybe he could get ready by the playoffs. Would provide some offense to the second unit if he can get healthy.

We say yes. I gotta think he's gonna go for as much $ as he can though. With all the health concerns i actually hope he gets as much money as he can - which means elsewhere. If that number is the vet minimum. He'd be crazy to pass us up... and we'd be crazy to hang onto McAdoo instead of grabbing him.

Moti would be awesome on the Warriors, but yeah, I don't think he signs for the veteran minimum.

Love Monte on the Warriors for a season.

Without knowing the details, it seems Morey has F'd with him since day one.

Rockets look like they can outshoot anyone, including the Warriors.

Interesting stuff about Demarcus Cousins here. I don't usually buy into this sort of stuff because reporters can be full of shite, but I guess where there is smoke there usually is fire.

The bully remarks are interesting. IF this report is true, Cousins sounds like a grade-A wank stain.

Well he bullied Stauskas off the team right?

Locker room cancer.

Looks like we probably got to see the best of Festus as a basketball player whilst he was with us. Poor guy.

Sad for Festus, but it makes our KD signing even better. It's only Bogut and Barnes for KD now and it's even more of a no-brainer.
Bogut is currently injured as well.

I was just looking up some stats on Embiid, and while I was at it looked up stats for the rookie class. Boxscore stats aren't everything, but so far this rookie class is not off to a stellar start. Usually you have at least one or two rookies putting up hollow stats on crappy teams, but this year? Yeesh.

- Saric is the top scorer at 9.4 ppg
- He's also the top rebounder at 5.8 rpg
- The top assist guy is... Andrew Harrison at 3.5 apg
- There are only 6 rookies scoring even 7 ppg, and the highest shooting percentage among them is 40.9%

So it is early, Simmons is hurt, and the boxscore doesn't tell the whole tale, but this looks pretty brutal so far.

We ALSO lost Mo Buckets, Barbosa,Rush.. but added McGee, Zaza, West and our rookies.

short run.. we had to remake the chemistry, the system. long haul......it looks quite good. :nod:

So Demarcus got ejected for a second T and ran out to the lockeroom ... and then unejected and came back. I have never seen that happen, I didn't even knew they could take it back. Shame on Stotts for whoring himself out trying to get a T in the first place tho, that's some weak ass stuff.

EDIT: For some footage.

Lol Demarcus. He's such a ticking time bomb.

I wish DC leaves to a better franchise. That might be great for his career.

Yeah but those guys would have left regardless of Durant I think.
I still don't get why Mo signed for the minimum though, but I own him in a fantasy league and he's having another great and productive season, so I'm ok with it

Cousins seems like an ass. Reports of him being a bully are serious for me. He can jump in the lake if true, you don't bully colleagues.

I hope he ends up in Brooklyn surrounded by their puke roster.

Dunno if that's a franchise downgrade though

I honestly see him going to the Lakers. I think Luke would be good for him. Not so sure Demarcus would be good for Luke on a daily basis lol.

But to me its a good fit and the Lakers can throw Sac a few things.
