Should we try to sign Boogie?

I could see us signing RHJ on Tuesday when 10-day contracts become available.

He knows the system, it wouldn’t cost too much for ten days, and we’d maintain flexibility for trades.

Would you rather choose the worst team in the league over a contender, if you’re talking same minimum contract? Lol

Cousins would only come here if the Wolves did an ugly overpay, which would then hurt the franchise.

I already talked about this but since you missed it. On a contender he gets less minutes with a tighter leash. Here he gets more minutes with a better opportunity to show what he can do. For him it is prove it time. For us it is a small ball out if he is better than Vando.

He's way past "prove it" time. He has been on several contenders and has shown to remain the same dumb, uncontrollably emotional and selfish player with undoubtedly great (wasted) talent.

What? Teams have continually spoken positively of him, he just keeps getting injured. His teammates have a high opinion of him, his body is just completely toasted, at this point.

He keeps getting tossed out of games. I dont care how they speak about him to be honest. He is highly unprofessional, in fact if you ask any fan who watches the NBA frequently who the most unprofessional and overly emotional guy is they'll probably name him. Cant believe we're really discussing this.

We wouldn’t be if Vando could catch a pass or Juancho could bother showing up in shape. I admit I have not followed Boogie much outside of the occasional article and a quick glance at his stat line after I read he is available. That said, I just don’t think he could be much worse than what we are dealing with now.

After hearing what everyone had to say I agree it is probably a bad fit. I do however strongly believe small ball is a ticket to the lottery and we need to acquire 1 or 2 legit centers to move KAT and Naz to guarding and ideally being guarded by PFs.

Ironic this thread came up just before we hire the guy who is credited with helping develop Cousins down in N.O.

I was kinda thinking the same.

Finch didn't really develop Cousins, but he did help accentuate his game in some ways though. Career high in assists, for example.
