DeMarcus Cousins - NOR - C

One time Cousins, we need you.

any good news?

He sat out shootaround this morning, that was the last news about his status. Still questionable

Any further word on playing tonight?

:O

Will Yahoo rescind Boogie's TECH? My league counts TECHs.

I think we are mostly talking about it from a money investing point though. If you have the best tam in a roto league you are going to win. If you have the best team in a H2H league you are more likely to win. Therefore roto is the safer investment

I don't totally agree with this. There is some randomness involved (see NYK 2 games this week) once playoffs begin in H2H, but I still think the most skillful players have the most success.

@gehrenberg: Truer words have never been spoken. H2H - randomness prevails. Roto - Skill prevails.

Roto baby. That's where its at

Playing h2h becomes more and more meaningless since some rests and teama being super cautious can cost championships even to "perfect" teams. I'd really never play a money h2h league any more.

Unfortunately it becomes pretty frequent in March/April. Also it is likely to become more frequent going forward unless the NBA changes scheduling. There is a lot of research available on proper resting and injury prevention. I think most people would agree the current 82 game schedule is not optimal for player health

Just an absurd amount of fantasy studs missing games this week: Boogie, IT, DJ, Bledsoe, Porzingis, Griffin.

Technical Foul from yesterday rescinded. This greatly reduces the odds of him getting a suspension before fantasy playoffs end

Can't really blame Cousins. Roster is hot garbage (hence they were losing before adding cousins) and Davis and Cousins aren't a great fit next to each other so far. I'll wait until next season to call this trade a disaster.

Sorry Vlade, I doubted your master plan. You knew Cousins will not win in any team. Though the top 3 protection may come back to haunt you lol

if the TECH is rescinded, will I win our Yahoo league's TECH category? will this reflect immediately?

It's a change if scenery, but I still don't think it's a great situation right now. There is a lot of pressure on Cousins to improve the Pelicans and for them to make the playoffs this year. But the roster around their three stars is terrible. They don't have a single role player that I would classify as being above replacement level. They have 22 games to figure out their chemistry and are back 3.5 games with a few teams to pass.

Either way he gets a change of scenery/new start but still the same demonstrative immature attitude. Not that I was really expecting to see him act differently, but damn it would have been a nice surprise.

Pretty good chance

Did anyone see it? Likelihood it is rescinded?

Nutjob was, is and always will be. GL with that NO.

Every other tech

Is he at a point of every tech he gets will be +1 suspension?

And another suspension

(UP) Cousins (DOWN) Pau Gasol, Holiday, Kristap.

It's a double foul, not technical

Only halftime...what is this monster of a line going to come to?? (Also wildly unstable message-sending type of game)

(that is it shouldn't count as one of your moves and your trade should still go through)

@wilsonhw it shouldn't. At least on yahoo! it doesn't.

Does a Trade count as an acquisition? If I used up all my weekly acquisitions, and I have a trade pending that will go through later this week. What happens?

Cousins (up) or Prozingis+Drummond (down) 12-CAT H2H ROS Thanks BBM Fam

Divac at press conference,"we had a better offer two days ago" smh

The race is over; the most valuable 2016-2017 rookie selection was Buddy Hield.

Grant Napear (Kings TV play by play announcer) is not holding back, paints an ugly picture of Cousins and his negative effect on the Kings locker room. Going to be interesting to see how he gels with a new team that already has an established super star/alpha player.

I hope your right. Maybe it takes the extreme (traded) for him to realize his issues. Also pelicans have another star in Davis so maybe he could see less defenders.

@stevenomes I cannot agree with you because even though Boogie is as volatile as kerosene, he knows his basketball life might depend of this opportunity to show that he was only frustrated because of the Kings administration. If he wants to earn what his agent is asking for him, he better act the right way. Hopefully he will mature...

i dont think this helps cousins at all. he will lose his mind on the court. most likely he is not going to handle the trade well and rack up mutliple technicals per game and ejections/suspensions.

It won't reset

they should reset i believe

Does anyone know if the weekly acquisitions reset on yahoo even though the two weeks are combined?

Either that or DMC is too toxic that all it took was what NOR to get it done. IT4 must know way too much info

Danny Ainge fell asleep at the wheel on this one...how is that Paul George deal working out Danny? Butler will cost you both BKN picks and Cousins would have cost only one. SMH

As a Kings fan....Vlade is the worst lol. I think he has Peja, Christie, Bibby, and Scott Pollard in a board room making his decisions for him. Portland got a better deal for Plumlee. Great job, Kings!!!

Nice win for the Sixers. LOL KANGZ

Who soaks up the usage SAC town??? Damn, I wish I had Collison on my team right about now. Any fantasy relevance with Koufas or WCS?

Only 1 first round pick??.....wow.

Vlade won't give the the title to Rob Hennigan easily

Cousins doesn't even have to fly home now

Can we get some way too early speculative fantasy implications?

Im guessing for Hield and picks. Does Hield's value go up? or WCSs?

This is a negative for AD's fantasy #s? Less efficient scoring, rebs down. 3s up?

Cousins to Pelicans - Woj confirmed

Per Woj it's happened. Boogie to the Pels

I really doubt it's the Pelicans but that front court will definitely be a force to reckon with. Plus, I feel for both players wasting their skills on bad teams.

Man, a potential Boogie and Brow combo. WOW

I would say it's more than rumors, but Cousins has not been traded yet. Wojnarowski is reporting that the Kings have some offers they like and they're essentially just deciding whether or not to actually trade Cousins.

He hasn't been traded

He didn't get traded yet right? All just rumors right now

I would prefer to take a chance on WCS over Casspi or tolliver personally. I think he has more upside then those guys. Plus trading Boogie would signal to me the Kings are looking to build for the future, so it would make sense for them to give more minutes to a guy they invested a first round pick in last year.

Obviously, it depends who would come back in a Cousins deal. If the Kings don't get any frontcourt players back, WCS would see extra minutes, but we might see the Kings give Anthony Tolliver and Omri Casspi a lot of minutes, to the point that WCS would remain in a somewhat limited role.

WCS has a pretty fantasy friendly game. If he gets minutes he could be a top 100 player.

Who's the speculative add? Cauley Stein?

celtics????

Suns would be perfect

Played 2 mins in allstar. He's about to get traded tomorrow morning

That sounds like someone trying to artificially inflate Vooch's value.

I highly doubt that's true

Bucher is.....not exactly the most trustworthy....

@Deadmau.. Cousins is one of my favorite fantasy players but in reality he seems like a pretty disruptive personality in the locker room that can really hurt a team. I can understand why teams would steer clear of him. Having said that the magic might as well have rolled the dice on him.

According to a report from Ric Bucher of Bleacher Report, earlier this season the Kings offered DeMarcus Cousins to Orlando for Nikola Vucevic and either Evan Fournier or draft picks, but the Magic declined. wth were the magic thinking haha

pretty sure it was a BS tech call. wonder if it will get rescinded. he gets too many bs calls off reputation

Crazy to think Sheed would have had ~27 at this point in his record tech year...which wasn't exactly an anomaly season for him.

Another tech for DMC already today. It's gonna be a long 2nd half of the season...

Matt Barnes had another good game today and is a strong add. Anthony Tolliver gets a boost when Cousins doesn't play too.

Since it seems ihes looking at a lot of suspensions going forward, who would get the bump on days he isnt playing? WCS?

Who had the under on Feb 7th being the date of his 16th technical? I'd say you had special powers of insight and enlightenment...but I'd also say, it doesn't surprise me... :P ;D

Yes that is how it works. If he keeps up his current pace he is going to get suspended a lot

So now every 2nd technical he receives, he gets another 1 game suspension?

Suspended!

Cousins is one tech away from a suspension

Just something to settle a heated debate amongst friends. Barring major injuries/health scares and both players seeing full mins for respective teams. Next season: Boogie (UP) vs. The Process-Embiid (DOWN)

Boogie Monster

Take this for a grain of salt. This afternoon, my step brother ran into Vlade Divac's assistant on the plane from Miami to Indiana, alone, on an American Eagle all coach plane. He shook Divac's assistant hand and told him to "trade cousins." Vlade's assistant just smiled and didn't say nothing. Just sharing with you guys what I heard.

It's a cool story but I wouldn't know what to do with this info or what it is supposed to mean

Cousins (UP) KAT+Holiday (DOWN) ROS+Playoffs.

Cousins(UP) for Lebron and Crowder(DOWN)?

This is from rotowire: Cousins has been playing through a broken middle finger on his shooting hand, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports. Cousins apparently had X-rays taken prior to the team's current road trip, and despite those X-rays revealing a break, he isn't currently in enough pain to stay off the court. However, his finger was swollen following Monday's massive performance (36 points and 20 rebounds) against the Wizards, so there's no guarantee that he'll be available Wednesday in Philadelphia if his swelling persists.

Sore finger, I guess. I dont think it's gonna cost him a game though.

Anyone have any idea why he's showing as a GTD on yahoo?

Is DMC and Giannis a good start to a punt ft team? Maybe a little low on 3s and high on turnovers..

I would take Giannis

9 cat h2h

Who would be better to pair with Cousins? PG13 and punt FG% or Giannis and figure it out in the later rounds?
