    So are the Pelicans not resigning Boogie. sounds like they want to get out and run again, like they did when he got hurt.

    So if they lose Cousins because of this they got better? They are now hard capped so they might not be able to re-sign him.

    Salary cap hell for the next two years.

    Thanks Neil.

    1) Olshey obviously thinks there is some untapped potential there and that he could be better than Connaughton was last year. He was signed to a minimum deal.

    2) Layman also still has some untapped potential. If he can ever get his shot to fall consistently he can create a little bit and is a decent defender. He was also on his rookie deal so dirt cheap.

    3) 14 players are required on the roster. If they get hard capped they can't go over the tax apron of ($129 million) so they wouldn't be allowed to get to that number without first having 14 guaranteed contracts on the roster.

    4) It depends on what you mean by situation. Signing Stauskas and keeping Layman did nothing to change the other avenues available (neither would Davis except it would've taken another roster spot).

    HMM not sure they got better by losing their starting pG. Rondo and Holiday played great together. Who are they replacing him with?

    How much more proof do we need that Hoopsjock is Olshey's burner account?

    Olshey, get on the phone instead of posting here all day.

    That is a lot less scarier.....We do not match well against either Rondo or Cousins. I wonder where Boogie is going.

    You guys may think I'm crazy......but I got a source in the bay that is saying Cousins is signing with the Warriors! Crazy as it sounds, this guy is always right on. You guys say I never share my info, well let's see how this turns out! #FAMSBomb
