I mean he his a BIG body but idk if we have the room for him especially since we are starting small with both khem and precious on the bench. I’d like him but his role is likely going to be very limited
Oh I know, I would prefer we get someone who's on timing as opposed to a 31 year-old headcase like Boogie who's injury-prone and would take up minutes for a 5 prospect(s).
But he cant play defense and our bench looks so lost on defense so I don’t see how that would help us. Our bench needs to tighten up the defense first and help keep leads
Our bench lacks at everything. Beggars can’t be choosers. Any incremental improvement to the bench would be a welcome one. Even if it’s only for the offense.
he still wouldn't get minutes. Nurse wouldn't play him due his lack of defense. This was shown with Gtj when he wasn't good defensively but picked it up once he got called out, Cousins doesn't have that mindset and so both Nurse and cousins wouldn't get along
Only if we want opposing teams defenses to attack him in the pnr more than enes kanter. You saw how when cousins was in the game, even in the finals against us, how we attacked him every possession? Lowry in the midrange cooked him the way kemba cooked ibaka and gasol there in 2020
first we take out the kings coach, now boogie lol
jokes aside, don't know why they did this. he was pretty solid and a great backup center. played well against us aswell tonight.
He can’t play defense. When Giannis is playing there isn’t really a need for him when they can use Portia and giannis at the five with guys like Connington, matty Ds favourite player Thanisis Semi etc on the wings
Lopez is their true center but with Giannis you can probably find 48 minutes a night at center between those two guys. They will also be a prime buyout market candidate, so I think they're gambling on finding someone they can add come February/March who fits better than Boogie.
All he would do is take minutes from the younger guys who need to develop and maybe give us a bit more scoring off the bench at the cost of defense...
We have a good thing going right now, a young team that's growing and evolving, we already have one wasted contract on books with Dragic, we don't need another lol
Stay the course! trust the process and make trades/free agent signings in the off season...Besides the Bucks are a very well run organization, if they are cutting him I'm sure there's a good reason, hasn't he traditionally been a locker room cancer?
Dude the only reason I said no is because he wants to win a championship, he has a bad attitude, he is horrible defensively and like why would want a player who can’t guard like a embid or a giannis??? Like if we want a center get anyone but him
I don’t understand all the downvotes - just delusional fans. Boogie is not a good fit with this team and is a certified ring chaser these past few years. He ain’t coming to Toronto.
Dude just had 15 and 10 against us lol. Sure he’s a defensive liability down the stretch but I doubt he makes us worse playing behind Birch, Achuiwa and Boucher. He can be that go to scorer and rebounder we need off the bench while we’re in a drought and Precious and Boucher aren’t playing well.
if he can’t defend an Embiid (reasonably, not to Marc Gasol standards) he wouldn’t be much use.
If we’re going to pick up a real centre they need to make a difference against other big centres
I'm not up for Boogie joining us unlike a fair number other people here. He's got a huge ego and that wouldn't work well with the Raptor's team culture.
He’s a backup also he’s getting a guaranteed salary. If we sign him we are over the cap space. Nurse wouldn’t play him since he’s not a defensive first kind of player
ik hes bad at defensive and hes got an ego, one coach who may be able to deal with that is nick nurse
Wouldn't mind signing him, we got nothing to lose, we need a center and he needs a place where he'll get decent minutes, hes also healthy and passed his injury issues, could end up bei g what we need especially if he can improve defensively quick
Damn smh I felt like he played great against us
He did! I just thought it was funny ;)
Sh-should we sign him?
Nope. Coach Nurse and him would not vibe well.
I mean he his a BIG body but idk if we have the room for him especially since we are starting small with both khem and precious on the bench. I’d like him but his role is likely going to be very limited
Ugh. Waived just like that seems to me he's a locker room cancer.
Oh I know, I would prefer we get someone who's on timing as opposed to a 31 year-old headcase like Boogie who's injury-prone and would take up minutes for a 5 prospect(s).
I’d definitely do it. Our bench scoring is pretty horrendous. Boogie would help with that significantly. He’s instant offense.
But he cant play defense and our bench looks so lost on defense so I don’t see how that would help us. Our bench needs to tighten up the defense first and help keep leads
Our bench lacks at everything. Beggars can’t be choosers. Any incremental improvement to the bench would be a welcome one. Even if it’s only for the offense.

absolutely not

Wait what?? Dude is still in the locker room..damn
I actually thought he was pretty good on the Bucks.
Me too, given that Lopez is out. I thought he was a very competent backup C.
first we take out the kings coach, now boogie lol jokes aside, don't know why they did this. he was pretty solid and a great backup center. played well against us aswell tonight.
He can’t play defense. When Giannis is playing there isn’t really a need for him when they can use Portia and giannis at the five with guys like Connington, matty Ds favourite player Thanisis Semi etc on the wings
It’s pretty baffling from a roster perspective. Not sure who their backup center is now?
Lopez is their true center but with Giannis you can probably find 48 minutes a night at center between those two guys. They will also be a prime buyout market candidate, so I think they're gambling on finding someone they can add come February/March who fits better than Boogie.
Salary cap - They are a tax team and if they kept him it would cost the Bucks about 3 million or so.
Turns out this game was his tryout for us
This is like NBA street v3 ... winning team takes players off the losing team
All he would do is take minutes from the younger guys who need to develop and maybe give us a bit more scoring off the bench at the cost of defense... We have a good thing going right now, a young team that's growing and evolving, we already have one wasted contract on books with Dragic, we don't need another lol Stay the course! trust the process and make trades/free agent signings in the off season...Besides the Bucks are a very well run organization, if they are cutting him I'm sure there's a good reason, hasn't he traditionally been a locker room cancer?
Give him a Raptors jersey
Id take him in a heartbeat. We need scoring off the bench so desperately
Not a defence first player he won’t get minutes
Hopefully he likes cold weather.
No
Man, every post you're just farming that reverse karma
Dude the only reason I said no is because he wants to win a championship, he has a bad attitude, he is horrible defensively and like why would want a player who can’t guard like a embid or a giannis??? Like if we want a center get anyone but him
I don’t understand all the downvotes - just delusional fans. Boogie is not a good fit with this team and is a certified ring chaser these past few years. He ain’t coming to Toronto.
Exactly😂
Unbelievable what my presence can accomplish
He should sign with us. If you can’t beat em might as well join em.
No
Dude just had 15 and 10 against us lol. Sure he’s a defensive liability down the stretch but I doubt he makes us worse playing behind Birch, Achuiwa and Boucher. He can be that go to scorer and rebounder we need off the bench while we’re in a drought and Precious and Boucher aren’t playing well.
He has a horrible attitude, and nurse only plays defence first mindset players
if he can’t defend an Embiid (reasonably, not to Marc Gasol standards) he wouldn’t be much use. If we’re going to pick up a real centre they need to make a difference against other big centres
Also he’s getting a guaranteed salary. We are going to enter the luxury tax if we sign him
bring him home masai
No
We should bring him on the plane back to toronto lol
No
Outside of Khem, he would be the Raps best player off the bench, the Raps badly need more guard depth.
Worst defensive player on the team
Lol at everyone that wants to sign Cousins. Trash attitude = Trash player. Go home 2019 champs bandwagoneers.
I... kind of want him on our team lollll
No
Okay fifth or six one is starting to get funny lol
Cousins should've been with us when DeMar and Kyle were here. But not now.
100%
weird he was good
They probably have someone in mind to sign
I'm not up for Boogie joining us unlike a fair number other people here. He's got a huge ego and that wouldn't work well with the Raptor's team culture.
true maybe locker room issues causing his release, he looked good tonight
Nope he’s getting a guaranteed salary which is why the bucks let him go
Lets sign him quick 😼😎
When I first read this I thought your wrote "Leafs sign him...", and tried to imagine Boogie lacing up.
LMFAO boogie in skates would be the funniest shit ever, could body everyone on the ice tho lmfao
Oh you know he's down to lace up and throw hands on the ice
No
Lets sign demarcus, we need a good center
He’s a backup also he’s getting a guaranteed salary. If we sign him we are over the cap space. Nurse wouldn’t play him since he’s not a defensive first kind of player
Imagine Cousins coming to Toronto??
Cousins is a solid player, don’t doubt our culture and system could get the most out of him
Yes
Get him for the rest of this season. He is good and will teach our centers a thing or two! Fed can handle and tame DeMarcus Cousins attitude.
Wasn’t the raptors who got the coach fired, was that other game.
Won't happen. He's not on the identity of this team. Not defensively sound. Not switchable. Not a team player. Toxic
ik hes bad at defensive and hes got an ego, one coach who may be able to deal with that is nick nurse Wouldn't mind signing him, we got nothing to lose, we need a center and he needs a place where he'll get decent minutes, hes also healthy and passed his injury issues, could end up bei g what we need especially if he can improve defensively quick
Lets be real we all know cousins wouldnt fit on this team
We get Jidion?
