New Orleans offered Cousins a 2 year/40 million contract right before the Playoffs started.  He turned it down. They pulled the offer. 

He wants a ring.  Can't blame him.

That's all on Trae Young.  I'm not a Grayson Allen fan by any means, but he's unjustly being targeted as the cause for the altercation here.

Allen makes no attempt to initially remove himself from Young.

Seriously? Dude locks up the shooter's arm and then leans on top of him and you blame the shooter?

Oh come on.   He's playing defense.  Young makes no attempt not to get himself tied up in the first place then continues to make it worse as the play ends.

After the hook and the foul, it appears that Allen drives his shoulder into Young's gut.  That's what stood out to me.

Who's got the track record of being a complete psychopath?

Allen has his arm out and Young pivots left and as Allen's arm is there and not moving Young then pulls Allens head down which makes Allen pissed and heads Young in the gut.

Both are at fault.  I do love the rough play though.

Parker from Spurs getting traded?!?

No trade. Parker signed free agent deal with the Hornets.

He bolted then?

The Hornets are nowhere close to being a contender...

I'm wondering about how living in Salt Lake is relevant to you not caring enough to dig up video?

Article I read said Spurs wanted him in a mentorship role. Don't know if that means a transition to coaching or a reduction in playing time. Anyways, he said it was an "emotional" decision, but that he needed to move on.

Don't quite get the decision to go with Charlotte since he'll be backing up Walker and that wouldn't be as many minutes as he's been getting. Could be he wanted to play for the new head coach, who was a San Antonio assistant. I guess I would call myself a Hornets fan. They're the closest team and the one I pay most attention to. They really needed a quality backup to Kemba, so looking forward to seeing how he does.

I wouldn’t. Young fell apart when he was under pressure. Grayson doesn’t.

Parker also no where near being a starter anymore.... Spurs prob low balled him, plus all the Kawhi stuff...good time to go. Tony was unreal from 2003-2015....speed, developed great jumper.

Spurs should try to get Brandon Ingram, Hart and (1) 1st rounder from Laker and move on. Kuzma prob not available. You get that package and mix them with Lonnie Walker, Derrick White, Dejounte Murray and you have real good young talent you can add to and build something 3-5 years down the line. No ones beating Golden State anyway. Kawhi stories that are emerging are making him look like a mindless ass. If you wanna go home and play for Lakers/Clippers there is a classier way to do this. I don't buy any of this injury nonsense. The Spurs have been overly careful on their players health, so much so the league got pissed with all the stars sitting out games during the season.

What I don't get is that SA has always been a class act organization so I don't understand why Kawhi and Parker would want to leave?
