DeMarcus Cousins is out for the rest of the season with torn left achilles

[jpotter33]

Now Davis is officially on the market, but should we acquire him?

Yeah, I’m not sure that this automatically puts him on the market, but it certainly clouds their future significantly, especially given that this is Boogie’s contract year.

And with as big, heavy, and mobile Boogie is, it might be fair to assume he’ll have an even longer and tougher road back to his peak. We’ll know more tomorrow after his MRI, but you never know. Davis isn’t just going to want to toil around on a team with no chance at competing either, depending on how long recovery is expected to be.

Davis could put himself on the market like Kyrie did. Remember what Davis said this off season?  This is the final season where the team has to be competitive or he will look for greener pastures


I agree with you, this might be it. Why would Davis want to wait and gamble with whether boogie will ever be the same in a year?

Plus, boogie is a free agent. Who knows if he will even be back

[LilRip]

Poor guy. You hate to see injuries happen, especially potentially career-changing ones. I hope he makes a swift recovery!

[CELTICSofBOSTON]

Horford, Brown, Lakers/Kings, and Memphis is a decent package for Anthony Davis but I don't think New Orleans will trade him just yet.

I'm not sure he is. They are six games above five hundred so its not out of the realm of possibility they stay in the playoffs which means they aren't dealing Davis until this offseason at the earliest. From there this injury complicates things. If the  pelicans decide to stay with cousins it pushes back their decision window on Davis because they have to wait for cousins to get healthy. Really i doubt they trade him unless he demands a trade, and he hasn't shown any inclination to do that and doubt he will with his teammates injury. That would be really bad optics. Its one thing to demand a trade from a team that cant build around you. Its another to demand a trade after a teammate goes out with an injury.  This may actually make it less likely they trade Davis this offseason.

On an off note if Davis is available OF COURSE YOU AQUIRE HIM.

Sucks to hear. Terrible injury.

sneak into playoff and get yourself embarassed from a sweep?
I am sure that's not what he is looking for

[blink]

wow, terrible injury.  Good luck to Boogie for his rehab.  I hope he comes back as good as ever.
ruptured achilles is a bad injury.

Playoffs would be a step in the right direction for them. That might be enough to placate him for another yyear. Remeber, not everybody is as eager to leave behind the only franchise they have ever known to come play for Boston as we would like them to be.

You have a point regarding people think different ways
But if i were him i will want to escape ASAP
Tendon torn from normal movement is a sign of overuse, i see Boogie and think i am the next

[makaveli]

LOL how long did it take you to figure this one out...TP bro

[makaveli]

Obviously you hate to see anyone go down with a season ender. Now the Pelicants front office has to make some tough decisions.
If they trade Davis and tank the rest of the season, it might be a good thing for them. Say we give them Brown, Smart, our pick, LAL pick, and fillers , they would have their own lottery pick and that would be a good deal right? It jumpstarts a rebuild in an instant. Maybe they could trade Holiday as well for a youngsteror a lottery.

If Ainge somehow gets AD without giving up Tatum/Brown he'll be in the 🐐 discussion for GMs.

Yeah sure... Pelicans just gonna give up a top 7 player under conrract for 2 more years without at least getting one of our best young players.
