Didn't he wear Cousin's number in the all star game?

Briefly... It was to commemorate the fact that he got Achilles injury.

You guys are seriously overlooking this way too hard... Davis didn't specifically say he didn't want him back. They are both good buddies, but Davis is better off at the 5 in their offense. Gives Mirotic room to space the floor, plus you clear that space. I think the next step is to find someone to take on Jrue Holiday, and try to bring in some defensive 3 and D guards.

Heard an insider where the guest (presumably an insider) pretty much said the pelicans didn’t want cousins back at all.

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
I hope Cousins implodes the Warriors.

Barks KD into a corner and gives Draymond some of his own medicine.

Crossing my fingers he ruins it.

They played better without cousins

It was like night and day

Randle will also be great.

Arguably less physically gifted than Cousins, but uses his gifts far more efficiently.

The battering ram in Randle, and the extremely versatile Davis, will look interesting on offense. On defense, Randle is a great fit too.

Very dynamic front court.

 Agree man up but we also wanted to implode at the right time. We want cousins to give the false illusion he's really going to help and drop some 20 30 point games occasionally then right as the playoffs starts we want him at his worst so to speak that would be ideal.

I think the Pelicans were putting it together with Boogie in the 2 weeks or so before he got injured.

Mirotic fit like a glove, but a healthy Boogie would have been a bigger handful for the Warriors to deal with.

I would have liked to have seen this starting lineup:  Rondo, Holiday, Mirotic, Boogie, AD, even hough trading for Mirotic probably wouldn't have occurred had Boogie not gone down. 

I'm curious to see the Pels starting lineup when the season opens...I don't think they'll win as much without Rondo directing traffic.
