Welcome on to a Sunday night edition of the Dunk Don't Basketball NBA podcast.

A lot to get to, we're going to do the first half of 1560, but we really are only going to do half it

because we have to hit on this news that happened over the weekend with DeMarcus Cousins,

Andre Robertson, Mike Conley, all going to be out for the rest of the year. So we'll get to that

momentarily sponsored today by hymns. Go to four hymns.com slash cap space and for just $5, you can get a

the weight and the movement and everything else like that and Boogie's explosion was a part of

what makes him so special. And so you have those elements combined with the Pelicans competing for

the playoffs, you know, still still trying to make it into feel terrible for Cousins because this

would have been his first playoff appearance. And now it will not be his first playoff appearance

forage and after this year, that was, you know, the designated veteran extension, basically the

reluctance there was what part of what got him traded in the first place. That has obviously

off the table now that he got traded. So he will be a forageant this summer unless he signs an

extension between now and then, which seems unlikely, but possible. And that opens a lot of things
