Boogie dances his way to the Wizards

I don’t know how it’s going to happen, or if it’s even remotely possible, but I have a feeling that something out of left field is going to happen over the course of the next two weeks. And the more I think about it, the more I believe it’s going to revolve around DeMarcus Cousins, whose market could be extremely limited.

Cousins is coming off a major injury and won’t have teams lining up to throw him max money. And if he doesn’t get it from the Pelicans, I believe that he’s going to be signed and traded. And what better place for him to land than the Washington Wizards?

He has a history with John Wall, and Washington doesn’t currently have a center. It would have to be a sign-and-trade, and Washington could put-together a package centered around Otto Porter.
