He can stay healthy, it was the knee that was keeping him out and he's been past that for two years now and has remained pretty healthy. My bigger concern is how does he fit with Cousins and Davis, and is he actually worth that money. I would say no.

It's not that bad of a fit I'd say, it's just that you're gonna have like 80, 90 million locked up on those three and they're still gonna need some quality wings to round out that team.
 
Next summer they could spend about 20M on a fourth good player and go over the cap to re-sign DMC, I think. Gonna be interesting.

It's definitely better than the 170-180M he was rumored to be getting. They're supposed to be signing his brother into a large portion of the MLE as well.

As of right now, they're sitting on $87.1M in salary (add $500K to that to cut Diallo) for next offseason.
Add Cousins' cap hold of $18.9M, and you're looking at $106.5M, which is over the cap. 
 
They can easily re-sign Boogie (if he wants to) but they have almost no wiggle room for a 4th player unless its a S&T with two of Asik/Moore/Hill leaving
 
I'd say its extremely unlikely, but after Kevin Pritchard's idiocracy last night I won't count out a team dumping a star for a shitty contract apparently

They need help in so many other areas.. I understand a PG is essential.. but I read they were gonna run Boogie as the point big like Denver did the 2nd half of last year .. was thinking they'd let Jrue walk and solidify the rest of the starting 5 and out the load on AD and Boogie

I guess if they can maintain this year until next it's ok..

The issue with letting Jrue walk was it would still leave you with very little cap space.
