Where do I sign?
His stock is at an all-time low. Time to make an offer. Jazz clearly aren't going anywhere with Jefferson and Millsap leading the team. As a former "bad boy, " let Tinsley take Cousins under his wing. Sure, it's rolling the dice, but I'd offer Jefferson + the GS pick for Cousins.
When one door closes, another doesn't open....instead, I find myself being locked in a room with padded walls and no windows.
I'm really over the idea of Cousins here basically under any pretense. Dude's poison junk until further notice.
Playing well is priority #1 and nothing outside of that is really even close. If you're hoping someone else ****s up, then you don't deserve the break.
Not that we could land him with Jefferson + other stuff, but if that were the case I see that as big success as he could be buried on the bench when we finally open up the front court minutes. Or trade him for a draft pick. In any case, the primary goal of any move the Jazz make should most definitely be to free up minutes for Favors and Kanter. If the only feasible move that accomplishes that is firing Corbin then at least that's within our grasp. Hypothetically, at least.
If we have someone like Popovich or Phil Jackson - may be they can coach Cousins.
But we have Corbin.
Enough said.
Freakazoid = Matt Harpring. Just ask him - he won't deny it.
My Dream Draft '13: Trey 'Black Jesus' Burke & Glen Robinson III
My "back to reality" Draft '13 Dennis Schroeder aka "German General" & Giannis Adetokunbo aka "Greek Freak"
That's pretty much it. Doc, Phil, Pops, Stan .. someone Cuz respects and demands it from him. He was awesome at UK because he respected the coaching staff, players, and they respected him .. the fans loved him and responded well to it all. No problems at all. However, I could easily see where he would run rampant over weakness.

WTF?!!! So let's just hand them our GS pick to pick up a guy who's an inefficient headcase and keep our logjam going?
@PKM: Yeah, Cousins respected Cal so much he would curse him out. Good one. Bro.
Stop being a GD idiot. That is all.
........................................................................................................................ ...
Please expound.
I was at maybe 30 practices and at Cal's home for BBQ's and team get-togethers. Cal and Cuz had a great relationship. Cousins considers Calipari a true father figure. If you ask Cal's little girl who her favorite person in the world is, she'll tell you "Demarcus."
lol
My point is you keep saying Cousins cussed Cal out and that's fine that you're spouting, I'm just telling you're wrong about the respect level. Cousins still calls Lexington home and says it was the best time of his life and the only place he was ever accepted. He takes some work, but it would pay off.
lol
You can keep saying, "Yeah right, he cussed Cal out" all you want, but it's a gross mischaracterization of the relationship. Your choice. Btw, I've said, repeatedly, no to Cousins for the Jazz .........
........................................................................................................................ ...
Even with Cousins being a complete head case I would still make the Al Jefferson for Cousin's Trade. I could care less if we get Jimmer.
He respects Cal. Good for him. This doesn't change the fact that he's a whiny little bitch.
I thinks Cuz's umbilical cord had a few kinks in it. He just seems fundamentally wacked.
There is a spiritual side to preparation and seeing the game. I dont think he'll ever realize/achieve this, regardless of the coach. He's just so physically gifted he can play at a high level despite this.
(first update) Offseason to-do list:
(no order)
1. Let Mo, Foyeeee3, Al (s&t?), Watson, and Tinsley go.
2. Re-sign Carroll
3. Draft McCollum, Schroeder, and Giannis (leave the latter two in Europe for a year [maybe two years for Giannis]).
4. Sign Tony Allen
5. Try to keep Millsap. If that doesn't work, explore s&t options.
6. Remove Corbin. Hire Brad Stevens or SVG.
7. Sign Calderon to a one-year (2 max) deal, or see if the cash-strapped Lakers will let us absorb Nash's last year.
I'm going against everyone here and I say bring on Cousins for one thing, and one thing only, he might help all of us get Corbin out of here immediately.
