Anyone for Cousins?

Not so sure SAC wouldn't prefer Favors over Gobert. I don't think it matters much. I could see Cousins pairing well next to either.
 
I've said from day one that cousins would be a guy that figures it out on his second or third team. Problem is we don't have the personnel, infrastructure, or leadership to help him corral that. He needs to be with a guy like KG who's been there or team like the heat that has pat Riley, Dwayne wade and a real program.

I just don't think we are a match.
 
George Karl was a ****ty hire... He's had issues with many of his star players and sold ownership on working with DMC to get the job while the whole time he planned in trying to trade the guy. Karl was possibly one of the worst hires they could have made. No idea why they didn't keep Mike Malone.

That's not at all what I said. It's totally perfect that your memory has slaughtered it, though. Perfect.

I could copy and paste it just to clown u again but I'm getting a bit bored of that.

I've intentionally stayed out of this thread being genuinely curious what people here would say about the topic.

Tbh, it has given me renewed faith in this message board for having some decent level of objectivity.
I truly expected to only see complete bashing of boogie. Glad to see some balance.

I have said REPEATEDLY... Cousins really needs a coach, PG, and fans that show him love. Immature of him? Probably.

But watching him play his FRESHMAN season at UK was an easy glimpse into what could be. Playing with John Wall (with whom there was tremendous mutual respect) and for Calipari (with whom there was tremendous mutual respect) along with a fanbase that ADORED him... he was happy. Still calls Lexington home. Not for the nightlife, not for the social scene, but because he's always been rejected his whole life.. until Lexington.

Sound immature? Kinda, yeah.. but if I were an NBA franchise and understood the recipe, I'd start baking.

Gripes about his coach, or organization i can understand given what you've said, but the constant whining and griping on court at teammates is a MASSIVE red flag. You know there's something wrong when other players frequently complain about playing with him. Different circumstances can certainly result in a change in a players outlook but i just don't see much strength of character at all in him.

It is all part of the same thing; he's unhappy with his situation, and he deals with it in that immature way. I'm not 100% sold on that, but I would trade any Jazz player for him, and roll the dice. Great risk, great reward. Better than the middling team we currently have.

Very large chance it would end up being a trainwreck. No thanks, and i do not want to cheer for a 25 year old child.

That's cool and I don't blame you.
He's my friend so I'm biased. I get that.
It's one thing to hang out for BBQ's vs. having to coach him in-game and manage his locker room presence.

Having said that, I got to see UP CLOSE how well Calipari and John Wall thrived with him and to this day, Kentucky fans consider him an all time favorite.....


... having said that, all us that love him also wish he'd stop his bitch-whining ALL DAMN GAME.

But, he's a GREAT guy (really) with a huge heart and a tremendous talent... He's simply kid-like on the court and it's frustrating.

I would take him at almost any price.
 
Not suggesting it makes any sense, but I only see one of three landing spots;

1) stay in SAC (I don't think so)
2) Lakers (can't say why - not that I agree it's smart)
3) a small mkt
