What's new

A bit of trade speculation surrounding Cousins...

I think it would warrant some discussion. I think the conclusion they'd come to is ultimately no, though I think they'd ask Mike Krzyzewski and maybe Gordon Hayward what he was like at Team USA. If Cousins is in a winning situation, he might act differently.


I'm not buying that. He's got some psychological issues that will handicap his ability to be a good teammate and a winner.

I think the issues with maturity are real...a bit like Rasheed Wallace or the artist formerly known as Ron Artest. Personally, I don't like his contract.

FWIW, both of those guys won chips... I might be in the minority, but I think i would still actually trade favors for cuz...

Suggest that to David Locke on tip off tomorrow. I would get a kick out of the reaction. I think Locke's most recent quote regarding Cuz was, "I'd trade Cousins for a bag of potatoes. And even then I'm making out like a bandit. A bag of potatoes. You trade cousins for that and you absolutely win that trade."
 
So in this scenario of trading Favors for Boogie, boogie is our PF? So he is out guarding the pick and rolls and the stretch 4s of this league? Our defense would be so awful so fast. Unless you think Rudy is a PF but then he is just taken away from the basket and loses his elite defensive presence at the rim.

Terrible trade idea.

Defense

Favors>>>>>>Cousins

Offense

Favors<Cousins

Which means we get worse as a team if we make the trade straight up. Plus Favors is too nice of a kid to be that mean to send him to Sac hole.

David lives too much in the moment.. if cousins was acquired, he would be riding his jock. Its abundantly clear... Cousins... has top 5 (1st team NBA) potential/talent. He just needs a badass to reign him in and coax it out of him (Coach Q). You need at least 1 1st teamer to win it all.... we don't and wont have that... getting 1st team talent should still be a priority IMO.

04 Pistons have a first teamer? They almost won 2.
