Call me a homer a thousand times

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Cousins seems to be on a path of becoming Al Jefferson with the added ability of being able to get to the FT line.

He still sucks on defense, he still has a questionable attitude, still takes bad shots, still isn't mentally tough. I just don't see him being a key piece to a good team. I see him being a great player on a crappy team.

Favors is going to be a defensive monster, which is always a piece on good teams. He may not be an offensive threat, but he will at least be a All-Defensive team caliber PF.

So as long as Favors is not traded for Cousins we have your blessing?

Re-read his username...he's not actually the coach.

True, but he seems to be the most "opinionated anti-everyone else" poster that we have. He will fight you to the death if he disagrees with you.

I see what you mean, but he's also a better rebounder, more athletic, MUCH higher ceiling, and just has that "it" thing going for him.

There's no way I'd take him over Favors, but I'd be willing to part with anyone else.

And Cousins is far from a finished product. Or is young and inexperienced enough that you can say that.

I got a PM from PKM. It all sounds reasonable to me, but to be clear, there is no trade imminent.

These lips are sealed.

What's the difference between a donkey and Dalamon?

Ones an ***. The other is a donkey.

Squeezing rep out of the 1%ers pockets too I see. Not that I'm surprised, oh heavens no.

You're Canadian. Your opinion doesn't matter.

I have no idea whether this thread is about anything remotely connected to reality, but since it's returned slightly to the topic of Cousins's prospects, I just thought I'd throw this in:

It's by a Sacramento blogger and tries to find player comparisons to get an idea of where someone who starts his career with as low a FG% as Cousins and as high a usage might be headed. The names he comes up with as comparisons aren't that pretty.
