Any Chance we can go for Cousins in the Offseason?

Muscle is a soft tissue injury. I guess you don't know that. They heal. They heal completely.

I tore my calf muscle at 25 years old, they heal but I can tell you this it has never once felt the same. 8 Years later and I still feel it when I work out.

Yes, and the black knight had a flesh wound. I understand the difference between degrading meniscus and a torn muscle, but not all soft tissue injuries are the same. Tell Charles Barkley that a torn quad is just a soft tissue injury and see what he says.

It's bad yes. But he will play at a high level again. Of that there are very few that would think otherwise. Now on to the point. No i do not want Cousins playing for the Blazers so on that we would agree i'm sure.

 

[James lamphear]

Well he starting become injury prone. Big heavy guys get hurt a lot due to the weight they carry.

My answer to the OP: I hope not.

Then you don't remember what went on or maybe you were not old enough to have been around and feel the ramifications to what he did around here.
Maybe you only value playoff wins? To this day he drags the Portland TrailBlazers through the mud. He has absolutely nothing good to say about the city.
Billips and Brown said he was the piece that moved them over the hump and got them a chip. Not "The Reason" they won. Big difference. If Kanter plays well enough to help this team get the the WCF. Are you gonna say he was the reason? Or are you gonna call it a team effort that Dame lead and Kanter was a huge part of? CJ? Maybe Curry and Hood?
When they lose how will you respond if lets say Aminu throws a fit and a towell in Kanters face because he is demanding more touches? Seriously Sheed was not helping the Blazers when he was here.

I remember everything. I was 26 in 2000. Quite old enough. I liked Sheed the whole time he played for us and was glad he won in Detroit.

Uhhhh. No.

Because of a soft tissue injury? So I guess hamstring injuries are off the table also?

No because the most we could offer is $8.9M, but that would require some cap gymnastics. Meanwhile, GS can offer him $7M no matter what. The only way he makes that little though is if he's out for a good portion of next season. If that's the case, he makes little sense for us due to Nurk and him being out and returning around the same time, and playing the same position. But he shouldn't miss any of next year, so he'll get an offer way above what we can offer. A team like New York, or either LA team, or a team like Sacremento or Atlanta will give him a decent payday, maybe as a trial with cap space they otherwise wouldn't use. I don't think Cousins would want to compete for Center minutes when he returned for us, and at this point, Nurkic is probably just as good as him.

Not really the conversation at all but sure.

No need to crow about it. I'm sure there are others besides just me that prefer to remain unsullied by that show. Plus, it'd take a lot more than a night's watch for me to catch up.

I tried hard to watch that show. Couldn't take it after the first 5 or so episodes.

Mind if I ask what kind of shows do you typically enjoy?

Don't listen to @dviss1 on this one!

Be careful how you answer this question? This place will run with it!

Looks like photoshop to me.

Are you some kind of photoshop expert? Where's your evidence that it's photoshopped? I want to see the metadata!

 

[Labinot41]

Update: just my oppinion, i still dont see any team that gives Cousins a big Deal this Summer, i think he has to make again a 1 year deal with less money than he expected, all i know is that we were interested in him last year and we need a Center since we dont know how long Nurkgoat will be out, he's good friend of Dame and he knows he doesn't fit in the Warriors System, he should be a Target this offseason with the MLE

 

[James lamphear]

Cousins won't take the MLE and the problems with bigs start getting injured there injury after injury. Love is injured every year and Shaq was injured every year toward end his career too. The problem they carry a lot of weight on them and that's take toll on the bones of your body.
