Hypothetical: What is the most you would give up for Cousins?

[Blazinaway]

easy, nothin because he's too much of a head case, move on

 

[Chris Craig]

A Duran Duran record, Coach the complete series on DVD, a big Mac, and a magic 8 ball that's stuck on not likely

Actually I ate the Big Mac...sorry

Anything.

The goal should be teaming up Dame/DMC.

Man talk about polarizing. Wonder what Neil thinks

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Edit*

The goal should be to team up Dame/DMC/Plumlee

Plumlee's ability to pass, especially from the high-post, he'd be a great fit next to DMC.

What about CJ? DeMarcus has the same TS% as LaMarcus http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/statistics/_/sort/trueShootingPct/page/5 So even when you take DeMarcus high number of FTs per game into account, he's still the 219th out of 324 players in offensive efficiency.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Dame/Leonard for Cousins/McLemore/pick.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Under Karl he's taking so many jumpers and even drifting to the three.

 

[H.C.]

Boogie is prolly the most talented big in the league right now.
However he's shown zero improvement from Kansas in teams of basketball knowledge.
Shaq is a partial owner in the Kings... can't tell me he doesn't talk to the man.
If you aren't going to listen to one of the best big men to ever play the game. You aren't going to listen to anyone.
The Kings/Dubs game last night was a close game. Then Boogie blew his head when he got his 5th, getting ejected with 8minutes+ left in the 3rd.
Dubs won by 19....

Not a huge Nards fan but Nards has shown that he can keep his head when teams go at him.
I mean the Cavs game he took three shots to the face/neck area and in the kings game he took a shot to the jaw.
If those same plays happened to Boogie I don't believe he'd keep his cool.
This is the same guy who was waiting for announcers in the parking lot after a game because they said something about him.
Supremely talented, but a mental midget.

TLDR I don't want him on a team I root for.

Isn't that what Cousins has been asking for all along? He prefers to play PF. Doesn't really like to bang down low despite his size. Much like LMA. Has been asking for a shot blocker to play next to since he was a rookie.

 

[ThugginPaulyGAllen]

I'd do everything in my power to keep Dame/CJ/Cousins. Ideally, I'd like to hang on to Aminu as well.

I think we have to bring a 3rd team in, trade them Kaman/Hendo for salary relief, probably auction off a player such as Meyers/Vonleh for picks, package that DMC.

Cousins would shift my stance on tanking, that's for sure though.

He'd flip the script that's for sure

 

[jlprk]

Cousins would be more subdued here than there. There's something about Portland that unsharpens its players' attitudes. That's a plus and a minus.

He'd fit in better than you think.

Is your dream front line Boogie, JJ, and TRob? Be honest!

Yea, people forget that Kamen was considered a problem maker as well as an angry dumbass.
In Portland he is the perfect teammate and gets along great with the coach.

You have pushed me into a new advocacy! Reggie Theus should be our coach.

 

[jlprk]

The Kings have been nothing since Theus was their coach.

 

[Blazers Roy]

The Kings should just send Boogie and someone over 25 in their roster to the Lakers for Randle,Clarkson and their 1st round pick.
If they do that they will have an actual future with at least 4 legit future starters (Stein,Randle,draft pick,Clarkson,their own draft pick).

Oh well.

 

[BBert]

Wow. I didn't realize how much Theus set that franchise back. As usual, you are a font of wisdom.

 

[jlprk]

Can a Photoshop expert here make the Beatles sing, "All we need is Reggie Theus."

 

[Sinobas]

Under Karl he's taking so many jumpers and even drifting to the three.

Is that George Karl's fault though? I know George likes his players to attack the rim. I remember a game when the Nuggets didn't even take one outside shot against us till ike 30 seconds left in the game. I hear that Karl doesn't like Cousins.

If he's shooting outside under Karl, what do you think will happen with Terry "stretch 4 shooting fetish" Stotts?

 

[Sinobas]

"Umm coach Stotts, I'd like to take 15 jumpers a game...to pull the defense out and give a driving lane for Damian. "

"Ooooh, Terry likie! Terry LIKIE!"

Cousins' shot chart this season:
http://vorped.com/1-nba/2015-2016/player/910/demarcus-cousins/shotchart/

Not awful. I just have the feeling he would player better alongside CJ than Dame. Unfortunately there no scenario were we keep both guards and land him.

I don't know, they have Rondo and Collison at the point, maybe they would want Crabbe. (Went to Cal.....)

I really like Crabbe and would hate to lose him, but a Crabbe, Aminu, Plumlee and one more big ( Leonard/Davis or Vonleh) is a scenario that I would take if I were Sacramento. I am not sure Cousins deserves much more than that. He has been ejected 10 times, assessed 77 technical fouls and issued six suspensions (five by league/one by team). Can you really depend on this guy?

 

[selloutking]

I donno, how's that stack up against sheed's numbers?

 

[Rhal]

I'd offer one of two packages CJ/Henderson/Plumlee, or Crabbe/Vonleh/Plumlee/Davis. The thought of Leonard playing C with a beast of Cousins at the PF where they can't double him ever or he kicks it out to Leonard or an open guard makes me drool.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I go back and fourth on this. I compare him to LMA in a way. I wanted LMA to stay in Portland, but I wanted him to be the 3rd option on offense. And be happy about it. That would have made us real contenders.

If we got Cousins, would we really want to run the offense through him? Slowing everything down? Having him as the 3rd option after Dame and CJ would be awesome. But would he ever go for that? I think he would....for about 2 weeks.

NOTHING! Dude is a cancer.

hahahahahahahahaha! I saw him saying that with this face:

 

[Blazers Roy]

Was there ever a person who didn't get along with Terry Stotts?
I'm trying to picture somebody having a fight with him, but i can't.
