Should Blazers have any interest in DeMacus Cousins should he become available?..

[BigGameDamian]

If so what would you be willing to give up? Would you give up Freeland or Leonard+ for him?

Yes. Freeland+ easy. Leonard+ probably.

A total no-brainer.

Cousins equals big risk big reward

Freeland and Leonard equal no risk no reward

Exactly. That's why I wouldn't touch him with a 10' pole.

Demarcus Cousins immediately makes us a legitimate playoff threat + more. Are you kidding me? I'd give up anyone not named Damian, Lamarcus, Batum.

How's that worked out for the Kings?

A couple of days ago I was thinking the same thing.....Leonard and Freeland is what i would offer. I doubt they would want Wes or JJ, and I would not offer Batum, Lillard or LMA. So we don't have much left they need. They have good role players, they just don't have a leader.

Hes easily their best player. On PDX he'd have Lillard, Aldridge, and Batum who are all near his level. I suspect it might take Batum to land him though... At least you've got an elite SG in Wes.

I know what you mean though. Cousins is an idiot and a loser, but he'd be 2nd banana at best on Portland. Hes probably better off on a team with more veterans and leaders and a stronger coaching presence, but it would be a high risk high reward move and you'd add a major talent who fits Damian's window.

But the Blazers have leaders on there roster and the Blazers have Jared Jeffries who will call players out in the locker room.

It will be interesting to see where he lands. I predict some where good with a super star who can handle him.
Miami could offer Bosh, Boston could offer Sullinger and Fab, Brooklyn could offer Lopez, Houston has all types of young talent. Utah would never do it but they have lots of big men to offer him. Minnesota...you never know what Kahn would offer.

The general rule seems to be that you can win big only as long as you have 1 or fewer boneheads on your team. We have zero boneheads right now, so I am in favor of obtaining Cousins as long as it's on the cheap.

Id take cousins on but I wouldn't offer any of wes/batum/lillard/la for him. Which of course means we wouldn't get him.
