Ten reasons why we don't want to trade for DeMarcus Cousins

[Dougnsalem]

I don't give a crap how good the guy is....

[Dougnsalem]

Boogie style???

 

[Dougnsalem]

Hey Sly, can you change the title from "we", to "I" please? I can only speak for myself here..... Thanks, and I'll pay the $10 change fee. (in cans)

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Not.

Swayed.

Nah, I'd say you speak for many. Would much rather role the dice with Vonleh developing than trading assets for the Boogie man.

I'm all in with Vonleh, AND Uncle Festus. Honestly, I could be an idiot, but I have my most hope in those two. (and E.T.- once he gets some time playing with the team....)

 

[Wizard Mentor]

I agree with the OP. If we get Boogie, management might force him to wear ugly uniforms like Sacramento did.... shudder.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Just keep developing!

I'm not a DMC fan BUT Sheed led the league in techs and he got us closer to a title than any other big man in the last 25 seasons.

But we're to afraid it will create chemistry issues.

 

[PDXFonz]

I'm often surprised at how much boogie sells himself for some rebounds. There are times when you'd think he's some scrub fighting for minutes with the way he gets after it. I really wish you could be 100% sure of the chemistry fit, there's no denying that he would be an upgrade at the 5.

How come we loved Przybilla for starting a near-fight in every game?

 

[BonesJones]

Damian seems cool with him off the floor, and if Damian wants him here, then I trust him. He'd know better than all of us what it would mean to have him here.

 

[dviss1]

Damian MUTHAFUCKIN' Lillard.

He. Will. Fall. In. Line.

Very true. However, Dame is cool with DeAndre Jordan "off the floor" too.

And? I'd love DeAndre here, he'd be perfect. Yeah, he's a guy you hate when he's not on your team but he plays with an edge and I can respect that.

 

[Pinwheel1]

For me it not about having DMC on the team, it'a about what you give up to get him. He would make us better if we still had a team left to surround him. I think he would thrive in a winning environment with Dame AND CJ. But he has also showed he is no super star. He can't carry a team on his own. Not many centers can these days. So any trade offers for him has to make sense on our end. Don't gamble away our future for him or it will bite us in the ass. He is not dependable enough. In other words No CJ or Dame in the trade. If Sac laughs at us......so be it.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Geeze. Ok, maybe he was a bad example. DeAndre could be ok here? Maybe? Maybe not? Hell, I don't know.... I do know we have had plenty of whiners in the past, and it's kind of refreshing to not have any on this team now. Damn refreshing.... Yeah, Sheed was AWESOME to have, but DMC, isn't Sheed.

Because he was righteous!

 

[jlprk]

How many of you Meyers Leonard fans love him because you see the next Joel Przybilla? Don't be shy! Raise your hands and shout Hallelujah!

 

[fumanchu]

You could give me a thousand reasons, but outside of trading Dame or CJ, I would happily give up any 5 players on our team for DMC.

McCollum has potential to be a consistent shooter, but so far he's just a top-notch dribbler. As I have posted since his first Summer League game, "He is no Lillard." But 5 of our top 6 players is too expensive. How about 2, plus someone further down the roster.

 

[Blazers Roy]

We don't need THIS crying fuck either:

 

[Blazers Roy]

And for those of you who think he's a bad teammate:
He let Omri Casspi drag him to Israel in the summer...he endured 17 hours flight so he can participate in Omri's stuff at Israel including a meet with a local youth club at 9AM.

Show me when Lamarcus did anything like that, mofo didn't even bother coming back with the rest of the team after a playoff lost.

DeAndre's a whiner partly because of the team he plays for. And I think we need more whiners because we seem to just allow refs to fuck us with no complaint.

He was consistent all of last year when he shot 42% from three, way better efficiency than any of Lillards years.

You have a valid point, after watching our game against the Clippers. I don't enjoy watching players act like that though. I want to see them man up, and earn their millions by playing hard, and being accountable if they foul someone. Not get touched, and then flop.



If they're on our team, or not....

Understand and respect your opinion, but I truly think Doc and CP3 are contaminating influences. Here, Stotts and Dame provide huge positive reinforcement.
