CJ as part of a trade for Cousins?

I'd give CJ a piggy back ride and walk him to Sacramento for Cousins. Is this real life?
 
I MIGHT trade CJ for Boogie, but only if...
1) Boogie says he'll re-sign.
2) We also get Gay
3) We have exhausted all other non-CJ options.

Really, our first priority is to see how good of a player we can get for non-CJ/Dame Blazers.

I would love to be wrong and we somehow landed him. He's got exceptional talent. If he isn't a distraction and actually can lead, he would be a perfect fit with Dame IMO

If we do land Cousins, the absolute last thing I want him doing is leading anything. Look where that's gotten SAC. I'd want him FOLLOWING Dame's lead.

I think they're hurt or play not enough minutes to qualify for top 40 in scoring.

Monroe filled out the stat sheet pretty nicely last season. His defense is so terrible the team doesn't want to play him anymore. But he seems like a reasonable candidate that's getable. If all you want is a scoring big.

Okafor is a stud. I would love to see us get him. Wherever he ends up, they're going to be in good shape for years. 17.5PPG (last year) seems "elite" to me.

I can see Okafor. Not sold on Monroe for the defensive shortcomings you mentioned.
 
Okafor has very similar defensive shortcomings as Monroe.
 
No matter the deal offered by the Kings. I would not trade for DMC.
I believe anyone who wants DMC, doesn't get to watch him often enough to see what he does on the court that hurts his team on both ends.
The early season matchup with Portland was a prime example of why DMC is the main factor to the Kings being a loosing organization.
But the Pro-DMC people will ignore what he did late in that game that directly led to the Portland win.
Nevermind the cancer he is to the Kings lockeroom.

sooo....you going to explain what it is?
 
I was ready to take a chance on Cousins, hoping that Dame and team would be able to keep him in line. But watching that video of him leaving the nightclub with that douche bag Barnes...I'm having second thoughts.

barns has always been a total cock. I think DMC's attitudes and actions directly reflect the people around him. as said many times over, you put a guy like that around dame and cj for extended periods and I think you see a flip in they way he carries himself.

dude what?
last I checked cuz was the reason that game went to OT, then he was the reason they stayed close in OT. and they had not one, but two chances at taking the lead or tying the game for a second OT.

video for reference

That Lillard guy is pretty good.

CJ missed Harkless on a fast break in regulation that might have sealed the game.

That foul on Dame on the slide was straight up NBA ca 2000-2002 rigged playoffs level bullshit.

If somebody could watch that video, and think it was Cousins fault that they lost.... Fuck it lol.
 
There isn't a person outside of Portland, or maybe Ohio, that thinks CJ is better than the All-NBA, All-Star, completely dominating, 29 point, 10 rebound, Demarcus Cousins.

We would be lucky to get Cousins, for CJ. The only reason they would ever do that, is because they don't want him to leave like Aldridge, left us.

Cousins, makes Aldridge, look like a fucking scrub.

I saw that lol. I wonder why he only took 8 shots.

It was against minny right? I wonder if their bigs just gave him that much trouble?

And the reason why we won't give up CJ is because we don't want Cousins to leave us like Aldridge did.

That's a valid concern.

I think a Dame/Cousins duo, would be so good, he wouldnt want to leave.

That would arguably be the best duo in the NBA for the next 5 years.

The other top duos:
Steph/KD
Lebron/Kyrie
KAT/Wiggins? - maybe next year.

It sucks that both the cavs and warriors could have multiple duos in that list.

None of that matters. The only stat that counts is he was +1 in his last game. He's no Allen Crabbe.

Hey, you know who else was +1 in his last game? Meyers Leonard!

Quick, Neil get Vlade on the phone.

Do you honestly think it's just a coincidence that Meyers got his first start of the year against SAC? Can you say "showcasing"! In that game: Meyers = +2, Boogie = -1. Maybe we can get them to throw in a future 2nd round pick to even things out.

On that note, Monroe has been averaging 18 min this season, played 22 tonight....

This is a basketball forum, I shouldn't have to explain what is obvious. People need to stop being enamored with stats and see DMC is the reason why the Kings are a losing franchise.
CP3 isn't going to be gifted to the Kings, like he was to the Clippers. DMC won't be saved like Griffin was.

You linked a video that furthers my point.... I can't believe I have to explain this... It's like talking to politics to a die-hard blue, or red...........

He was in the paint and sent the game to OT because he got his big ass in the paint...
However what happened at 7:30... When he's on the perimeter.. Oh that's coaching right...
Okay, so when Nards stripped the ball... He turned and complained to the ref, instead of at least attempt to get the ball... Refs missed the call, DMC prolly wouldn't have got to it... But at least try. How many times did Shaq dive after balls? But coaching.. K...
Then the very next possession in the video.. He shows at 8:03 on Lillard... Which is good no denying it.
However play the video from the time Nards gets the ball, to the time the ref blows the whistle. Don't watch the ball, watch DMC stand there.. Doing exactly what every fan in the arena paid to do. Watch.
He doesn't attempt to help like Crabbe does on the very next possession...
He stands there at the three point line never getting his big ass in the paint.
Best rebounder on the court and he's not going for the board.... Wait that's coaching right?.... K...

Can't fault DMC for the play the Kings ran to get Gay a shot. It was a good shot, DMC was in rebounding position.. Most likely he gets it if Crabbe doesn't come in to help. I give him credit. Just like I gave him credit when he got his ass in the paint and sent it to OT.

Now... Should I talk about DMC settling for a fadeaway three over a 7 footer with 12 seconds left on the clock down by two? Floor spread?...
Hey DMC, ATTACK THE RIM AND GET YOUR BIG ASS IN THE PAINT... Just like you did to send the game to OT, do it again....
But no... You take a contested jab step fadeaway three pointer with a 7 footer in your face, with 12s left on the clock. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THAT DMC?
Or how about the next possession when he once again fades out to the three point line and calls for the ball... Instead of get his big ass IN THE PAINT. To get open or at least a chance to tip it in. It's not like he tied it up by getting his ass in the paint or anything.
DMC is the reason why the Kings have a chance in a lot of games, but he is also the reason why the Kings lose a lot of games.
Anyone who believes otherwise doesn't watch the Kings consistently enough to see what he does to hurt the team. Or they just don't pay attention...

If somebody could watch that video, and ignore the last two minutes of the game where DMC stopped doing what he was doing all game.... Fuck it lol.
 
I'd say no. If we're going to trade CJ, we need something more reliable in return.

But Portland is a defensive mess, and CJ is part of that (as is not really having an interior presense). CJ for Whiteside would be huge.

But at least try. How many times did Shaq dive after balls? But coaching.. K... ACTUALLY HE TRYS TO DRAW THE FOUL, THEN TURNS AND TAKES A QUICK TWO STEPS, SEES THAT DAME AND COLLISON ARE DIVING FOR IT AND SLOWS UP TO BE THE OPEN MAN IF HIS TEAM GETS IT. ONCE THE BALL IS LOOSE HE IS SUDDENLY RIGHT THERE TRYING TO SAVE IT FROM CJ AND HARK

Then the very next possession in the video.. He shows at 8:03 on Lillard... Which is good no denying it.

BY THE TIME HE TURNS AROUND NARDS IS IN THE AIR SHOOTING, SURE HE COULD HAVE RAN IN INCASE IT MISSED SO I'LL GIVE YOU THAT, BUT THE HOLE POINT OF THAT DEFENSIVE PLAY (I WOULD ASSUME) WAS TO KEEP THE BALL OUT OF DAMES HANDS, IF HE LEAVES DAME, NARDS PASSES, OR GETS THE REBOUND AND THEN THE BALL MOVES BACK OUT TO THE PERIMITER HE WOULD BE OUT OF POSITION TO KEEP THE BALL AWAY FROM DAME

Can't fault DMC for the play the Kings ran to get Gay a shot. It was a good shot, DMC was in rebounding position.. Most likely he gets it if Crabbe doesn't come in to help. I give him credit. Just like I gave him credit when he got his ass in the paint and sent it to OT.

HE MAKES THAT SHOT AND THEY TAKE THE LEAD, THE WAY HE FALLS, AND NARDS NEARLY FALLS SAYS TO ME THAT NARDS CLOSED OUT ON THE SHOT AND CAUSED AN OFF BALANCE SHOT FOR DMC. MAYBE HE WAS LOOKING FOR THE FOUL, BUT CLEARLY THEY WANTED TO TAKE THE LEAD.

Or how about the next possession when he once again fades out to the three point line and calls for the ball... Instead of get his big ass IN THE PAINT. To get open or at least a chance to tip it in. It's not like he tied it up by getting his ass in the paint or anything.
AGAIN, THAT LOOKS LIKE DESIGNED PLAY TO TAKE THE LEAD, IT JUST SORT OF DESOLVED. HE SETS A SCREEN AND THEN MOVES OUT TO SPREAD THE FLOOR FOR AN ISO PLAY, WHICH IS INDEED SOMETHING THE BLAZERS ARE BAD AT DEFENDING. HE STAYS AT THE 3 POINT LINE FOR A KICK OUT ON A DRIVE BECUASE HE CAN INFACT SHOOT THE 3. HE EVEN CALLS FOR THE BALL BECAUSE NARDS WAS SAGING OFF HIM ALL THE WAY INTO THE PAINT.
 
I do hope that the mockery came across in my post. I figured the use of "retarded" would do it, but this is the internet where tone and intent are so often lost.

That's why I tried to do you a favor by quoting the original mock-worthy post.

'Cause I care.

Bar fight? I guess no team would want Draymond Greene or Tony Parker then either.

If this were the only mark against DMC - and if he had half the accomplishments of Draymond/Tony - you might have a point.
