DeMarcus Cousins? 

Post#1 » by AdonisDeMarion » Mon Feb 11, 2019 1:53 am

I would do my best to grab him if I could for cheaper than the max. I would pair him with McGee as his back up but I would love to see him here. Another thing do you think he could command a max deal right now?

If they can sign a max swing player, DMC could be a good complementary get IMO. But it depends on how the season plays out for him, and terms.

I was on of the very few on here who wouldn't mind having him on the roster "ON THE CHEAP" But after seeing him VS us in the GSW game a big no thanks.

As someone else stated in the game thread "his still a big child" and the way he acted after dunking on King kuz was wrong - especially when he got blocked by Hart LOL"s

He is also still butt hurt that we didn't get him when he was Injured. I mean really? YOu're being that much butt hurt while Injured - what you expect milk and cookies?

But yeh I voted NO even though I was one of very few who wanted him.

I still think we'll offer him something, if we can't get any top FA's though.

But I have a strong feeling last couple days that we'll wind up with AD and Kyrie

Not a fan given the current roster composition. Additionally there’s always been a question of Boogie’s actual impact vs his numbers. If we didn’t have LeBron I’d likely be more interested but given that we do have LeBron, not so much.
Numbers rule the universe.

I reluctantly voted yes, but he probably wont be the same player and his impact on wins is essentially zero.

No one is taking less than the max this summer. There are far too many slots and not enough players to fill them.

No. Watching his tantrums on the floor is quite annoying.

No thanks. We do have problems but he is not the solution.

Doesn't look like the same player; coupled with bad attitude, easy pass.

Cousins is a child... He'd be horrible on this team with LeBron and other personalities.

Only player throughout the years that would make me think about not being a fan of the team while he’s on the roster.
