I know the fit isn't as good, but Cousin's fit here is terrible with our current roster, but we've realized he's too talented to pass up. Will NJ realize this also?

How would our secondary moves be effected if we got Favors instead? Something to think about.

There's a difference between us and the Nets though, in that they've already got a Brook Lopez at centre and we don't. Favors fits that team like a glove, there's no way they pass on him to pick up a guy that plays the same position as their best player.

And funk, the reason Love-Jefferson doesn't work is because neither can guard anyone. Cousins at least looks like he could be a good man defender, like a Perkins-type, which Al couldn't do at centre.

^^^ Yep, Nets really need an atheletic defender at PF spot next to Lopez that can rebound the ball, and Favors really fits their need. Why bother with Cuz who's similar player to Lopez and has character concerns.

Cousin's height was where we expected, his reach and wingspan is bigger than I even thought. Wow 9'5 is the same as Lopez.

He is a fatty.

The kind of scary thing is that everybody who saw him commented that he slimmed down noticeably, and still checked in at 292.
"A while back,'' Cardinal said, "I took a picture of the standings and texted it to Love, just to bust his chops,'' Cardinal said. "He sent me a picture back of a snowdrift.''

The funny thing is watching how different their shoes impact their size. Davis measures at 6-9 and grows half an inch, Cousins at 6-9.5 and grows 1.25inches and Aldrich, who measured shorter then Cousins at 6-9, grows a whopping 2.25inches when he slips his shoes on. I think we all need to put in for a pair of Aldrich high heels for Cousins.
