Slow down there he has a much higher ceiling than LMA but by no means is he better than him right now

The post moves
The midrange game
The calm vet
The attitude
The toughness
The University of Kentucky heritage
The Longhorn legacy
GOAT?

He's pretty good, but he's no Dirkeem Olajuwitzki.

Well, he's better this year, i mean, he scores more efficiently, he still has a long way to go as an impact player. The Kings have some nice young(ish) talent though, maybe they can make a run this year.

Melo+Big Baby?

Haha, good one.

On a serious sidenote, i don't think that would be a very efficient "hybridisation".

In all honestly might not be that big of a difference

Big Baby's girth + Melo's speed. GOAT

Carmelo Baby? Is that how he gained the weight?

James James though (James Harden / LeBron James hybrid)

Anthony Anthony (Anthony Davis + Melo Anthony) would be quite good, IMO?

Anyway back to the topic, yeah Marcus Cousin played really well for the Kyoto Hannaryz, they were able to knock the off the defending champs, the Ryukyu Golden Kings. He'll probably be a BJ League Hall of Famer in the future.

Not really...portland has a better team and compliment each other better... Move aldrige to sac and he won't win that much as well... Portland had a bad record last year as well... Im not saying cuz is better than lamarcus right now but the team records is not what seperates them...its good to have wins but it also helps that they have a much better team..

Tave · Post #33 » by **Tave** » Wed Dec 11, 2013 6:07 pm

I disagree. What helps is that LMA "gets it." He conducts himself like a professional and doesn't hamstring his team with immature, childish antics. When you look at Demarcus' stats, go ahead and just cut them in half, because his piss-poor attitude eats up most of his production.

The problem with Lamarcus Cousins is his crappy TS%

See how I covered both with one response?

I think DCousins will have a Zach Randolph like career. One day he'll mature and find a team that he fits into and has some good years in. But it will happen later in his career.

I think people have forgotten all the shady illegal stuff Z-Bo was involved in earlier in his career.
Cousins can be immature and temperamental at times but I don't know about him engaging in illegal off-the-court activities.

DeMarcus doesn't have Nicolas Batum, Damian Lillard and Wesley Matthews.

I much prefer Karmoseem Abill-Jarussemalobar.
