Best destination for Cousins?

Oh man.... If he becomes a Free-Agent I wish the Magic would pick him up!

As a Magic fan I would lose my mind if we got him.

Nikola Vucevic & Demarcus Cousins on the front line....

That would be amazing

Obviously the Spurs is a good destination for just about any player. I like him in Charlotte, but I don't think the chemistry would be right for him to grow as a player there.

I've always seen Atlanta as a forward-friendly team, and I think he'd do decent there. Possibly throw in something and trade for Josh Smith?

Two other places I think he'd be good are Chicago and Memphis, but with Boozer & Noah for CHI, and Gasol & Z-Bo in MEM, there doesn't seem to be much room for him there.

You need a pretty strong coach, a Pop/Pat Riley. Spurs obviously would be a great fit, I just don't see how that would happen though.

If Bulls got cousins than boozer would be in the dumpster. He would def get a lot of playing time.

Keep him in Sactown and then hope for a top 3 pick. cody zeller and Cousins will be 'zbo-marc gasol 2.0'

A team that wouldn't ask him to be a volume scorer or use him in isolations. He needs to take a lesser role to be an effective player.

If Houston can bring up the value of Motiejunas/Jones/Royce I would love to see Cousins in Houston. A Lin/Harden/Parsons/Cousins/Asik lineup is mildly terrifying.

1. Celtics
2. Spurs
3. Cavaliers

Just trying to think of a team that isn't spurs / celtics.

Denver swap for JaValee cos you couldn't mix them. They have skilled vets that he can use as role models and the coach will bench him if he isn't doing what he should.

Nah, there's nobody on the Thunder with enough personality to keep him in check. As much as I dislike the Celtics, I think that would be the best place for him.

I disagree with this statement. I think Cousins would be a good fit with the Thunder, and we already have WB & KD to help DC to his full potential. If THABEET can learn why can't Cousins? And btw OKC is a winning culture so this will motivate Cousins to stay focus.

It could very well end up disastrous but I'd be interested seeing him in D.C reunited with John Wall.

If we hire a respected coach who demands accountability, get a good draft pick this year and add in Cousins, we might have the makings of a pretty good team (Wall/Beal/(Muhammed?)/Nene/Cousins -- I like it!).

Washington is actually a good spot. Him and Wall would be great together. Then you have Beal.

My picks would be Chicago and Minnesota. Mainly the Bulls though since they have a stud leader at PG, a top center that compliments Cousins, and a defensive philosophy that could mold Cousins into an elite 2 way player.Thibs and Adelman are well respected coaches. Rockets are a wildcard. I would like to think Mchale would turn Cousins into a beast with all his moves he could teach. Spurs and Celtics are no brainers.

Boston next to KG.

imo its the fracnhise thats killing its players game not the other way around. as much as sacramento deserves a team i think both parties would be better off just cutting ties. clean shop and move to seattle. new owner,gm and coaching staff.

Dallas Mavericks will feel welcomed and well coached from top to bottom. Ownership will have his back but hold him accountable and can gather knowledge from Dirk.

Rockets at PF.

He's what they need, and he'd be apart of a great culture.

Complete homer bias, but he's what the doctor ordered at the 4-spot for us.

Asik
Cousins
Parsons
Harden
Lin

If we can manage to deal them some young players though. We don't have a very intriguing offer to sell.
