Chicago Bulls calling about Demarcus Cousins?

[knoxville7]

cousins is not a top 10 player in the league, he is a headcase, and he wouldn't fit the offense hoiberg wants to run....but other than that its a great idea

 

[clonetrooper264]

Well he is more mobile than Gasol so...there's that?

 

[Scoot26]

Well he is more mobile than Gasol so...there's that?

Yes, but Gasol also doesn't fit.

 

[Enasic]

How doesn't Cousins fit? He's a mobile big man who can shoot the mid-range, play up tempo, and score a lot of points.

They have him shooting 3s too.

Miami isn't giving up Winslow. It would be extremely stupid of them to do it. Winslow was an absolute steal at his draft position. I was shocked they were able to get him. This guy is a player and is going to be very good in the next couple of seasons.

 

[knoxville7]

yeah I was shocked to see he is shooting 4 of those per game this season all of a sudden. not sure its what you want your center doing but whatever lol

He was stroking them to start the year lol. He's got a better stroke than Rose...though that's not saying much.

Winslow was a great pick but would you say he's untouchable? For a guy like Cousins? D. Wade and Riley want a ring before the band breaks up. I don't think they're going to wait on Winslow for a few seasons to figure it out. I don't think he'll ever be a number 1 guy on a championship team anyway.

Have every watched him play? He is not mobile. He has some of the worst lateral quickness in the league. He is terrible in pick and roll defense. My guess is you don't watch Kings games and never have.

 

[czman]

No doubt. We would still need another 2nd/3rd tier free agent signing as well as to hit on our next draft pick. It would be really nice if snell could start playing more like the last game too.

As far as garpax goes, I think they're going all in for cousins. If they don't get him it won't be for a lack of trying. Boston and Miami both have really good pieces. We won't be able to match Boston's draft picks. Also Miami could offer up whiteside and Winslow.

I don't think you know how NBA trade rules actually work.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Rumor has it Dwight Howard is going to Miami.

Eventually that pud will stop being referred to as a superstar.

 

[Scoot26]

Eventually that pud will stop being referred to as a superstar.

Thought he already was? He hasn't exactly done anything star worthy while in Houston.

No idea how true this is obviously, but it has popped up in the last 24 hours on numerous sites. No idea on what a trade would look like either but count me in if we can find a way to get Boogie.

Ugh. Count me out. You expect a rookie coach like Freddie to be able to deal with that guy's horseshit?

Lol, that's a pretty terrible guess.

To start, Fred or "Hoiball" is more about offense than it is defense. Fred wants to get out and run, which Boogie can do (certainly better than Pau lol), space the floor for a C, and can score in a variety of ways. Is he a great defender? No. At least he's not soft though.

 

[The Hawk]

Well he is more mobile than Gasol so...there's that?

So is Betty White

 

[Enasic]

Ugh. Count me out. You expect a rookie coach like Freddie to be able to deal with that guy's horseshit?

I don't think coaching experience means anything when it comes to handling Boogie. It's more about the type of personality the coach has. Karl is a veteran coach. How's that working out in Sacramento? Fred has the laid back, caring, personal style that would work well with DeMarcus, IMO.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

He also didn't get along well with Mike Malone, who didn't take long to get a new job.

 

[Axl Rose]

Ugh. Count me out. You expect a rookie coach like Freddie to be able to deal with that guy's horseshit?

he dealt with Royce White who is a bipolar skizo with crippling anxiety problems

 

[Enasic]

I don't deny that Cousins has his issues, but I think playing on a winning time with a guy like Jimmy and most likely one of Gasol/Noah will go a long way. Fred is more of a players coach then anyone Cousins has played with. Will it be all sunshine and roses? Probably not...but he'll add wins.
