Hypothetical: What is the most you would give up for Cousins?

i'm just gonna put this here:

56 pts game:

48 pts game:


No way they are giving us Cousins now, we should've gotten him when\if the price was low

 

Big IF there^ , especially with Vlade in the fold.

Regardless, there are some players I just don't want on my team. Take Westbrook for example, I don't care how good he is, I could never root for him.

 

Why? Their not trouble makers with the law. Hardly anything close to even the jail Blazers. The play with incredible intensity that's border line insane with how competitive they are..

I love players like that on my team that will run thru a brick wall to get a W.. I don't know why that's a bad thing

 

Cousins is phenomenal. Yet he has never made the playoffs. So if we give up a lot to get him, would we make the playoffs in the last two years of his contract? He has also never been a free agent. When he becomes one, you have to believe he will be courted by everyone. The chances of him staying in Portland become low. Then what happens to Dame after Cousins leaves and we have little to show for the trade?

Bottom line is Cousins is not going anywhere unless Sacramento gets a King's ransom for him. And we do not have enough to trade for him and win afterwards. Our only chance is for Cousins to implode. I guess it is still possible.

 

Sacto should trade him while he's hot.

 

I guess I just don't want to spend my hard earned money and time rooting for people I don't like.

 

Is there anyone in the NBA that people in this forum do like or think are Portland worthy. I hear a lot of delusional trash talked about some awesome players in this forum.

 

I have to think that SAC will trade him in the last year of his contract AT THE LATEST. There's no way he's going to re-sign with them. But if they wait that long they'll get less in return.

 

It's just homers being homers. A lot of the same people were desperate to hold onto Aldridge, and he's a cancerous piece of human garbage as well. If he had started out his career on another team, I doubt those same people would have wanted him.

 

I like Anthony Davis. I'd also take Durant, but he has to sign as a free agent.

 

Why don't you like him?

 

He's not Portland worthy.

 

I think some people forget what Sheed was like.

 

I never forget, had season tickets next to his wife. Maybe that's why I dislike knuckleheads. With the proper attitude he could have got us a ring.

 

Sheed's passion and fire made him the player that he was. We went to two WCF with Sheed. If we weren't trying to make him our best player, I think we would have won a championship. This is Dame's team, and I think Cousins could work here.

 

DINGDINGDINGDINGDING! WE HAVE A WINNER!

 

You spent your hard earned money rooting for LaMarcus Aldridge. What's so different?

 

Sheed's passion and fire were undercut by the fact that he was a selfish child who cost the Blazers so much more than he ever gave them.

 

Aldridge isn't a cancerous piece of human garbage.

 

Really? Everything we've heard since he left says otherwise. He was a selfish, egotistical, crybaby diva. He left this team that drafted and developed him with nothing. I think he's the very definition of cancerous piece of human garbage. What do you have against Boogie? I want examples.
