    Sure go to the conference finals and have him throw a towel in Dames face when he doesn't get his way...Sure that works.

    No, there was NO leader. Not even Pippen.

    Ever seen Cousins act that way with someone he respects?

    He would fall the fuck in line

    I'd find it hard to root for Cousins, but I guess "Winning cures all."

    He's not a winner in Sacramento. I'd like to say it would be different in Portland, but changing coaches and players in Sacramento didn't seem to help. Same old Boogie.

    Cousins is considered a thug, has 14 Ts on the year. Green has 13, but isn't considered a thug. Winning cures all.

    The year Detroit won it, they won because they played as a team, they didn't have anyone that was a "super star". It was a bunch of #2 or #3 options playing well together. Yet they were full of guys considered to be "thugish". Just cause you are a hot head doesn't mean you will kill a locker room.

    Man, if I hired a guy to put a roof on my house I'd pick the best guy I could find. "Thug" (why not just say the n word?) or not.

    Is the guy an axe murderer or dog killer?

    Does Meyers watch Cousins play and say to himself

    "Dagnabbit, I can't do any of those things but I'm sooooooo nice"

    Bring that guy to Portland and help him. It's a win win.

    I told you guys when Neil went after Kanter and some of you complained to no end, adding a player in the NBA is kinda like going out clubbing looking for the perfect girl:
    At first you want the prettiest girl who is not a psycho, later you want A pretty girl and you dont ask too many questions, but if you're too picky you WILL end the night with the ugliest girl in the club AT BEST.

    Now, i don't want to say Mayers is that girl, but, you know...

    You know for a long time i really was on the fence because i always want to give a guy another chance and i do feel sometimes that they just need another environment. But unless they can get him for next to nothing which might be the case with the way things are going i just don't see the Blazers taking a chance on a guy like that.
    The one thing that stands out about that list is it does seem a bit media driven. Cousins might be a great locker room guy and he might very well be a missing link but what happens if they give up Plumlee and Meyers and a couple of picks to get him and he totally destroys the chemistry and wastes 2 or 3 Years of Lillard? That is just too high a price to pay for a mistake like that. It could go very very wrong.

    Yeah but if i know she is a psycho then i tend to stay away just because...well....I know she is a PSYCHO. Even a chick that is great in bed ain't worth that bro. she will key your car on the way out when she finds out you once dated her old best friend or are from Pittsburgh or some stupid crap?

    It depends. I think Boogie is about 7/10 crazy, that is relatively manageable.

    When you think about it, Rodman was like 9.9/10 crazy and it worked out great for Chicago.

    I like the 7/10 crazy idea. Is there like a graph or something that you can get a reading off of? Maybe a hand held crazy measuring meter device?

    Yeah thats basically how I look at it. If we signed Cousins as a free agent and could see how it works without giving up assets sure give him a shot. But the cost to acquire him is going to be very significant; and there's a ton of risk it backfires.

    I do the math in my head, if he starts dating a Kardashian or color his hair everyday than i'm gonna have to re-calculate.

    Yeah thats a good example. Rodman was defensive player of the year and a multi-time champion so he had accomplished far more than Cousins. Rodman was acquired via trade for Will Perdue. If we only have to give up Will Perdue sure go kick the tires on Cousins.

    That would be like trading Kaman for Cousins right now. But the cost to acquire Cousins will be multiple young players and multiple first round picks. Possibly CJ. No effin way!
