    I tore my calf muscle at 25 years old, they heal but I can tell you this it has never once felt the same. 8 Years later and I still feel it when I work out.

    Yes, and the black knight had a flesh wound. I understand the difference between degrading meniscus and a torn muscle, but not all soft tissue injuries are the same. Tell Charles Barkley that a torn quad is just a soft tissue injury and see what he says.

    It's bad yes. But he will play at a high level again. Of that there are very few that would think otherwise. Now on to the point. No i do not want Cousins playing for the Blazers so on that we would agree i'm sure.

    Well he starting become injury prone. Big heavy guys get hurt a lot due to the weight they carry.

    I remember everything. I was 26 in 2000. Quite old enough. I liked Sheed the whole time he played for us and was glad he won in Detroit.

    No because the most we could offer is $8.9M, but that would require some cap gymnastics. Meanwhile, GS can offer him $7M no matter what. The only way he makes that little though is if he's out for a good portion of next season. If that's the case, he makes little sense for us due to Nurk and him being out and returning around the same time, and playing the same position. But he shouldn't miss any of next year, so he'll get an offer way above what we can offer. A team like New York, or either LA team, or a team like Sacremento or Atlanta will give him a decent payday, maybe as a trial with cap space they otherwise wouldn't use. I don't think Cousins would want to compete for Center minutes when he returned for us, and at this point, Nurkic is probably just as good as him.

    I tried hard to watch that show. Couldn't take it after the first 5 or so episodes.

    Are you some kind of photoshop expert? Where's your evidence that it's photoshopped? I want to see the metadata!

    Update: just my oppinion, i still dont see any team that gives Cousins a big Deal this Summer, i think he has to make again a 1 year deal with less money than he expected, all i know is that we were interested in him last year and we need a Center since we dont know how long Nurkgoat will be out, he's good friend of Dame and he knows he doesn't fit in the Warriors System, he should be a Target this offseason with the MLE

    Cousins won't take the MLE and the problems with bigs start getting injured there injury after injury. Love is injured every year and Shaq was injured every year toward end his career too. The problem they carry a lot of weight on them and that's take toll on the bones of your body.
