I knew this was coming.
Would he fit on the Spurs if Sac wanted to get rid of him? maybe trade some of our players? I know he probably still wants to fight Sean Elliott but maybe they can work things out. lol. thoughts?
I knew this was coming.
Would the Kings be willing to trade him? I think he really needs to be on a veteran team.
I have no clue, i mean he is a head case but maybe a coach like pop could guide him.
Even if the Spurs wanted him and were willing to part with something the Kings wanted (Kawhi?) . . . I'd imagine the Kings would demand the Spurs take on Salmons' garbage contract. That would be the deal-killer right there. 33 year old who can't defend and shoots 39% from the field. Making 8 this year and 7.6 next.
No thanks.
Talented, sure, but Cousins would really hurt team chemistry and would take the Spurs out of contention this year given what they would have to give up.
No
First - I don't think the Kings have any real interest in moving Cousins at least not moving him on the cheap, but if that was the case - The Spurs would have to take a look
If you could get a talented young big for a package of SJ, Blair, pick(s), and maybe some other filler, then taking on a bad contract like Salmons is a no brainer. Demarcus is all bark and no bite, I really think on a winning team with veteran leadership and a coach like Pop you would have no real issues outside of normal growing pains (basketball IQ improvement/maturity) that most young players must learn.
He is eligible for a contract extension after this season. Thats going to be interesting to see how much he is rewarded for immature and talented at the same time.
Kings can tank and drive down the price at the same time.
Not that this means anything, but I recall the Spurs had interest in Cousins during the pre-draft process. Too bad the Kings would want Kawhi.
It's a shame that he's on the verge of wasting all of that talent.
Kawhi > Cousins
no
Cousins is immature as , however the whole Sacramento Kings team is as well, nearly every single player on their team makes an idiot out of themselves. The Spurs on the other hand it's a whole different situation where we've got nothing but you know CLASS (classiest team in the league) a bunch of vets, and the Spurs are actually winning. A different change of scenery from a losing organization filled with immature teammates to what the Spurs are is dramatic.
Cousins definitely respects Duncan, and I think if there is a franchise that could bring the best out of Cousins it's the Spurs.
Obviously any talk of Spurs acquiring Cousins is more of a fairy tale than fact - I do think if Pop is truly committed to the Duncan/Splitter starting combo then there is added need and pressure for Spurs to make move for big. While I agree with Tiago and Timmy being on court together (and I think thats true of most of us here), that starting combo does have its negatives. The Spurs lose ALOT of rebounding and defense when they go to the bench, and the way Pop has done frontcourt rotations they don't get as much time together on the court as they should becuase Pop doesn't really want to sit both at the same time at all. I can't complain about the status quo as we no doubt will again be pretty high seed heading into playoffs, but I would prefer the FO to be aggressive even at the chance of that backfiring, resulting in early playoff exit. The bottom line is if most teams in west are healthy come playoff teams I don't really see anyway the Spurs make finals as team is currently constructed.
Until Kings waive Cousin, spurs are unlikely to get him
I believe this is the straw that broke the camel's back. If a team suspends you indefinitely and bans you from coming around the team, then it's obvious that they are done with you.....for good. Oh, and the Kings came close to renouncing Cousins's draft rights in 2010 after they picked him, so this is no surprise to me at all.
I think if the Kings waived Cuisins then the Spurs would have almost no chance of getting him (other teams with more money and sexier destinations) - If the Spurs have any chance I think it would have to be through trade and given the Kings situation they would value more cap flexibility, proven younger talent, and/or draft picks. I don't think any teams will want to give up a proven young player for Demarcus given his background. The Spurs only really have cap flexibilty to offer Kings (give up SJ,Blair for Cousins/Salmons for example), althought I would definitely be willing to part with two first rounders I still doubt that would entice the Kings as any 1st round pick from the Spurs in the next three years will probably be 20th or worst.
Come to SA big guy
Arn't Cousins and Blair big time bros? Maybe he will come for that.
You're right. I think Jason Thompson is more available now cause Kings select Thomas Robinson this year. Kings have too much talent in the paint. But even we offer Sjax, they're not interested. They've already have 6 wings. So the best way for spurs to get a decent big is waiting for somebody who is waived by his team
How much is McGee making?
11 million a year, but McGee's not a locker room cancer, just a monkeyballer.
The worst part is the effect this has on my Fantasy League!
