Enough with the ST class warfare tbh
All you Greys coming up with your "trade for Cousins" threads don't seems to understand the Spurs' culture, ethos, or system. The Spurs organisation is all about finding players who fit their system, and who have high character - team-first, self-sacrificing players who will do anything to fit into the Spurs' winning system and culture.
DeMarcus Mega-Cancer, despite obvious physical talents, has a dysfunctional head to the extent that he would have fit perfectly on the Jail Blazers. He is NOT the kind of player that the Spurs organisation covets or trades for because he does not fit the ethic of self-sacrifice that has made this team so successful (see: Robinson, D, Parker, T, Ginobili, M, Duncan, T, etc).
Unless he has an epiphany of epic proportions, DMM-C is destined to play out his NBA career without ever maximising his talent or winning anything because he is not willing to learn, or to sacrifice his precious ego for a greater goal. This is obvious to us as bystanders, so I'd be very surprised if RC and Pop missed it.
Check yo mutha in heads and realise what the Spurs are about, or go become a Kings fan.
Discuss.
Enough with the ST class warfare tbh
We have Stephen Jackson on our team dude
Enough with the "Spurs should trade for DMM-C", tbh.
A guy who has turned his life around, and who has never caused any trouble as a Spur during either stay.
The difference between Jax and DMM-C is that Jax listens to Tim and Pop - you think DMM-C will do the same? I doubt it. He sees himself as the main man, while Jax has always known he's a complimentary player on a team like the Spurs.
BTW, the grey thing was just a joke, although I don't see many experienced Spurs fans jumping on the "trade for DMM-C" bandwagon, which kinda justifies my classism!
What's not to like about a center who shoots 42%?
The Cousins thing is simple - if you can get him cheap it's a risk you take all day every day (cheap = not giving up TP, TD, Manu, Kawhi, Splitter)
Of course I also said from day one the Kings aren't serious about dealing him, at least not yet, and that some other team would be willing to give up more than the Spurs will
I actually consider them to be opposites. Jack has always been a great teammate, but he's had trouble in the real world. Cousins hasn't really had any real-world issues (run-ins with the law and such), but he's been a terrible teammate. So long as Jack is kept in check, his good outweighs his bad. Cousins' good only works until his bad destroys the team.
The Spurs' culture may be able to fix both types of players, but I don't think we should consider Jack to be a model for how it would work on Cousins.
I want Cousins the player (talent wise), but I don't want Cousins the person. Cousins the person screws up the talent that he has and any chance of maximizing it.
Not sure how he would fit on the team, so even if we could get him (not really possible with our assets), I don't know if I'd want him on the team. Pop has said before that not everyone has to be a Choir boy, but I am sure there is certain criteria for players to be Spurs.
Having said that, weren't the Spurs interested in trading for Ron Artest when he was with the Kings? Not sure if that was real or a smokescreen? That was the trade deadline where they got Kurt Thomas.
Actually, Jack has only gotten in trouble defending teammates. His run-ins with the law have been minor.
But I agree, Jack is regarded as a great teammate. Cousins is a horrible teammate; if you watch a Kings game, you'll lose count if you try to count how many times his teammates roll their eyes at him. They don't even hide how much they can't stand him.
Ruffy is right, no way in the Spurs take on Cousins. I don't care the trade particulars blah blah whatever ... Would. Never. Happen.
well the gnsf god has spoken
Dennis Rodman says hi.
People want him for the talent, obviously. And if there is any team who would be able to turn Cousins' at ude around it would be the Spurs. Besides, Cousins should straighten up after getting suspended a few more times.
Dwayne Schintzius waves back.

Oct 1, 1993- Spurs acquire Rodman
May 31, 1994- Spurs hire Gregg Popovich as GM
Oct 2, 1995- Spurs trade Rodman
Another reason why Spurs wouldn't trade for Cousins is his incident with Elliott.
I don't like being classified with Demarcus cousins supporters. I've never once brought up a dmc trade here. Lame generalization is allBTW, the grey thing was just a joke, although I don't see many experienced Spurs fans jumping on the "trade for DMM-C" bandwagon, which kinda justifies my classism!
Big time....it was not a simple disagreement. He waited for Sean and threatened him. He was damn lucky only getting a two day suspension.
Pretty much guarantees he will never wear silver and black. You don't f with the familia
speaking of Cousins, interesting tweet from Stack:
Jerry Stackhouse @jerrystackhouse DeMarcus Cousins is a very intriguing basketball player...I can understand why an indefinite suspension would only last one game #talented!
