Dwight Howard liked this.
The last 2 minutes of his in G5 were some of the most embarrassing sequences I have ever seen from an "all star" player. Cousins sucksHe was big in Game 2 of the Finals but nvm the Game 5.yall are so horny for names. A team of all stars couldn't even make this dude look good. He's done
Don't interrupt his agenda, he's on a roll. Absolute worst case scenario, he's David West and he could be let go. On the cheap, I'm not sure how anyone could think it's a bad signing.
Ha ha ha! What in the ever-loving ?!
yes!!!!!!!!!
Spurs would win next 5 ships.. FO!
wtf is this? our new summer league coach or something?
What makes Boggie signing worse than Gasol’s 3 years? This is a no brainer.
I hope Pop/RC just trying to shed salary to get this guy.
No way. He's a cancer, low BB IQ, and damaged goods at this point in his career. That ship has sailed. Anyways, someone is going to pay him more then he is worth once Kawhi signs somewhere. So this is not happening for many o reasons anyways.
There is no market from him atm.
nobody is lining up to sign this guy
Cousins was a head case and a locker room problem from Day 1. (He's damn near as crazy as Metta World Peace.) Sacto had to bring in his high school coach to try and keep him under control. Ultimately, it cost Paul Westphal his job, because the Maloof brothers didn't think he did a good enough job of babysitting their talented problem child.
When he signed with Golden State, I remember an article about how Cousins was "shedding his reputation as being uncoachable". That was eight years later, so he obviously hadn't shed the reputation in all that time. The article was slobbering all over Kerr about how he could reach Cousins' softer side, or some such . Notice that Kerr doesn't want him back now, and figure out whether he is still uncoachable or not.
Here are just a couple of examples. Some of you will remember the second one, since it hits close to home:
---------
On January 1, 2012, head coach Paul Westphal sent Cousins home from the Kings' home game against the New Orleans Hornets, saying that Cousins was "unwilling/unable to embrace traveling in the same direction as his team; it cannot be ignored indefinitely."

DeMarcus Cousins did an immature thing — he heard Spurs broadcaster Sean Elliot was hard on him during the telecast and came out of the locker room in his uniform to confront him “in a hostile manner.”
The league is not fond of players confronting media partners like that, so Cousins got a two-game suspension, sitting out the Kings loss to the Lakers Sunday and he is supposed to sit out Tuesday against Portland. But the players union is appealing the suspension as too harsh, according to the Sacramento Bee.
Which should be a sign.
Even the dumb teams aren't willing to throw a minimum contract at the guy.
Hopefully Demar is suggesting he takes his talents to the Lakers.
not just yes, but uh yes
Cousins is a s of what he was. No guarantee he can stay healthy and he wasn't all that impressive in limited minutes. GSW played him because they had no choice given their thin roster and injuries. That's without considering character issues. I'm sure someone will gamble on him for a minimum deal, they always do. But he's signing one year deals to prove his talent for a bigger contract down the road, how's he going to respond coming off the bench in limited minutes?
Again if it doesn’t work, Spurs can waive him mid-season
The point is, Boggie is a tier 1 talent when healthy. He brings toughness, rebound, low post defense. If successful, the return could be the championship. Not a stretch. For what, minimum? yeah! This is a no brainer. Bring him in please!!!
We need a big body to throw at Jokic, Embid, Davis, Capela etc. Very low risk pretty high reward tbh.
When Cousins was in New Orleans and Golden State he wasn't a locker room issue. He was even one of the players that tried to deescalate the Dreymond Green and Kevin Durant sideline blow up.The guy was still recovering from being injured with the Warriors but he came back too early and still gave his all to try and help them win.
I honestly think if he is willing to take another short term deal and lost about 15-20lbs he can help our team immensely off the bench. He should be ready to roll at the start of the season unlike the last year also. Pop and RC would most definitely have to make things crystal clear initially before he signs the deal what they expect of him so there will be no confusion
2018 16.3 points 8.2 rebounds
Boogie is a great guy outside the court, not a cancer at all, you misunderstood him cause he's emotional, but we can really use his shooting and offensive skills as we can't survive 48 minutes with Jacob playing 4 on 5 on offense...
I hate the guy but was impressed with his play coming back from an Achilles tear for his size pretty damn impressive. I think for cheap he could really help the team one thing is he could be our enforcer we need no one is going to mess with him. If Pop talks to Kerr and gets a good report and Pop has a come to Jesus meeting with the understanding there is no second strikes and it’s Pop way or the highway.
Face it. Spurs currently are 6-8 seed, even people talking missing the playoffs. Suddenly, championship aspiration for a minimum?
Um, that's Shams one of only two real NBA insiders you can trust.
Yeah, this could be Boogie's shortcoming, his defense on guarding the perimeter against smaller, quicker players who are trying to penetrate to the basket. With his lateral movement becoming a possible issue since his Achilles injury, there's speculation that teams scouting on this, will pickup on this, & beat it like an old drum.But the question is: could he be used for other game situations when playing against a team with dominate bigs, to draw the big out our to do some paint work inside? We could use some NASTY, at least for a one year signing, just to see how it would work out. Yeah, his at ude & possible style of play could be issues, but at the same time, he could be an asset, too. The only problem would be to clear up a roster spot for him. Who would be the one to go? Metu, Eubanks, or Bertans? This could impede the progress for the youth movement, especially if it were just one year. Any who, it's just us fans hoping & wishing, but in the end, PATFO will do whatever they want.
Defensive liability, nowhere near where he was pre-achilles and quad tear, outdated position, terrible at ude on court and in locker room. There is no reason to sign him.
