DeMarcus Cousins Begging DeMar DeRozan To Get Spurs To Sign Him?

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

It's funny as that people keep bringing up him being a bad teammate but as soon as he left Sacramento he hasn't had any issues. I admit his issues in Sacramento were bad but honestly in the grand scheme of things not super bad. The guy has never gotten into any trouble off the court and seems to actually be a good teammate. He was just too damn emotional and hated losing.

As far as his on court play in Golden State he was coming back from serious injuries and still put up good numbers. The playoffs he rushed back too soon and had a solid game but looked rightfully rusty after that game. If he stays healthy he is a great scoring punch off the bench for any team.

Teams will take him but they aren't gonna pay a premium amount due to him coming off injuries. Whoever (a winning team anyway because he might not do well emotionally on a bad one) takes a cheap flyer on the guy is gonna look smart.

For all the people saying Cousins pick and roll defense is bad...and it is atrocious...uh...who are we getting as a 3rd big who pick and roll defense WONT be bad

Right now we got Metu...every time he plays basketball he looks like he never played basketball before

Luka...19 years old not physically ready to switch on pick and rolls yet...has the physical make up to one day be a good pick and roll defender but you can probably name all the good pick and roll defenders at age 19 in nba history on one hand...

Eubanks...I had hopes for him being the 3rd big but he has been really bad defensively in summer league...he just flat out doesn't switch most of the time and every no name guy who won't even make an nba roster has finished over him in his two games like he is not even in front of them...

So who is this mystery 3rd big we getting who is going to be a stalwart in pick and roll defense?

I also don't get the "accept a bench role"...rather he start or doesn't I don't think he is going to play any more than 20 - 24 minutes a game cause his body might not allow him to right now...he is going to be on the floor when it matters and when LMA is off the floor a lot of the offense would be ran through him...more than likely he will start...I like Poeltl for what he does but the next time Poeltl scores on the block two times in a row will be the first time in his career he scored on the block two times in a row and you can't run any offense through him since no one takes him serious as a scorer...

Honestly I'd rather have Boogie than LMA but that is a whole other thread...

[Mr. Body]

I can't wait to see a fat, whiny malcontent shuffle around the floor, ing and moaning, letting players sweep by him, and wrecking an already fragile locker room. Yes, great, let's sign wad DeMarcus Cousins who even the Warriors don't want back.

[Leetonidas]

Poopbox is a fitting name considering those ty takes

[Chachachango]

I don't know how he fits with spurs system but we need a G in this team. We need some nasty and he brings it. If he does sign hopefully he us healthy enough to play and push mofos around, If not, slowly progressive him in. I do think he will fit with squad in the locker room unless LMA is too soft and gets offended by some Cousins say/do.

[rasuo214]

Bad fit in the locker room, bad fit for the team, bad fit for the current NBA. No thanks. There's a reason why no one else wants him. Maybe the Lakers will take him, they need to fill up roster spots.

[Dex]

I'm firmly in the "nay" camp as well here.

It's easy to look at the name on the back of the jersey and his resume, and say that he is easily worth the vet min.

But like I said before...Cousins is literally the anti-Spur. Bad character, bad teammate, ball hog, crybaby, etc. For an organization that values culture and character more than any other team, I don't see them changing course even at the request of DeRozan, Gay, etc.

He was a failed reclamation project last year in a Pop-centric system, so I don't know why anybody really expects any less. Yes, that was partially due to injury...but that is still a concern until he proves otherwise.

He'd also be demanding to fill minutes in the frontcourt, which means less time for developing guys like Poeltl, Bertans, Semanic, and Eubanks. If the Spurs aren't going to be contending, I'd rather they be investing time in their youth instead of trying to appease some guy who you know is going to walk for a bag as soon as someone is willing to throw it at him.

Go to the Wiz bro

[playbonner15]

So who would you rather have: Nephew or Boogie?

[Dverde]

I have no issue waiving Metu or Eubanks for him. Neither are ready for the NBA and dead weight on our bench. If Boogie is terrible just cut him, plenty d leaguers around the league as talented as those two scrubs right now.

[ace3g]

Our main issue is defensive versatility - Cousins doesn't address that.

[Capt Bringdown]

This is a " it" year for the Spurs. This roster has zero chance for a ring, so it, take some chances.
Bring the boog man.

[SpurPadre]

So what other options are out there to address that? Beggars can't be choosers, bro.

[Gordy58]

Our main issue is defensive versatility - Cousins doesn't address that.

he lacks the foot speed but he’s a great post defender, shot blocker, and he has great hands which leads to an above average amount of steals for a big

[SpurPadre]

Those saying no on Cousins are acting like we're in any position of turning down former All Stars still in their 20s lol. You do remember we were a 7 seed for the second year in a row and oh yeah, also bounced in the first round for the second year in a row. Like ing #Metu movement is gonna do anything. Like that geek Eubanks is gonna do anything. Beggars can't be choosers. Of course, this is all moot. PATFO are done making moves.

[ace3g]

I would rather add another SF to the roster.

[FvckMavs]

I would rather add another SF to the roster.

This. Just use the 2.9m on Stanley Johnson.

[JR3]

I would sign him in a heartbeat.

You're kidding yourself if you think he's going to come here to play 3rd string C. And you're kidding yourself worse if you think he is a better fit for this team than Poeltl off the bench. This isn't prime Cousins guys. And he isn't going to just sit happily on the bench waiting for his number to be called. This is a guy who is fighting to get paid. He wants a prominent role, and we will be so much worse off if we try to give it to him.

Youd think by now after watching ball and seeing "super teams" come and go for the last decade or so, posters would realize that just because someone was an all star at some point doesn't mean they're a positive on the roster. Simply adding names to your roster doesn't mean if the fit/skillset/at ude doesn't mesh

[Gibbz]

Preferring Stanley ing Johnson to ANY form of DeMarcus Cousins.

[Duncan87]

Still think it’s a rumor Cousins camp made but weird out of nowhere injury to Metu and Cousins switching agent that is currently LaMarcus agent is kinda telling

Sometimes the Devil truly is in the details.

[Duncan87]

True.........still wish someone confirm or deny this already though

[Duncan87]

At least we ain’t going through that Kawhi drama BS
