Yup. This season he's at 32.1% to start the year.
Takes bad shots, mopes if he doesn't get the ball... huge talent attached to a non-functional brain.
I'd look to pick him up in 2 or 3 years when he's taken some hard knocks and realised that team comes first and you have to work hard to get anywhere in the NBA.
Earlier in the thread, someone mentioned Bonner and a 1st round pick. If that's all it would take, I'd do that in a heartbeat.
Outside of that, it's not worth parting with a more valuable asset (Splitter, Leonard or Anderson) on a player who is such a high risk.
While I believe Pop could handle him for a while, it would probably be a matter of time before he burned his bridges in SA too.
Let the buyer beware, but still, the Spurs at least have to make an inquiry on him.
DeMarcus does not remotely seem ready to "get over himself."
Bonner, Neal and RJ would do it?
No way I'd give up Neal or RJ for him. I don't know much about Cousins, but I do know that hes a lazy headcase who doesn't give a about team basketball. He won't be happy playing behind Duncan, Splitter and Blair. He'll whine and about not getting the ball, not getting playing time and ultimately he'll demand a trade from the Spurs.
With that being said, I would trade Bonner for him and pray for SJax part 2. I might do RJ but that probably means we take back bad contracts..
Yes, trade for him. The Spurs are in a position that playing safe (not taking any chances because of character isssues) will not work anymore. They are desperate for help on the fontline and taking the chance and having it work out puts the Spurs in a better position to contend this year.
He is a young talented player with great upside. If he didn't have any red flags( ?character issues) then he would not be attainable. Pop can straighten him out and being around a known winner like Duncan can do him good.
by then he will command a 12 million dollar per year contract. if the spurs want a big man full of potential, they need to pick one up cheap. the at ude problem can easily be corrected on the spurs.Yup. This season he's at 32.1% to start the year.

Most here are typical Spur fans. Too afraid to take any chances.
Pop should trade for him, then send him down to for a stint in Austin so that he gets over himself.
Typical Idealist. Btw which player would you trade for this headcase? Try and be realistic too. No "Bonner for Cousins" bull .
Cousins is making a terrible mistake. You don't become a pain in the ass on your rookie contract. You wait until you've got the next bigger contract. He's costing himself millions...
his value is not as laughable as low as some of the proposals. would probably be leonard(since they are loaded with guards already) neal blair for cousins garcia.
In other words you basically would want him for free.
I like these guys who would want a player but aren't willing to trade anyone worth anything.
Splitter for him would be a steal for the Spurs. He has far more upside potential than Splitter.
the problem is he wants to be first option on offense, too bad we dont have a pass first pg....
Too bad hes not good enough to be a first option on offense type player.
too lazy to check if numbers work or not
but i'd trade any combination of neal/bonner/rj
1) You don't pay much for a lit stick of dynamite. It won't be around long.
2) More downside offsets more upside.
Let's trade the rights to Spanoulis since KBP says he's currently better than any player on the Spurs, and add in a conditional 2018 second round pick to sweeten the deal.
Remember once upon a time we traded for headcase Rodman, using our 1st round pick and ultimate team guy Sean Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_. Stranger things have happened
lol the clowns saying put him around winners will change his situation
when was the last time the spurs were winners?

He's the next coming....
Of Mike SuckmyWokandi!
Spurs fans thought Olowokandi was going to be a beast here should he come and I argued that was big naw, and well, the Spurs got rings once Wokandi bailed for Minnesota and did what? What did he do after he left the Clippers? What is he doing now?
That's the career path that Cousins is on right now. He ain't Spur material...He just ain't.
I don't want this cancer anywhere near my team. This is a guy who has gotten into MULTIPLE fights with teammates. . No.
Lol, dude has zero trade value. He can be had for next to nothing. I'd take him for sure
