Demarcus Cousins: Refuses to be Barkley, Ewing and Malone

[FritzLn]

i actually thought cousins was a real competitor. this is hilarious. there are no dogs in the NBA.

fuck skip bayless he created this. you must win the title or your career/season is meaningless

 

[Gus Zing]

So...there was no point to this year anyway. Carry on.

 

[PIP]

Okay 2 things about this for real.

1. I was fine with LBJ leaving... This makes it (for me) even easier...

2. Thank GOD for 2016....

Wow good year to start a rebuild

I'm not even mad at LeBron leaving now. No one is beating the warriors. Boogie could be half the player he once was and still be better than all the centers the warriors have had.

In my mind LeBron just went to LA like a old person goes to a retirement home. Kawhi might as well go to Philly or Boston if he ever wants a chance at winning a championship. Warriors will just keep stacking the deck.

I wonder if Avery Bradley will now just sign for vets minimum to join the warriors.

 

[Bulldog2Buckeye]

They replaced McGee with Cousins

And gave Bron McGee smh

 

[Gus Zing]

Imagine LeBron carrying the Cavs to the finals again...

Only to face

Cousins
Draymond
KD
Klay
Steph


Would have been a sad/ugly ending again.

LeBron might be having regrets about not going to Philly though. Or he probably figures it no longer matters.

The league died the moment KD joined the Warriors.

It isn't like GS is getting the Boogie before the injury. It was a major career threating injury. He took this deal because he couldn't get much better. This is a prove it year for him. Might as well showcase himself at the highest level.

Is it? He's still got to be $15-20MM fair market value. He's a more valuable player [everything considered i.e. system, fit, etc.] than Ariza and Iguodala, and, yes, guys like Tristdashian, JR, and on other teams that would kind of, sort of, have a chance at pushing GS if not for one FA mistake, guys like Ryno and Steve Adams who are in that income bracket.

In the offchance he ends up a chemistry

 

[jvpertz]

Adam silver is too diplomatic.And the problem he’s facing isn’t so easily solvable.


At least when things got silly under David sterns watch-Chris Paul to lakers trade-he says nah-I’m not feeling it.

I honestly hope for something like this to happen. Would love to see the Warriors stacked like a kid's dream 2k team. Would be hysterical.

I find that hard to believe.

FIVE million? The FUCK.

 

[Liam]

He is playing for 5.3 million dollars. FIVE POINT FUCKING THREE MILLION.

Next season Lonzo ball will earn more than Cousins. A 20 year old 2nd year rookie coming is going to earn more than a current western conf all-star. let's just let what this guy is actually doing sink in...

 

[Alec]

Silver can ascend the NBA to NFL levels if he can legitimize the product across all markets. Hard salary cap, stronger RFA, etc.

This isn’t watchable and I hope the ratings take a dump.

The NBA has never had parity but it’s become a parody.

 

[MediumBaller]

Oh well, this makes Steph and KD look like even bigger jokes. I wish he hadn't, but I can't really blame LeBron for saying fuck it and going to LA. There's no point in the other 29 teams playing next season so might as well enjoy the nice weather.

 

[Gus Zing]

And gave Bron McGee smh

After Lue made McGee look like Anthony Davis he would have made Cousins look like Kareem.

 

[inliner311]

I find that hard to believe.

FIVE million? The FUCK.

Someone would have given him the full MLE or even a bad team would have given him $15 million.
