Cousins demands a trade!

[Fishsticks]

Why do you think some people are such a big advocate of the Jefferson for Iguodala trade?
I definitely don't want Cousins, but Big Al for Iggy..... I'm on board!

What trade? This ain't NBA 2k12 son! This trade you speak of has not gone farther than your xbox.

UK homer. Dude has huge red flags.

I'm a UK homer, yes. But I have been 100% fair in all assessments (UK players or rivals, etc.). I expected better from you because you tend to collect your own empirical data rather than forming your opinion through media hacks and message board folk. I like you and your takes, that's why I expected better.

Is Cousins friends with Kanter or Favors? That could maybe make him like it here more than Sacramento.

I would love to have the kid(salivating at the idea of a favors-cousins frontcourt), but I seriously doubt Cousins is traded. His agent has come out and said no such demand was made. This is Westphal throwing Cousins under the bus to save his own job.

No that is called trying to maintain max trade value so a deal can actually get done.

I recall only seeing you talk only positive about UK players. I am amused you think you are "100% fair."

Kanter. He publicly said some disparaging remarks about Favors after he got drafted below him.

Iggy = 13.5 mill this year, 14.7 next, 15.9 PO

Cousins on a rookie contract could be a home run. Iggy, at that price, would handcuff our ability to add talent.

You recall totally wrong. I cautioned that Kanter has limited lift and explosiveness. I have been way down on Marquis Teague as a PG. I've been high on Kidd-Gilchrist because he deserves it. I've also been high on Rivers (Duke), Beal (Florida), Miller (Baylor), etc, etc.

Oh yeah, I also cautioned against Knight's ability to blow by a defender (slow first-step).

Anyway, I guess this is where everyone piles on and says I'm wrong although everything I've said here is still archived and anything opposite will be nowhere to be found. Such is message boards.

I can tell you, for sure, that Kanter and Cousins are not friends. They're not unfriendly, just not close by any means.

A guy who hangs around JazzFanz 24/7 only to talk Kanter isn't 100% fair?

Hmm...I love the idea of Cousins here, I just don't see why he wouldn't demand a trade from us as well. Too bad.

 

[The Thriller]

What's Cousins upset about exactly?

Iggy isn't the answer. And his contract really sucks. No thanks.

I would love to trade big Al for a few solid players/draft picks.

Look up my recent posts, dumbass. Less than 5% are pro-Kanter posts.

I had thought of Favors but not Kanter. Interesting. Do we really have a strong enough personality like Sloan though to keep him in his place? If we fired Corbin and hired JVG, I'd be all for this. With Corbin, I'm not so sure.

Hate to say this but any trade for Cousins would probably have to include Favors. If I were the kings that's who I'd want in return.

I don't care if you're a bit of a homer, PKM. I appreciate your contributions, especially when it comes to college ball. I don't have time to watch much myself, and I like to get your input. Keep up the good work.

So Sacramento won't part with him for Jefferson, Miles and Bell?

Your forgetting the fact that the Jazz do not need to make the trade but I can't think of a much better trade than Jefferson for Cousins.

I'm sure the Kings would absolutely LOVE trading 3.6M in salary for 20M in salary.

I'm sure the league would love it, as well. Maybe they're the ones who say no?

Might be able to do it with Garcia and Thompson added in, but Jazz would have to throw in the GS pick, I imagine, since Sacramento is still taking on more salary.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

I would guess that any team that wants cousins is going to probably have take salmons. He has their worst contract. I would guess they would also want young players or draft picks. If it was me I would want the gs pick next year.

As far as cousins goes it is a mild risk. It is not like we would be committing 10+ mil on him for the next 3 or 4 years. If we could get him with out giving up our youth I say we do it. Favors is untouchable.
