Jazz-Kings trade, NO JIMMER!

DeMarcus Cousins

for

Al Jefferson

Saves us 10 million, rids the Kings of their problems, and gives them someone who they can pass it to, to stop the flow of their offense or better known as the BLACK HOLE. The opportunity to pair Cousins and Favors would be something special, and really would be a force to be reckoned with, for many years.
 
I was wondering why the heck the Jazz would do that until I found out that Cousins is demanding a trade.

While part of me would love to see this, the other part of me worries about the distraction that Cousins would create.
 
No thanks. He's a head case and more trouble than he's worth. There's a reason the Kings were so quick to agree to his trade demand.
 
Cousins probably is upset that his job is rebounding Jimmer's, Evans, Salmons, and Thorton's misses....

Not sure if he'd really love to the Jazz's system... Rebound Harris's, CJ's, and Raja's misses... But all well!

Even with Cousin's bad attitude problem I like this trade. We need a big man with a tough attitude, if he would be a team player. If nothing else he would be as tradeable as Jefferson probably.
 
I doubt Jefferson for Cousins would fly with the Kings. I bet there are still teams out there willing to give up better pieces to get Cousins.
 
If coach Westphal cannot control the kid, no one but Popovich can make him play within a system and stay calm. He has progressed vastly in terms of work ethic, though. If BigAl is a black hole or is not a good facilitator from the post, neither is DMC. He has the talent like Paul to dribble, pass like a guard but his head goes elsewhere sometimes while his a** replaces it. That would be tough for the nice guys of Jazz staff to overcome.
 
Cousins is not a headcase. Not even close. He's immature compared to his peers and he throws temper tantrums at times, but he's not a thug and he's a great teammate. Just tends to wear his emotions on his sleeve. Calipari had no problem with him, at all. Cal's little girl still calls Demarcus at least weekly and refers to him as Uncle Demarcus. He's a good and fuuny guy. And a hell of a baller.
 
Even though the kid is talented I just can't see past the attitude. We just got rid of one which caused issues last year.
 
I'll be honest.

If we can get Cousins for Al Jefferson, we'll be making off worse than the Lakers did with Gasol.

However, if Jazz fans think that Cousins is the missing link, then they haven't been watching this team.

We could have Shaq and Malone in their primes and still struggle to make the playoffs. This team's wings suck. Until they learn how to *gasp* pass and that *gasp* shots inside the painted area are better than jumpers, this team's offense will continue to be hit and miss.

For games that Hayward, Howard, and CJ's jumpers are on, we'll remain competitive. When they're off.... Expect blowouts.

There just aren't very many NBA teams that could survive playing CJ and Raja 20+ minutes. Realistically, both these players should be in the d-league.

Fine. We'll throw them CJ or Raja... Or both! They're vets and will provide those young kings with some veteran leadership....

C'mon KOC, get it done! Sell the Kings on their vet leadership.... LOL...
