Rumor: Jazz and DeMarcus Cousins

Cousins for bigger ones, and Lyles for smaller ones.

Interesting. I think Favors is a better player than Gobert and they are about the same age. I also think Favors/Cousins> Gobert/Cousins>Favors/Gobert.

Favors and Cousins match up better. More versatility and compliment each other well.

Boogie is a decent defender down low but not on PFs.

You don't play Cousins and Gobert together. Favors and Cousins is too perfect. Imagine this lineup:

Hill
Hayward
Johnson
Favors
Cousins

We are the second best team in the west.
 
Cousins needs to leave Sac town, its an awful franchise and for someone who has attitude problems it really is the worst place he could go. I don't think he would gel all that well in Utah, but the idea of having him on our team is really really intriguing.

I agree. He wouldn't fit the team or community culture at all. I like Boogie as a player, on the court he's special. But given the fact he wouldn't fit in here I wouldn't trade Rudy for him. Rudy is a rare defender that's tough to find.

What if you could get Boogie without giving up Rudy though? And let's dream for a second that he actually did fit in to the team and culture? I know I'm dreaming... but dang. Could you imagine Boogie at 4 and Rudy at 5? Devastating duo.

This is patently false.
I am the only person here that knows him personally and what you described is entirely wrong.

His fit is actually perfect off the court.
He's a great human being and is more philanthropic than he is some club-goer.

I do question his on court fit. He's an awesome player, period.
But his incessant whining, crybaby stuff ALL DAMN GAME is where I think the poor fit comes into play.

He is LOVED by all Kentucky fans and adored for his off court stuff. Yet all of us wish he would just stfu and ball.
 
How much of his whining is perceived as bad because he loses? Duncan whined all damn game and is worshipped.

At UK the team was sitting at 34 wins and 1 loss. He whined all season.
About calls and such.

It is a perception thing though...
Duncan is viewed a good dude so the whining is okay.
Cousins is perceived a bad person so the whining is bad.
 
Rudy averaged 16.4 points per game?
 
Outside of the Jazz, he's one of my favorite players to watch. I think he'd win a ton of games in Utah. I'd even go as far to say I'd trade Favors and Gobert for him

Exum. Hill
Hood. Burks. Hill
Hayward. Johnson. Ingles
Lyles. Diaw. Johnson. Bolomboy
Cousins. Withy.

To me this is a contender filled with veteran leadership shooting a pg that doesn't monopolize the ball too much, a stud in Hayward that will have no problem getting Cousins the ball. Also a pass first pg in Exum. Hills scoring would be better served on the bench to create a potent offense with Burks and Johnson with a veteran playmaker in Diaw and a great backup rim protector in Withy. There is defense, shooting and scoring on both units.

I'd do anything for this to happen. I also think Utah is the perfect environment for Cousins attitude on the court unlike most people's thoughts here.

This would truely be Cousins team with stable ownership, a coach that is well respected by even players outside the Jazz. I have no doubt Cousins would enjoy playing with Exum Lyles Hood and Hayward.

Cousins would cry about being a center.

Fine. Make him the pf for hell sakes. He's that good. You do whatever it takes to make it work. If u ask me Malone was every bit as volatile as Cousins is. Difference is that Malone played on a winner Cousins plays on the worst run org in sports.

That's worked out so well for teh kings.
 
Cousins was the main reason they got rid of Isiah Thomas, who just led teh Celtics to the playoffs. Do whatever it takes to make Cousins happy though.
 
I wouldn't trade Favors AND Gobert. Cousins has too many questions. They get Gobert and pieces. They won't find a better deal than that.
