Notanoob said:So, let's review.
-He's a chucker, with a worse career TS% (50.2) and eFG% (45) than notorious shot-jacker Rudy Gay (52.5% and 48.4%)
-He doesn't get back to play defense, worse than just about anybody in the NBA
-He's an attrocious pick-and-roll defender
-He fouls like mad
-He's soft
-He's immature
-His team is better on both ends of the court with him on the bench
-He's been in the league for 3 years and has given no indication that his attitude issues, or defense, will change
And this is the Kings' franchise player, who's getting the max?
Grantland had a fantastic article on him, and basically, the inevitable conclusion is that Cousins sucks. He's not untalented, but he plays awful anyways. Poor Kings fans. They honestly would have been better off dumping him and tanking with the Suns for Wiggins, Randel or Parker.
-sigh- and now Favors is going to expect the max. Likely Hayward will to with Paul's max deal.
wow, 62mil seems like a steal. wasn't it rumored that we were going to give him around 80mil?
Extended him for 4 more solid years. I like that as well
Lets hope there is a team option for year 5
This is the kind of player you go down with the ship on. Not Tyreke Evans
Well done FO
The price tag on Favors has been clear for some time now, this just further confirms it. It'll be interesting to see how Lindsey chooses to go about all of this.
Trade for solid backcourt guy and picks?
I really don't know what to expect. But I'll say this...many posters here are OVERLY afraid of giving Favors big money. We essentially traded the face of our franchise for this guy just to ride the bench for three years and then not pay him anything? That would be the biggest WTF move ever.
Well the important thing is that the Kings fans are happy:

Only if he turns out to be good. I think people are worried about giving him the bank, and then he ends up sucking, but we're stuck with him.
I don't think he will suck at all, just sayin
Been saying this for years now. We should trade Favors and the GSW pick for Julius Randle.
That boi is Hungry and he's a surefire perenial All Star.
