DeMarcus Cousins Discussion: Boogie Down To GOLDEN STATE F***

I'm trying to get excited about Cousins...and I think that if he comes first and guarantees us LeBron? You do it.

I think it becomes important to re-sign Randle though if we're going for Cousins...Randle is Cousins Insurance.

Good thing is, the market has shrunk considerably for somebody like Randle...he's likely not getting a max offer from anybody or potentially not even an offer. He may have to play on his QO which is great for us...we'd just need to stretch Deng I believe to get max cap room...of course getting rid of him altogether would be even better for us...could give us more options to fill out the roster

 

True.
Now... tell us what happens?

 

10 years from now all the players will have have grown up on the Jim/Mitch era Lakers so trust me, you won't be hearing it by then.

 

Are we really going to give a max contract to a player coming back from an Achilles injury again ? LMAO.

Cousins would already be a bad addition if he was healthy

 

TBH, just wanted George cause he was free. Boogie sounds great imo and a better fit when hes healthy. Don't let the Achilles scare you, he's young and never had Shawn Kemp game.

 

Boogie isn't a better fit by any means . He's a below average defender in the perimeter ( if your 5 isn't good at switching , forget about it in today's NBA when it comes to winning the title).

He's a TO machine on the other end too .

He will be run out of the building by GS .

Pass

 

We just don't know about the achilles but we are in a better position than anyone to obtain the young man and if it turns out he's solid, keep him. Even if a Kawhi deal happens. If he comes back full then this may be a blessing in disguise. A team with LBJ, Kawhi, Boogie, Randle and most of our youth?

And 13 boards and 1.6 blks isn't average defender stats. Dude can box out anyone in the league. A 25.2/12.9/1.6 guy on the same team as Davis? Impossible one would think.

He'll gain maturity and stop arguing with refs eventually and get back on D. He has his areas that need shoring up for sure. But he's in he's prime. His low post D is better than AD's but he is slow at transition and would need to work on that especially with us. But by no means a bad defender.

I can't begin to emphasize how tough an interior Boogie and Randel might be. The Dubs would hate that.

 

I don't what to tell you . Pels were better without him .

Switching and transition D are key , he's not good enough at any of these things ...

He's a very talented stats player ... not an impact one

 

He could give the Warriors problems. Just worried about his mobility. If he can still switch onto perimeter players then I would do something like a 1+1 with 2nd year team option.

We need to be designing teams to beat GS. Their main weakness is ISO ball on Curry (which LeBron can excel at), as well as lack of size down low. Cousins could bully Green and force the Warriors away from going small, which is exactly what we need to do.

 

God, no. Just no. f*** Boogie, Melo, Love, and all these other idiots. f*** PG too, while we are at it.

Dammit. I am warming up to the idea of LeBr..... hurl hurl hurl..

 

He can qualify as my GOAT if he wears purple and gold

 

I would b down for 1+1 contract...you are all talking about the ring and gs...when we should be looking at developing our players and geting to the plaqy off first...we aint winning the ring even if lebron comes...

 

i don't believe you need to play switch-everything defense to win a title. two of the best defenses in the last few years don't do anything of the sort.

that said, cousins hasn't proven he can defend in ANY system, pre-achilles injury.

and that said, at least he wants to play in la, which makes him pretty f***ing unique, i guess.

 

Boogie has been wanting to be a Laker for years, I think most fans have sensed that. In fact, I’m sure he will sign if the Lakers want him. I will bet my house on it!

Oh wait...

 

If he wants max, it’s 1+1 with a team option. If he’s willing to take significantly less than max, I’d give him 2+1 with a team option.

Anything more than that and I’d be disappointed.

And this is all predicated on us keeping Randle. If it’s somehow between Cousins or Randle, and we choose Cousins, then Magic and Pelinka need to be fired.
