I think I'll suggest the mod close her own thread. Its polluting the main forum and making us look dumb.![]()
No. Does not seem like an obligatory thread
I object to u calling peoples opinions stupid. Hey.... like it or not ....it's a conversation... that massive article that just dropped on ESPN was about this very topic. U can disagree... but it's a fair point and not stupid.Not gonna close it. I already deleted multiple comments in the game thread about this. Might as well have one specifically labeled "stupid" thread than have people pollute perfectly good threads.

I would sure as hell not trade cousins... but I've seen enough of cousins or the team rally without him that it's curious if nothing else.
I said the thread was stupid but necessary, if only to keep a few people from polluting a whole bunch of other threads.
Obviously Cousins is a talented guy. But after 6+ years of not getting it together, you have to ask why. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Cousins is the only person anywhere close to the team that has been here for the whole 6+ years. So yes I think we are better without him. Especially in the long run.
Cousins may go on to be great. But he needs a kick in the ass. Not a congratulations for being such an ass, here's your 220mil contract. Guess what? Five more years of the same stuff, different year.
Interesting gambit but I'm not so confident it'll work
Of course we are not better without Boogie. However, this team does have enough heart, hustle, and lack of quit that they can occasionally pull off a game like this without Boogie. Expecting them to be able to do this over the course of a full season without Cousins is just foolish.
The Grizzlies made the playoff last year without Gasol and Conley. But yet this team can't be consistent with the Great Demarcus Cousins on the team. Last night they looked great (with all these scrubs some people say we have) without Cousins. I think the team is being held back. I have thought so for at least two years.
Also Cousins is -32 on the year. He has been minus almost every year.
I peeked a IT's stats and the chucker is +108. He has been in the plus every year except his first two. What is it with the blind loyalty to Cousins? The guy is talented but has a lot of liabilities. He refuse to change. Anyone who rubs him the wrong way is gone.

They only made the playoffs because the actual good players on the roster had won enough games that when they got injured the collection of randos and castaways were able to tread enough water to still squeeze into the postseason (in which they were promptly blown out of the water by the Spurs thanks to their lack of talent).
