The Saga of DeMarcus Cousins

[Sac.1989]

"If KD comes to the FO and says "Ill sign a multi year max extension, but Draymond has to go". Do you do it? Or do you keep Green?

You do it. Draymond is diminishing returns

 

[SLAB]

Oh no. Poor DeMarcus... hope he’s alright.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Unbelievable.

 

[Tetsujin]

Looked like he did something bad to his quad.

All these years striving to reach the playoffs only to get injured when he gets there.

it just gave out on him. that's a lot of weight to be running up and down the court.

Sir Charles fears Cuz might have blown out his quad like he did years ago. Says Cuz grabbed the same area of the quad that he injured. Let’s hope not and that it’s just a mild or moderate strain.

That would be heartbreaking.... really praying for just a strain or pull...

Yeah. It honestly looked a lot like the Dipo quad in terms of how his leg just sorta gave

If there ever was a player stubborn enough to come back from two career-ending category injuries, it would be Demarcus Cousins. Never count out the Boogie Monster

 

[VF21]

WTF? I wasn't watching the game. Logged on here to randomly scroll a bit, and read that DMC is injured?!?!?!?!?!?

I sure hope it's not as bad as it sounds.

I hate the Clippers.

Holy crap.

 

[SLAB]

What a freakin’ punch to the stomach.., NBA season is dead to me.

 

[SLAB]

Man... if it’s the worst, Boogie just lost it all. Max contract, or close to it. Playing for a ring. Another year of his career.

It’s *****ing heartbreaking.

I believe it’s the same leg as the Achilles. Doubt it’s a coincidence. Damn...... SMH.

Second straight year he goes out on a hustle play.

Damn... damn damn damn.

Looks like he will probably sign another year for mid level and stay with dubs another year. This definitely does not look good for his career. Out there somewhere, bricklayer is in mourning.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Serious question: how much weight do you think he could reasonably lose, on that frame, and still be effective as a basketball player? Because I hear people talk about him "carrying a lot of weight," as if they think a guy that height, and built like he is, could stand to be around 230. And I'm thinking, if he were 230, with that build, he wouldn't be in the NBA.

Damn... damn damn damn.

I'd like to fast forward to the start of the WNBA season, please and thank you.

IF he can recover he has a shot to make his money after next season without KD around. Doesn’t seem as devastating as I assumed it was when I first heard “Torn Quad.”

I don't think there's any chance DeMarcus could reasonably get under 250-255 unless he fasted for a long time. But, of course, then he'd be no good to anyone.

Damn... damn damn damn.

Unbelievable. Such a freakish injury. There's no way to prove, but I gotta believe it's fallout from the Achilles and the recovery process.

You never want to see injuries like this happen to anyone. But I always wonder why they never happen to the players I hate.

 

[VF21]

MOD NOTE: The poll about DMC going to the Warriors has been removed and the thread title has been changed. It's a sad day for fans of DeMarcus Cousins. I wish the big guy all the best.

With the money they have to give out this year I assumed even prior to this MLE would be too rich. I'm not sure what the penalties are but a MLE deal would actually cost them significantly more in tax penalties I figure.

Hopefully he comes back 100%. I would be mind blown if he comes back this year. I can't believe it doesn't require surgery if that's the truth. The pic I saw looked like a full tear of the muscle if not the tendon itself.

why wouldn't he be? He can lose weight if he truly and fully committed to it, but that's just my opinion. At what point do you look yourself in the mirror and say...you know what, being this big, burly and heavy big man just isn't going to cut it because the last two seasons he's had season ending injuries and I don't think that's a coincidence all of a sudden.

 

[kingsboi]

I just have to say....Boogie is truly cursed, he just isn't meant to be in the Playoffs or be part of a winning team while contributing so far in his career and next season will be year 10
