yeah I forgot, they have the same style of play and are only offensively gifted, my bad. DMC should be paired with a defensive PF/C.
There is something wrong with this team.

While I don't disagree, I don't think we'll really know what his role will be until he's back.
Hope springs eternal and all that.

Cousins was in his first year and he was not the same player he is now

No, if anything Landry will just be even more in his way now in the post.
Keep the scoring runts off the bench. Get Cuz a defensive big to dominate up front with to start. Somebody who knows how to stay out of the way. There was a reason every single big on the team worked better than Landry with Cuz last time. Unfortunately all our front office/coaching newbies were paying attention to their own franchises at the time.

Well, I wish he had Serge Ibaka to play with, but since he doesn't, we have to work with the current roster

Fine, so you put Jason back in there as a placeholder. He stays out of the way, helps on the glass.
Carl Landry is seriously right there as the very worst thing you could possibly do to Cuz as a front court mate. Everything we don't need, nothing we do. Doesn't even have the I'll stand out here and chuck up three pointers like a weenie guard thing PPat does. It was a terrible move to resign him if the plan is to start him.
You can at least argue for him as 7th man/scorer off the bench. His normal career role. But you don't clutter Cuz.

Ibaka is an elite defender alright but he also clogs the paint because he also likes to score inside.
Bricklayer

ibaka? No. He's a baseline jump shooter mostly. Too scrawny to go inside unless its for an alley oop, no real post game. Ibaka would be perfect. But of course also perfectly unavailable.

he is perfectly unavailable alright , the Thunder would rather give Perkins than Ibaka LOL

I'm with you, I don't think IT has been on board with any coach since he's been here. And certainly not now. He wants to start. Won't be happy unless he's starting.
The Thunder would probably rather give up Perkins than a plate of garlic fries, right about now.

"There is something wrong with this team."
why is this thread title meant to act like some sort of revelation? in the offseason, the kings shipped off tyreke evans, their second best player (and greatest two-way talent), and received a defensive sieve as a consolation prize in the talent bleed, admittedly useful though greivis vasquez may be to the team's offense. then they signed yet another undersized PF who doesn't complement the rest of the kings' frontcourt rotation, and carl landry proceeded to get himself shelved to the inactive list for half the season with a major injury...
beyond those moves, they made a tepid gesture towards the defensive side of the ball by trading a second rounder for luc richard mbah a moute, and they failed to dump any of the kings' ill-fitting, sub-par, defensively-challenged scrubs. apart from drafting the intriguing ben mclemore with the 7th pick (though michael carter-williams seems determined to make teams in the top-10 regret passing on him), it was quite the travesty of an offseason, truth be told. anybody expecting a slew of wins from a rotation that regularly includes the likes of john salmons, travis outlaw, and chuck hayes was fooling themselves, or was too caught up in the emotional rush that followed the purchase of the team to approach the realities of this roster with anything resembling objectivity...
now, the kings' home opener was quite the event, and the win made it all the more sweet... but it was a two-point victory over a denver nuggets team that figures to be joining the kings in the bottom of the western conference this season. it's going to be a rough year for kings fans, as we watch DMC beast over the bad teams, struggle against the good teams, and get increasingly frustrated with the ineptitude of his teammates. the losses will pile up, and it's probably for the best, with a top-heavy 2014 draft class to prepare for...

I know what's wrong with this team: too many dumb players and too many undersized players. Need to slowly ship them out.
