After Thompson and Teague, is there money remaining to sign a veteran minimum or roster room? Thoughts on D Cousins?

Not sure if there's a point in getting Cousins. We've got Thompson, Theis, and Rob Williams.  Even Grant as a pinch-hitting 5.

Would prefer to go after Ilyasova or a 3 point shooting 2/3. Bazemore if he's available for little money?

Much like how people said Teague was good because Pritchard, Edwards and Waters are not to be relied on.

I'm say Cousins would be good because TL, GW, Theis and RW are not to be relied on. All most the guys are smaller and/or have missed a lot of time for injuries

Yeah, I think our big man lineup is pretty shored up. We have RWIII, Theis and Thompson as traditional big men, and we have Tatum and G. Will that play small ball 4.

So your answer is Cousins who hasn’t played basketball in two years due to severe injuries?!?!?

Can Cousins be relied on? He's a huge injury risk as a 7 footer with 3 major lower body injuries.

Do you know a better boom or buster addition you can get at the vet min? If healthy he is better than anything we have. The OP is asking at the Vet Min would you consider adding.

No he can't be relied on health wise either but at Vet min I'd gamble on the shot.

Your initial point was that Cousins, who absolutely cannot be relied upon one bit (and I like the idea of him), would be good because we have too much youth at the 5. Now it's that he's the best boom or bust addition? Not consistent at all

He is the definition of cooked. ACL and Achilles injuries. Bad teammate. He didn’t look anything like himself the last he played. Dont think the Cs would be interested.

No, read it again. Clearly says they are smaller guys and injuries are why they can't be relied on.

First off all Cousins teammates have said he is a good teammate. The guys in G.S., Rondo, Davis and others love him. He was the first person AD called when he won. He gets into it with opposing players not his teammates.

As for the injuries if he doesn't pass medical you don't sign him.

If they can sign Thompson and Teague who haven't made a difference in 3 years then yeah why not?

Rofl. You can't expect to be taken seriously if you say things like that
