So let me get this straight.

People give hayward the benefit of the doubt 2 years after his injury.

But cousins is washed up garbage after only 1 year. Tearing his quad...you know that eas bothering him leading up to the tear as well.

If this team can add cousins at even only 60% then he is the best big on the team

All of a sudden, its 2 years? ****. Its not even a year since his last surgery.

Better stick to creating Hayward trades.

Its been 2 seasons since the break and over a year since second surgery to take out hardware.

Cousins' first injury was in Jan of 2018.
I imagine the difference in how we treat them is based on the fact they were completely different injuries. Athletes with leg breaks tend to recover to the level they were at before. Athletes who bust their Achilles tend to struggle to get back to their previous heights.

What has Williams done so far? has not proven anything..might be a good player or not but we all know how good Cousins is..sign him to 1 year and if he causes problems, cut him

He is a shell of his former self (after injury).  He got burnt numerous times vs Raptors ..... and couldn't handle Gasol nor stay in front of the perimeter players

constant complaining towards the refs/technicals is also baggage

I firmly believe he was dealing with quad problems which limited his effectiveness.

And it only been 16 months since the tear.

Most likely yes.

But 80% of former cousins is fantastic for the team

and yet, not even a MLE offer has been extended to him. i dont know the exact reason for the non-offers, but his health, or rather his ability to recover his health, may be a key factor in all this.

Based on what @GoodmanHoops told me on the latest #CelticsBeat, you should not expect the #Celtics to sign DeMarcus Cousins, even if they could get him for the vet minimum.

If character wins over talent, Cousins isn’t the right fit for a vulnerable locker room in need of repair

Was DMC really a malcontent in that GSW locker room though? Could’ve sworn I saw him try and reign Draymond in a bunch of times during the season.

You are using seasons, they were injured in the same season.

Its only a whopping 3 months between their injuries. Stop with the bias.

Not that reliable, take their comments with a grain of salt.

No matter what, a portion of the public will have misconceptions of Cousins because of his "reputation."

Funny thing is, he's exactly the type of player you like to have on your team

Jared Weiss and Mark Murphy both just indicated that the Celtics were not interested in Cousins fwiw.

Also Poirier was looking for a promise of role/minutes to come over to the NBA so I do not see Cousins as possible now.

He's the most famous at the moment!

Its a racket that has the advantage that sometimes people do leak stuff like that. Or have burners where they leak news. So its plausible and thus it hooks people into the rumor hype.
