...than Blake Griffin.

Cousins is younger and has better character and no major injury issues.

Griffin is a great player when healthy but he's had off the court issues and a I guess a leg/tendon injury....may not be the same player anymore.

Cousins is a legit big and can play inside AND out....with a HOF coach like Stevens I think they can keep Cousins emotions in check.

If I'm giving up either Brooklyn picks....it only be for Cousins at this point.

Certainly don't think it's just you. I think Cousins is a top 5 player and would love to have him on Celtics.
Not sure if I agree about him having better character, but don't really care about that either. He would make Celtics an instant contender.

Our defense would be ruthless... it'd be twice as sweet if we acquired him after a successful Olympic performance. Harden had his best season after winning gold and being shipped out.

I don't think or believe many of the posted rumors and have no expectation this happens.

It's not just you, there was a poll last week that indicated most of CB would prefer Cousins:

I like Cousins better too, especially the durability concern with Griffin but not so sure about the "has better character" part.

Oh I d take Cousins every day and twice on Sunday over Griffin

Cousins is a monster . 

Cousins is the only player I think that can dominate ADavis or Townes .   

Cousins just needs to be on a new team with new goals and people to direct him.

Cousins seems to get mad a lot,  yet .. He is a throw back player , to the 70-80's ......those guys always played mad and ready to bash your head in.    He would fit right in with Moses Malone, Mayhorn ,and of the ruff and tumble crowd .  Players were allowed emotion on court.
Men aren't allowed to,be men .....it might scare the women and children .... :(

I would rather trade BOtH picks and a few throw in players for Boogie than waste them on Griffin.

Only A Davis or Boogie are worth both Nets picks and players .

Cousins with the right cast of teammates could beat Durrant and Curry. .......I'm certain of it.u

As much as I'm leery of Cousins on court antics, he would be an great addition.

In fact I can't think of a center in the NBA that would fit in better, with the system the C's use.

I just can't believe he's excited to play with that Kings franchise, being so dysfunctional.

That's partly because you forgot our all-star 20ppg point guard.   ;)

Cousins, Horford, Crowder, Bradley, IT with Smart as 6th man can compete with ANYBODY.

Demarcus Cousins >> Blake Griffin
Demarcus Cousins >> 2017 pick swap + 2018 Nets pick + Players
Blake Griffin >> 2018 Draft pick + Crowder + Bradley
2017 Draft Swap >> Blake Griffin
Locked up contract Russell Westbrook >> 2018 pick, Smart or Bradley and/or Rozier, Crowder, Memphis pick
Contract Russell Westbrook = 2017 Swap + Assets
Westbrook with no contract guarentee > 2018 pick + Smart
2017 Draft swap >> No contract Westbrook
Blake Griffin >> No contract Westbrook
Resigned Westbrook > Blake Griffin

(<< is much greater than)
(< is greater than)
(= is equals)
