Good. Reminds me of when the kings drafted cousins then hired his high school coach
how did that work out?
Really well. Yes, Cousins, by all accounts, is a jerk with a temper, but he's not dead or disabled from drink or drugs and he does appear to stay in shape, make it to practices, and plays well in games.
You also failed to mention he is no longer in Sacramento though he was on a bargain contract.
FYI Cousins was a model citizen in Sacramento. He is beloved by the community. Also, players get traded, whether you attend practices or not. You cannot cite Cousins as an example that getting help doesnt work. For all we know, he mightve been worse without it,
phenomenal basketball player had no offers and had to call a team to lobby for employment at a bargain basement price. Yeah all that help he got really worked. Look I dont know how you reached the conclusion that I am against getting help for players. I am not.
Lol bro, how’s the humidity on Mars? Cousins and his lack of offers MIGHT, just might, have something to do with him weighing 280 and catastrophically tearing his ACL. Just maybe.
if that makes you feel better about why no team or players wanted him,
That is literally why it happened. It wasn’t due to maturity or lack of support.
Injured players get interest all the time Boogie not so much.
What you say is true.
But consider that his injury is an Achilles rupture, one of the worst injuries for a pro basketball player. It is
usually a career killer. Consider Elton Brand, or more recently Wes Matthews. Both continued playing after healing, but at greatly diminished productivity.
I've seen it misreported as an ACL tear, including here. This is worse. Of course, it depends on how severe the damage, how young the player is...
The Warriors are taking a tiny risk at one year, $5M.
