    Ironically, Cousins was on a podcast saying how good the team chemistry was in LA and how he's never been part of such a good group before this year.

    Yikes.

    I’m kind of surprised Lakers released him considering he was talking about playing this year.

    but yes I don’t see why not, vet min.

    He’s injury prone but him and harden are cool and he could end up being a good future piece for us. People forget how good this dude is.

    rockets have great team chemistry and all of the players get along right now... why would you want to disrupt that and add one of the biggest cancerous pieces of sh*t this league has ever seen?

    He can't switch. He was having a hard on D before his latest injury. He can stretch the floor but he wouldn't fit defensively.

    meh, then when he’s in you just play like as if we had capela. To me you make adjustments for star caliber players.

    It’s not a biggie. Plus like you said offensively he would fit in fine.

    don’t be deceived playing small ball doesn’t mean rockets wouldn’t want a center it’s just finding the right fit at center for our style.

    He’s actually not that bad last couple years, he’s matured.

    it's not the on court antics i'd be worried about. it's the stuff inside the locker room, the brooding, the moodiness. westbrook has always been a positive teammate and brings everyone up. russ goes hard in practice and the team's overall effort goes up. boogie cousins has always been the opposite. lazy, disinterested, selfish. there is no way i'd want cousins near this team. i'd rather have melo over cousins even.

    Suns :: Shaq
    Rockets :: Cousins

    he's slow, he's a poor defender, he's an unreliable jumpshooter and he's going to want touches.

    also.... injury prone. the game and his health are both pointing away from future success in the NBA.

    If Zboy, Reeko or YOLO says he "he's washed up" or "sucks", just know he probably can still contribute to a NBA team
