    He is goofy, but he is really, really good. One of the best young bigs out there. I would risk it if the price is right. Like Sam, but Cousins is better. I want to win really, really bad.

    At worst, he's a guy who will give you 15/8 in 27mpg. That's what he did last year. And he's 21.

    He's going to be a better passing version of Zach Randolph.

    Overrated head case, do not want. I just don't get the hype around this guy.

    Dude shot 43% last year, that is abysmal for a PF.

    Seriously don't want this guy, unless he can be had dirt cheap.

    Yeah I was thinking the same exact thing! Yes Hill and Scola isnt too much since we would still have Dalembert, Patterson, and Thabeet.

    Cousins haters need to get real.. We can't expect every great player to be an Andre Johnson, or a Hakeem..

    Assholes win too.. and if it takes us getting an ******* to build towards a championship.. than so be it..

    We have a system where Cousins will shine..

    The only untouchables in my eyes are lowry and 2pat.. give up anyone else to get him.. even if you give too much.. clear the cap space..

    We aren't going to win a championship with a bunch of 6th men.

    Given that he was hyped he'd still be a 15 10 threat. I think Patrick will be as good if not better.

    I'd love to see him in Houston. A young big man with all star potential. The talent is there, he's proved it in NBA games. He can rebound, block shots and can score in the inside. I'd see if we could get a deal done around Scola and Bud.

    He's 21, with a higher ceiling than anyone on our roster, including Lowry.

    Ceiling can only get you only the NBA, but hard work ethic, leadership will let you shine.

    Say whatever, but Morey is already in conversations. Direct trade or 3way trade, but for sure he's very interested. Personally, I would give anything not named Kyle to get him. Maybe I'm going too fast, but it's how I feel it.

    I love Patterson, but with time, Cousins could be a top center in the league. His skill set is very rare for a 7 footer with his athleticism.

    Name one great big man recently that ever shot 43% for a whole year. He did that while playing inside. Just because you put up points, doesn't mean you're effective.
