What a joke the nba is. How can anyone take this crap serious????
Very plausible sounding re Cousins.^ he recruited Julius Randle to play with him, and there are reports out that AD was not a fan of Boogie on the court or in the locker room.
They looked pretty chummy on Tanked^ he recruited Julius Randle to play with him, and there are reports out that AD was not a fan of Boogie on the court or in the locker room.
Boogie is a massive human. I'm thinking Draymond tries his best to play nice.
Cousins isn't getting 5 million PER year, he's getting 5 million for next year. That's it.Yea and if he remotely resembles who he was he will still be at the top of best big men. Regardless he is a steal for 5 millon a year. That's chump change for a guy like him. He is still young so he can still get back is all im saying. As far as Pippen goes, if you don't think he is a max guy when he is top 50 all time then nobody is a max guy.
Not at 80% he's not. That's ridiculous.Yeah Cousins is the best center in the NBA.
If Cuz is at 80%, I'm going to say KAT, Gasol, Deandre Jordan and Drummond.Yeah he is, who is better?

Also, I know AD is listed as a PF, but it would be very easy to call him a center and in that case: AD>Cuz.
I don't think you realize just how bad an achilles injury is. 80% might be a pipe dream.

And no, I don't think Pippen was a max guy.
At 100%, he certainly is the best in the league. But the odds of him ever being at 100% again are really low.I didn't say he was the best at 80%. I said he was the best before he was injured. He is inly 27 so he could get back to 80% health. Even if that is the ceiling he will be one of the best and the salary they paid him is ridiculously low. Its a steal of all steals.
I guess my definition of what a max player is differs from yours.I don't know what to tell you but Kevin Love is a max player. Scotty pippen is most definitely a max player. That is an absurd take. Andrew Wiggins signed a max deal. To say a HOF and top 50 all time player is not a max guy is just hate for him.

Maybe there is so much money in the NBA that they're taking the Oprah Winfrey approach:
YOU GET A MAX DEAL, YOU GET A MAX DEAL AND YOU GET A MAX DEAL… .
I sure wouldn’t want to be elbowed by Boogie.Boogie is a massive human. I'm thinking Draymond tries his best to play nice.
That is assuming one doesn’t take strong stances on something when they are clearly ignorant on the subject. Unfortunately that is not something you can guarantee.The economics mean it certainly won't be a LeBron and Durant only with a maybe one day for Davis thing.
Plus there are a goodly number of guys that make an appreciable percentage too.
Still, only so many guys provide the output to spend that much of your cap on, woe to the team that pays Thompson Durant money even though the market dictates they should and must if they want to add a piece of his caliber via free agency.
You guys might produce less heat and more light if you would work out common definitions so might have a goid chance for a productive dialog.
People talk to others like they have agreed on a common frame of reference when such a thing rarely happens and instead react as each other are stupid and crazy rather than using different filters or have different priorities.
Of course no matter what if people insist on making the subjective as if it were objective or the reverse then it is nearly impossible to have a productive back and forth exchange but if folks can agree on the criteria in a clear way a reasoned debate is possible.
CBS reporting that the Lakers were offered Cousins first, but passed on him.
