    Cousins is awful defensively. Terrible lateral foot speed and he will be coming off an Achilles tear

    I agree everyone is making a big deal about cousins..sure the Boston's of the worlds would be a bad match up with the warriors but houston would feed off of it play after play from harden to paul to Gordon( super quick first step) would attack cousins .. Even with the help defense they would still be a weak link in cousins rotating once the pass to the corners happen. I also believe tuck would frustrate cousins down low, fronting him and bein physical, i mean thats his kryptonite. If u play him the regular way sure he will probably destroy u but if u play him like draymond, zaza, zbo, james Johnson he will get frustrated...point is i would rather them play him over the younger looney, jones , bell cause the foot speed would be in our favor and they would try to force feed him which in a sense would hurt them cause they would go away from what they know to work for them best

    I would be curious if you could find the next one in the 2nd round though.

    Butler was picked 30th, almost in the 2nd round himself.

    He can't be traded yet because of when he was signed.

    Cousins is no sloth though, he is much taller but weighs only 20 lb more than Tucker which is not that much.

    Coming back from a terrible injury though.

    it cant be that hard... you just have to put an extra work...cant expect to just trade away 1st rounders and not include an additional effort

    He will destroy capella with Kd, Steph, and Klay spacing the floor. One on one it isn’t even a contest. This guy has put up 40 and 20 games. Let’s please stop pretending capella is anywhere near as good. Plus, capella looks so bad since he got paid. I’m not sure he has it in to get better. We have seen this time and time again, especially with big men. They just no longer have any drive after a big contract.
