Have to say, dont feel sorry for Lebron/Lakers and also not feel sorry for Cousins after i read the story about him destroying Nik Stauskas career.

I must have missed the Stauskas story. What happened?

Apparently, Cousins is an enormous bully/a-hole

Not trying to defend Demarcus here, but I don’t see how Nik being bullied ruined his career. Maybe he just wasn’t that good? Lots of lottery picks fizzle out of the league.

yeah that article didn't say he ruined his career. It's all I could find in terms of Stauskas-Cousins drama.
Still pretty douchey.

Sources: Lakers' Cousins has serious knee injury
Los Angeles Lakers center DeMarcus Cousins has suffered a serious knee injury, league sources told ESPN on Thursday.
The initial fear is that Cousins has a torn ACL, but nothing is expected to be known for certain until he undergoes further tests in Los Angeles on Thursday, sources told ESPN.
Cousins, a four-time All-Star, is expected to meet with Lakers team physicians, sources said.
Cousins, 29, was working out in Las Vegas on Monday when he had to leave the court after what one source described as "bumping knees" with another player.
He suffered an Achilles tendon tear while playing for New Orleans during the 2017-18 season, and he missed several weeks with Golden State last season with a quadriceps injury.
Cousins, who has averaged 21.2 points and 10.9 rebounds over his nine NBA seasons, signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Lakers in July. He's part of a Lakers team expected to be among the NBA's elite this season.

Karma keeps on servin'.
At only $3.5MM per year, Stauskas may be outearning him by now.
