    That's why trading him to SA would be great! Pops and Duncan could fix him.

    This is a valid point. I'd look elsewhere for bigs if we were trading pieces with somebody. Memphis..Orlando.

    I don't want him enough to give them CJ or even Crabbe for him.

    The risk with Cousins is he wakes up one day and decides he hates basketball...the next Andrew Bynum

    That's why I would not risk the future. I would want to keep our core. , Dame, CJ. Crabbe, and Plums.

    From what is left I would offer Vonleh and Henderson, and then one SF and one more big:

    Aminu or Harkless
    Leonard or Davis

    You still have a lot left

    Dame
    CJ,
    Crabbe
    Plums
    Boogie

    My guess we would still have Harkless, Davis, Alexander, Frazier , Montero, and Pat
    Although I would actually they take Davis instead of Leonard as I think Meyers would play better well with Cousins.

    1. The only person that matters concerning Boogie is the owner and he has not strayed from his love of the only star quality player he has.
    2. If Boogie really is on the market, other teams have more to offer. We've been over this MANY TIMES. Boston has a ton of picks, for example.

    Bubt maybe they see the picks dont do Phili or Minni any good, so they dont want that? Maybe they want to build around Rondo? Just sayin

    The point of the link is that Divac isn't trading Cousins. I've seen that over and over again.

    I also don't see in the "blog" link in the opening post where the blogger wants rid of Cousins.

    Mayers (he's gone anyway)
    Vonleh (i don't think he'll be a complete bust)
    Aminu (even though i like him more than Batum).
    2017 or 2018 draft pick or Plumlee

    And for those of you who think Cousins is the only asshole in the NBA:

    Because people buy into this shit of getting a player who plays great but is also a loving family man,polite to everyone 100% of the time and finishes a book every week.

    Forget about it, no such thing as the perfect player, Kobe and Jordan were complete assholes and got multiple rings.
