    Neither is Felton, but that didn't stop us from using him at that spot. ;)

    Wife? Methinks you may have to reverse the gender assignments in that relationship.

    All I know we properly won't end up with anyone of these guys. That would mean we got stood up on that date.

    No longer interested in DMC - his future salary is cost-prohibitive. I would only salary-dump for him, with the idea that we wouldn't re-sign him this summer unless it were for a reasonable amount.

    We have more assets outside of Lillard and McCollum than New Orleans has outside of Davis.

    We have assets good for a rebuild (Harkless, Crabbe, Vonleh, 3 firsts).

    New Orleans has oft-injured, expiring vets (Evans, Holiday), a pick, a bust in Hield, as well as 1 first and a bunch of bad contracts.

    So if Sacramento is engaging in serious talks with the Pelicans, it shows that Cousins could be had without giving up Lillard or McCollum

    If you traded Dame, who would you go get to replace him at point guard? Preferably I'd want someone defensive minded and tall.

    But I would MUCH rather have PG than Cousins, and it's not even close.

    If SA trades LMA for Cousins I will both laugh and cry.

    Don't think Neil is after him anyways. It's gonna make me sick if some team gets him for practically nothing though. Doubt he gets moved
