    Meyers elite shooting with DMC's post scoring would be an awesome combo.

    Is he really that stupid? Maybe if he was playing for a contract, but he isn't. He has already cashed in. And he will continue to cash in if he wins. My guess he is already at the stage of wanting to win championships. And that means surrounding himself with other all stars. He can ask Lebron for advise on that.

    He had 3 good playoff games and 2 shitty ones. Let me see him do that with a healthy Conley he scored only 8 of his 26 points in game 3 with Conley on the court and most of those came while being guarded by Vince Carter. Udrih, Calathes and Carter were his primary defenders I am sorry if I don't swoon.

    McCollum and Leonard can become good NBA players but Boogie is already a great one, the Spurs might be able to gamble on McCollum and Leonard fitting their system and adding depth we dont have that system so we need talent above all else.

    So I'm the only person who wants nothing to do with DeMarcus Cousins? Dude might be the most talented player in the NBA, but can't seem to put it together.

    He also plays on a team that has no direction. He really hasn't been set up to succeed.

    I could be wrong but I remember Conley guarding Dame the first 3 games. TA occasionally guarded CJ in games 4 and 5 and CJ still played well.

    I get what yo are saying though, Conley and TA are probably the best defensive back court in the world. They make things very difficult. But then again aren't they kind of the exception? Most teams are not going to create that problem

    I don't think he fits into what they are trying to do character wise and culturally here.

    But if he plays with fire. I'm all for signing him up

    He's had 5 different head coaches and plays for a franchise that has been in turmoil since the mid 2000s

    "Boogie" is too urban. How about something down home like "Goober." Cows don't dance.

    Boogie is #1 on my want list. I would trade anybody but Dame and Meyers to get him - I think a Meyers/Boogie combo would be deadly. Maybe not next year, but by the following season for sure.
    DMC would be our #1 scoring option regardless of whether LMA is on the team. LMA can slide back to #3 where he should be. DMC>Dame>LMA

    Having Boogie would be unstoppable as long as Boogie actually understands that he's on a team. The only concern is "will he accept sharing the ball?" If that's true, then it would be a no brainer.

    Obviously, we couldn't trade Aldridge for him because Aldridge wouldn't support this deal. That would mean it would take Batum and Leonard IMO. Leonard would be a tough player to lose, but they would need a big in return if they are even interested.
