The point is you make the offer, let them say no if they are going to but at least you tried. After that playoff series McCollum and Leonards value has to be over inflated some add 2 draft picks and you got to imagine the Kings would at least listen, especially considering what random garbage package they are likely to see from the Celtics.
Without LA or dame, the trade doesn't get done. No management is that stupid, no matter how delusional you are to think they would do it.
I really think Boogie needs a change of scenery. He reminds me a lot of Z-Bo. I would love to be the team that finally reaps the benefits of all that talent like Memphis with Zach, but it's hard to imagine a scenario where he ends up here.
The more I think about it, the more I realize it would probably take trading CJ, Leonard and Batum to get him. Personally, I think it would be worth it to grab him. A trio of Boogie, Dame and Aldridge would be a legit big 3.
The Kings want to see whether what George Karl did with Shawn Kemp, he can do with Cousins. But they have no Bob Whitsitt to fill in talent around him.
If Sacramento did get rid of Cousins, it would almost certainly be at the behest of their owner. Said owner is (in)famous for coaching a girls team to a championship by pressing NON-STOP. He has seriously asked the coaching staff to consider playing 4 on 5 on defense so that one player could just cherry-pick. So the players he would be interested in in exchange for Bookie would likely be the kind that would thrive in a run-n-gun offense. So I'm betting, if you offered Lillard, CJ and Leonard, that would be a trade that would go down. Ask yourself: do you want Boogie that much? Think about it: assume we get LaMarcus back and we have a monster frontline. Also assume we get Wes back. Our main need (of course) would be a PG. Rondo would almost certainly be available. Or, failing that, I bet you could prevail upon The Best Player Not In The NBA, Vassilis Spanoulis, to give it another try if he was promised a starting PG role. Not saying I'd do it: I almost certainly wouldn't. Just trying to ascertain how much you want Boogie.
Hmm Rondo and Boogie on the Blazers, that has Bob Whitsitt written all over it. Not saying it would not work, just that the chemistry of the team would not be considered.
I also would not trade Lillard, CJ and Meyers for reputed head case Cousins. I don't want Rondo on the Blazers at any price.
HAHAHA you want to go from a starting PG of allstar Damian Lillard to Rondo or some euro project? I can't tell if you are serious or not with your posts. If its an elaborate long standing April fools joke well done sir.
Well done ignoring everything of substance in the post and obsessing at an offhand comment at the end.
