    Build around Meyers and Cousins. Two man game, Cousins low post, Meyer's behind the 3 point line. Other 3 players are there just to pass the ball and set screens. Its the evolved Ranadive offense.

    It's just interesting how CJ was a throw in for deals just two months ago. Now we're hesitating in giving him up for a young, all star big man.

    Testament to CJ's improvement and Boogie's decline.

    Like the Yankees picking up Chapman for almost nothing.

    el prez is right, CJs trade value is at its peak and Boogies is bottoming out. In the trade lined up though, we give up way too much defense and depth imo

    I'd rather ply Boban from the Spurs bench or Vucevic from Orlando and give up much less depth

    LeBron James trade value is also bottoming out.

    Dealing CJ/Leonard/Davis wouldn't hit us that hard. Slide Crabbe to the starting two spot, give Kaman some minutes and play Boogie at power forward.

    If Sac is trading their big, then they need a big in return to play along side Willie Cauley Stein. Leonard makes sense to me

    So Leonard, Aminu, Henderson, and Vonleh would be my offer.
    I bet they would want Crabbe or CJ, but I would say no.

    Last year, I was all for it. This year, I kinda don't want him and his attitude. Same reason I wouldn't want Rondo on the Blazers under any circumstances. He may be talented, but he may also be toxic. Not worth it.

    Thats exactly what I wanted to say. For some reason, people get blinded by stats. I'm not sure if people think Portland is "different" or that Damian can "put the reigns" on him,but the guy is a tool. A tool is a tool is a tool.

    Let someone else try to fix him.

    That's a great trade for Sacto. Clears out a head case and guarantees a lotto rebuild.

    Also: Damn you to hell!
