Game Thread GAME# 10: KINGS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 11, 2016 - FRIDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), CSNNW

Hey DW....do you get roster updates pregame as to who starts?

 

I would trade anyone outside of Dame for Cousins.

 

If we don't board against this team we could be in trouble. Right now every scouting report is to crash the offense board against us.

 

He's going to destroy all our bigs tomorrow. I would trade McCollum for him but CJ is so close with Lillard I doubt Olshey would. It would go against the culture he's been preaching about since he's gotten hired.

Also there's no way we get Cousins without giving up CJ (Dame shouldn't even be discussed, he's untouchable.) If we did, might as well build Olshey a statue.

 

Nothing in the original post about what is going to happen when the riots move to the Rose Quarter!!

 

Will be good for Cousins to get some Moda Center experience because he moves here in two months.

 

I don't see the point in trading CJ for Cousins. We'd still need a 3rd option and chemistry would take a hit.

 

I don't buy that Kings will not sell unless for a huge price. He will be gone next year anyway and they will not make playoffs even with him this year or next year because the team is a mess. They will have to reset but nobody will give them a huge price for a character like Boogie. If we offer them Aminu, Crabbe and Plumlee and a pick for example, this would probably be as good as they are going to get, three competent players who they can keep for years. Alternatively you can swap one of them for any of Davis, Turner and Leonard, depending on who they like. It's IMO very doable and even probable.

CJ for Cousins they would bite at instantly, he has a long deal and is one of top 5 shooting guards in the league. It's a no brainer between a top, young SG tied for 5 years and a disgruntled center who will leave in 1 year.

 

No Brainer. Would really like to Keep Harkless, Leonard and Plums though, if possible.

 

the only guys I'm NOT willing to include in a trade for boogie is dame/cj/hark/noah/jake, would like to keep ed too but if it got the deal done I could cope with it.

 

Your right. I like your keeps better.

 

My guess is they don't want 3 or 4 players in return for Cousins. 2 players, plus as many draft picks as possible for him. Cleveland 1st, our first, maybe a future 1st as well?

 

They will want players in return, they need to somehow compensate for the loss, ideally someone of value who they will be able to keep and develop. We have many of them. Our picks are not worth that much as they will be mid 20s but nobody will give them high picks AND players for 18 months of Cousins.

Back to the game, it's a must win. They are tired from loss to Lakers and generally not that good.

 

Looking for another dominating Dame performance.

 

I also think it's a false notion that we would have to trade CJ to get Cousins.

 

They won't get 3 firsts. Two would be pushing it, but I could see Neil caving and giving both ours and CLE's with 3 players from a group consisting of Crabbe/Aminu/Davis/Plumlee/Meyers/Vonleh/Turner/Layman. Personally I would not want to include Vonleh or Layman, but I think if push comes to shove Neil would do it.
