    I think Sacramento knew maybe they wouldn't get anything better actually. Maybe cousins really is looked at that terribly by other teams

    They did it so suddenly that the offers probably never even had a chance to materialize.

    So, if NOLA had enough assets to get Boogie OR PG3, then we should have enough assets to get PG3:

    Well if we're still trying to get another big this could help us get a guy like Okafor since New Orleans is out of the picture.

    Sure. I agree i thought he could fetch a better prospect. I dont see Harkless as being a better prospect in peoples eyes outside of portland fans. He is more expensive and people have seen him play 4 1/2 years to Hields 1/2 year. Hield is still the "unknown" even though they are the same age.

    This reminds me a little of Zebo when we was traded from the knicks. His talent is more than what is offered. I am not a huge Boogie fan but I would have given up our 3 draft picks for him and sent Ezeli back home.

    Hahahahahaha!

    Dame is one of a very very few players that can lead Cousins. Lebron, but I don't even think Curry could. You put your belief in Lillard and make the trade for the best center in the game.

    You're assuming the Blazers wanted to make a deal. Maybe Olshey figured Cousins:

    A. Is a head case; and

    B. Wouldn't re-sign here.

    I suspect Olshey didn't make an offer.

    This reminds me of when Webber was traded to Washington to pair up with Juwan Howard. It didn't work.

    Juwan howard wasn't nearly as good as Webber, Davis OR Cousins.

    Yeah I have my doubts as well. It will either be a disaster or a huge success.

    If the make the 8th seed, it'll be interesting. The Pelicans perimeter defense sucks, but maybe they can slow the temp down to a grind.

    Sactown is totally falling below us in the standings now, but NO should pass us, so I guess it's a wash.

    I wonder with Magic helping to run the Lakers now if he did not kill any deals with his buddy Vlade.
    The Lakers have a great pick and many young players........yet no interest?
