    I still believe in TRob, hes gotta find the right fit though and hes gotta develop a mid-range game. Guy could be very good on the pick and roll if he added that mid-range J. Hes very mobile and athletic, but he gets roofed when flat footed under the rim. When you get him the ball as hes rolling toward the rim he can finish well. Sort of like David Lee.

    I would love to get Asik from Houston, but I think Houston realizes the value they have in Asik. A talented center on a decent contract (probably underpaid).

    They will keep him even if they get Howard, IMO.

    Until the third year, when he's paid $15M. At the same time they're paying Howard and Harden comparable sums. And Parsons will be feeling VERY butthurt.

    keep in mind that while his salary is 15 mil the third yr the capspace hit is the same each yr of his contract - I believe around 8.2 mil

    Sam Amico: Source in tune with Kings' hiring of Mike Malone as coach suggests move was made with the idea that DeMarcus Cousins "is a goner." Twitter @SamAmicoFSO

    If Cousins could be had at a reasonable price, fine, but he reminds me too much of Derick Coleman.

    10 million dollar talent, 10 cent head.

    It would interesting know what the perception of Kostas Papanikolaou is around the league.
    Because I would rather use him in any treade then #10. Simply because I would rather gamble on a SG in this draft then a international SF.

    I bet Sac Town can get a lot for Cousins. Cleveland (#1) or Charlotte (#4)??

    I'm pretty sure Cousins could be had for Batum. I'm pretty sure it would be a huge gamble, too.

    This summer is going to be a mess for some teams:

    If that's the case, Olshey should be fired for that not happening already

    They should fire Olshey for this even being a rumor and not getting anything done about it . . .

    Getting rid of Cousins is a combination salary and head-case dump. It wouldn't surprise me if Cousins could be had for less than Batum, just for taking on his salary. I'm not sure what else we have that they'd want, but I hope to god Olshey makes that phone call. We have a whole lot of picks to throw at them. As a total rebuild, they might find some gold there.

    Well that is kind like what happened to Gronkoswki of the Patriots. You can't have major surgery close together and Gronk has to wait 4 weeks sounds like GAllinari will have to wait a month and a half between operations.
