DeMarcus Cousins to Golden State

ah

 

Definitely. This is why Neil has maintained that he doesn't want to trade CJ. Keeps his value high.

 

CJ and our pick next year for Kawhi and we take Green off their hands with the TPE.

CJ is better than Covington and Saric. Those guys are good but they’re role players. Now if LA offers up Ingram it’s another story, but I don’t think that’s on the table yet.

 

To add to that, I'm sure pop isn't interested in tanking next year,so a guy like CJ is a good get

 

I don’t think cj would of been part of that deal. From what I have been reading, teams weren’t offering very much for boogie most likely because of his injury. I’m thinking it was more so a player like aminu with a pick or something. I think boogie would of been cheap. He won’t be ready to play tlll February anyway.

 

Without CJ or Kawhi (if he's not healthy yet), we could potentially be tanking for a high pick too.

 

Yeah. We could even expand it to include Moe or Aminu.

 

The money would have to match if we were signing him to a long term deal as part of the sign and trade. Why else would he want to come to Portland?

 

If it was a sign and trade it probably would’ve been a max offer. Otherwise we could’ve just given Cousins the MLE ourselves, just like golden state did. And since it was probably the max, or close to it, we would’ve had to match salaries..hence CJ. A CJ/Holiday backcourt is yummy if you’re the pelicans.

 

I'm for that. 2016-17 Kawhi was arguably the best player in the NBA, one of the best 2 way players of all time. He's incredible and the city of Portland would love him.

 

Yep. We'd be making Pelicans better than us, but long term if Cousins got healthy, it would make us a better team.

 

This ain’t the try league, it’s the get it fucking done league. So far Mr. Used Car Salesman hasn’t been able to close shit and I, for one, wanna see his stink far far away from this team.

Cousins' decision came down to the Warriors and the Boston Celtics, according to ESPN.com's Chris Haynes. A potential Pelicans sign-and-trade with the Portland Trail Blazers hit a "road block" because of Cousins having the same agent as restricted free agent Jusuf Nurkic, per Haynes. Cousins told Spears he was shocked the Pelicans didn't make an offer, per Garland Gillen of WVUE-TV

 

CJ, Aminu or Harkless, and a first round pick for Kawhi and Gasol or Green let’s gooooo.

 

Highlights of Neil's Resume:

Trading Eric Gordon for CP3
Drafting Dame Lillard instead of Harrison Barnes
Turning RHJ, Steve Blake, and a pick into Nurkic and Collins

It's not like he hasn't accomplished anything in this league. He drafted CJ too.

 

Right. Which is why we should forfeit, which means not playing the game at all.

 

Yeah I saw this just now too. Seems as teams passed on him or didn’t offer a lot. Then the warriors came in clutch and closed the deal

I love Aminu but I would do a dance if that happened. If we can keep Kawhi AND Aminu, that makes our defense really really awesome. We could guard Golden State.

 

Man then I don’t know if that’s worth it. That’s a huge risk. A boogie that wouldn’t of been ready till February and could never be the same but if he’s healthy then yeah that would of been a good decision. I forgot about salary and cap there for a bit lol.
