    Not sure what to think of Cousins. He has some amazing abilities to get the ball in the hoop. But there's countless times he just gives up on defense, yells at refs, gets technicals, or doesn't even go to half court. Both him and the team need a change; but I'd get real frustrated when he is pulling that crap for my favorite team. If fans thought Rasheed, ZBo, Batum or Aldridge could be annoying to root for this guy would take the cake.

    You hope he can limit it with the right people, organization, culture, and players around him.

    That was Trader Bob's philosophy. Pick up the talent that people don't want due to character issues. Almost worked.

    Does Seth Curry remind anyone else of CJ McCollum? They have very similar games.

    Magic # is 1.

    We need either one more win or one more HOU loss to clinch. We're playing OKC tonight while HOU is @ DAL

    I like Harkless, he's a very weird player.
    He's not a star,not sure he's even a legit starter and yet it seems totally reasonable for me to expect him to make about 4-6 points each quarter.

    Boogie is very talented and very crazy, he reminds me of Rasheedo so much!

    I still love cousins and his game. I wish there was a way we could get him without giving up CJ but here's a scenario; would you trade CJ for Cousins and sign DeRozan? If that's financially possible I would.

    Objectively - yes, it's a good decision.
    Subjectively - no, i enjoy CJ's game too much.

    Yeah from a fantasy basketball perspective it's clearly an upgrade in talent.

    In the real world with an actual team and DameCJ being best friends, their positives proven to help each other so much on the court no you don't make that move. Way too much risk. Sets a bad vibe and work place atmosphere if a guy as successful as CJ is let go.

    Now maybe you sign DeRozen first; and if it doesn't work out trade somebody.

    In this era of "guards basketball" i just want Neil to sign Derozen to start at SF, extend Crabbe or Hendo and i'm a happy camper.
