    Reading Sactown blogs, it appears their fans are done with him. After getting ejected in a close game again last night, it seems they have come to the realization that they need to get rid of him to improve. And they are also at the realization that his value is very low at the moment.

    I am of the mindset that he just needs a team that already has strong leadership and a foundation for him to do his thing, but also keep his emotions on the floor in check. I think we have that in Dame, Terry, and Neil upstairs. He won't need to be the face of the franchise both on and off the floor here. I feel like adding him to POR is similar in ways to DET adding Sheed.

    What's the most you'd give up for him?

    CJ/Davis/Leonard for Cousins/McLemore

    Dame/Frazier
    Crabbe/Hendo/McLemore
    Aminu/Harkless
    Cousins/Vonleh
    Plumlee/Kaman

    Push for the playoffs.

    That's not nearly enough. Not even close.

    Is our pick tradeable considering it's already owed to DEN if we make the playoffs?

    "That's not nearly enough. Not even close."

    Why not? They need a better two and Ed Davis is as good a Center as they'd get for him

    Harkless was dumped for a second rounder a couple months ago. He hasn't improved his stock that much. Sac wanted LA's lottery pick back in June. I don't think they're that desperate.

    No way I trade Ed Davis and CJ for that cancer.

    Maybe Kaman and a box of voodoo donuts.

    And I owe you a bitchslap yuyuza:

    I don't know if I'd do it for Portland either, so I definitely wouldn't offer anything better

    We went to the WCF with JR Rider.... and Cousins isn't even remotely as bad as Rider. He might be the most talented big offensively in the NBA. He needs out of Sac in the worst way. That was a horrible marriage from the start. I think he would do well here.

    If he'd be a potential number 1 here, I wouldn't want him.

    He's the new Sheed but a much better talent.

    Rider was an off court goofball, but wasn't ever a locker room cancer that I know of... That's a huge difference.

    Just keep Dame's little buddy around and he'll be fine.
