    I think it's clear that he's got maturity issues... whether they will be permanent or not is the question.

    Actually, the MAIN question is the cost of acquisition. I doubt we'd be willing to pay as much as Sacramento would be wanting. It's simply too soon to dump a lottery pick that's showed so much potential in his short time with the team.

    I agree: I just don't think Petrie is going to second-guess himself this quickly. He knew all the risks, and you might argue that he hedged against them by acquiring Dalembert. He just isn't going to trade Cousins.

    Ha! I forgot he was also kicked out of practice just a few months into his career.

    Even with that I think with a center starved team like Portland and the lack of centers available via trade or draft (for at least the next three years) I think you have to make a push for DeMarcus.
