Agree, the basis could be something like Okafor or Noel plus one of Phillys good 1st rdrs and perhaps one or ours to Sac, Cousins to POR, CJ to Philly - additonal pieces thrown in for salary/value if needed (like Mason to Sac)
Hardly. Throwing around stupid money on average (and in some cases below average) players isn't "going out with a bang," that is the textbook definition of playing it safe -- raising your floor, but failing to raise the ceiling.
I rather have Brook Lopez for rotation guys than CJ for Boogie and everyone here knows how much i want to boogie.
Not disagreeing with you....but tonight Cousins and Gay led the Kings with the worst +/- (-15 and -14) at home against the Rockets.
Didn't watch the kings game, but I would take the +/- with a grain of salt. If it becomes frequent, then maybe Cousins is trying to force his way out of town
I was being a little facetious. People tend to be selective when it comes to +/-. The ET +/- discussion is ridiculous
What is ridiculous is that ET's is the WORST in the entire league. Not saying he is the worst player in the league(far from it) but being the absolute worst can't exactly be ignored either. He is almost always playing against bench players from the the other team so they should have a decline from the starters as well. Somehow when Turner is on the floor, we are almost always digging out of a hole.
I don't think Gay is shit; in fact just recently saw a rumor some team was offering some pretty good stuff for him.
