DMC would be great. but my guess is if we can make something like that happen, it will end up being mid season when he realizes how horrible it is playing with rondo. we just have to hope that he says he wants to leave before the team says don't worry DMC we are going to get rid of rondo.
indeed there is I was more playing on the thought that rondo will be what sets him over the edge. I am guessing his technical foul numbers will be a decent indicator of this. lol
they get hosed because prospects burn out as often as they fulfill even the slightest of optimistic hopes. And players as good as him get a big package.. think of Melo... He netted Denver Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Ray Felton back when he was decent and not a fat piece of shit and someone else that I forget along with picks. Thing is, I'd want to get rid of Aminus $8M so that we could pursue a max level player in the offseason.. also because you want floor spacers around DMC.
that's what I'm thinking.. dealing with Rondo and Karl after years of mediocrity might be too much. It'd be great to get him at the trade deadline. Hopefully we'd have a terrible record by then cuz Id wanna put Labissiere at the 5 next to Cousins.... that's a match made in heaven.
I believe Mosgov was also a part of that deal. Of course, you apparently also forgot that NY got Chauncey Billups, Renaldo Balkman, and Shelden Williams from Denver, as well as Corey Brewer from Minnesota.
Now this Im down for!!! all three of those guys can be replaced because there really isn't much upside left, except for Plumlee, but his D can be a liability. Much rather do this and then fill in the roster with role players and that's a contender right there as long as CJ and Leonard improve as projected.
I really hope we make a run at trading for Boogie at the deadline. I think there's a good chance that he could be traded at that point, and I think we have the pieces to put together a good package. We should use the first half of the season to try building trade value in guys like Harkless, Plumlee, Henderson, Aminu, and Davis. If push comes to shove we could include McCollum OR Leonard OR Vonleh, but only one of them.
It's true that the team giving up the star usually ends up withthe worse end of the deal and, even those I intially thought that offer is too much, I think sac would still be on the losing end of it. I really do like a lot of the young guys you have but Plumlee is a rotation player, will never be an all star. Noah could end up being good but at this point looks like a bust. CJ is Monta at best in my opinion. And with Cousins I think you make the playoffs so odds are they get nothing worthwhile with those picks. After a few seasons, this trade will be seen as the best C in the league for no one that Sac fans even remember.
I think CJ could be a more efficient, better defender version of Monta. Plumlee is an above average center (per 36). And Vonleh was hurt almost all year so you can't make an accurate read on him
Not really, Although that 2000 Blazers team was great and fun to watch! I really miss them sometimes.
Can you please explain your notion that Noah is a bust when he was injured most of last year, is only 19 and just made summer league All NBA? For as many of us who think he has a huge upside, we have been told its too early too tell, well wouldn't that be the same if we are calling him a bust? You have to explain yourself on that to be taken seriously. I do like your last sentence though!
