Some of these are of higher quality than others, and most are working off the same sets of interviews and quotes, but its the heart of the dead season in the NBA, and for once a team like the Pels is getting a lot of chatter, so thought I would collect them up for offseason entertainment purposes:

Not positive here, picking up on the same comment I shook my head at:

Cousins' recruitment has included the biggest names in the league, btw.

Cousins seems to have more reach with players than people give him credit for.

08-05-2017, 06:14 PMBricklayerHe's a smart guy, Team USA for years with all those contacts, a prominent part of the Kentucky family which composes a major chunk of the league, All Star games, and of course Sactown passed half of the league (the lower half of course) through Sactown in their eternal churn since they drafted him. And he's always doing these charity games and whatnot every summer too just to increase his reach even further.Quote:

I was interested to read the quotes of Boogie waxing so positively about his relationship with Dell. Guy must be doing something right.

And the Melo possibility does not really shock me either -- he's always really liked Melo on Team USA. This article goes so far as to claim Melo was his idol. Sure they have a lot of bro conversations about George Karl. -

I hate that there's zero legs to this. Cousins tweets some eyes or says Truth to someone saying it'd be awesome if Melo came here and because it's a slow news cycle...
Oh whatever. -
08-07-2017, 09:24 PMMythrolI mean Melo's value is pretty low around the league. We just saw what Jimmy Butler and Paul George got in trades too. Maybe a 3rd team could get involved if the Knicks prefer young players.Quote:

Also, the Rockets don't have their 2018 pick, and they don't seem to want to give up Ariza (CP's homie, even though if it comes down to it, he may be included since they just signed PJ Tucker).Quote:

.... Pels seems to have the better offer there. Dependent on Melo willing to waive his no-trade clause for the Pels, of course. -

Diallo is where I say no. Not for a one year rental on a 33 year old Melo. But man it would be nice to get him.
