DeMarcus Cousins? {merged}

I was thinking the same thing Eman... I guess as a Saints/Pels fan its in our blood to always think "playerX" doesn't like us.

When is the press conference?

He's hit 37% of his 3 pointers since the start of December on 131 attempts. I think its pretty safe to say that he's at least an average or slightly above average 3 point shooter at this point in his career that just got off to a slow start in a new system. We can't forget that the guy came in with way too much pressure considering he's just meant to be a 3-D, glue guy, but the fan base expected 15 ppg because they still see this 11 mil price tag as a fringe all-star type contract.

Yeah, all the joking, laughing, and smiling gave me that impression as well.

We have nothing left to put together for another superstar. If he's truly on the market, I don't see how anyone outbids Boston.

Point is you know Dell is working to make this a possibility.

It may be a serious mortage of the future, but its possible. AT LEAST the 2019 & 2021 picks have to go.

2019 1st
2021 1st
Solo
Fraizer
Moore
A bunch of 2nds

He can opt out to be a FA at same time as Cousins will be a FA.

We had Buddy and a 2017 lottery pick. Those were assets. Now you can argue about how valuable those assets were, but they clearly had value. And let's not forget it was Sacramento we were dealing with.

Maybe George would like to play here :) With him IMO we would have second best starting five in the whole NBA. That might be appealing to him :)

I'd argue it rivals GS and CLE. Jrue/ETM/PG13/AD/Boogie would be nightmarish defensively as you can stick Moore on the weakest perimeter player or start QPon in his place (if he ever returns) when we play GS.

If Vlade worked for Indiana I'd say we had a shot at PG13.

So in this scenario, the Pacers trade us their top-15 player for some combination of Hill/Ajinca/Diallo/Jones/Asik and draft picks starting two years away. Yea seems realistic...

Could you imagine the collective sports worlds minds exploding if we pulled it off though Lmao

Yeah... I can't even get myself to imagine this happening because we have no ammo remaining. All we have are contracts. Bad ones.

If you throw in a third or fourth team and are willing to send out the 2019, 2021, and 2023 1sts with light protections you open up some possibility. Whoever receives the picks could be allured by the fact that the pells could SUCK if PG13 and Boogie leave summer 2019. It is not totally unfeasible because this team is not guaranteed past 2019.

AD/Boogie/PG13 (Jrue would have to be shipped to get PG13) that would be the best Big 3 since The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost.

No, we had a 2016 #6 overall pick and a 2017 pick along with a large expiring. We have nothing at all by bad contracts to offer now.

The same logic applies then. No one would think Hield was an asset at all normally.

We are in an anything can happen world.
