Every contract is a rental, otherwise the NBA really would have owners..... Players now have unprecedented leverage to back out of their contracts, so long-term deals are more of an illusion than a reality. Get used to it!

I could very easily see Davis signing with Brooklyn next year and locking up the East for the next seven or eight years along with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. LBJ is on the other side of the Bell Curve and the Lakers window of opportunity has, perhaps, two years remaining, at best. If AD really wants championships, he would be best served in Brooklyn. Nothing would do my heart better than to see the La-La-Lakers pay New Orleans a king's ransom for a one year player rental.

But. It 100% WASN'T what happened. When he was traded here he had a year and a half left on is deal and he played across 2 seasons for us.
Should we actually call Solomon Hill's deal a 2 and 1/2 year deal because he lost an entire season basically to injury and barely played last year? Should we call Asik's deal 2 year because he missed basically 2 seasons to injury? That's crazy. No. You base it off of what the contract had left. Cousins played across 2 seasons for us and has a year and a half left on his contract. Calling it a 1 year rental is absolutely impossible.
Whichever makes you happy. I can see people calling it a one year rental because he literally played one year. I can see it being called a 1 1/2 year rental because that is approximately what was left of his contract when we traded for him (actually about a year and 2 months). I cannot see it being called a 2 year rental as he did not play that long nor was his remaining contract that long. Regardless, it is all semantics as we all know what happened.
