I recall last year when the trading for Cousins debate was going on and the MKG and Port, Det picks for Cousins was offered up and talked about and most of us totally laughed at it, I was one of them.

Its no laughing matter now. Cousins is playing insane basketball this year while keeping his freaking mouth shut.

I remember being one of the few that advocated for Charlotte to acquire DeMarcus Cousins

However, I also advocated against them including either of Kemba Walker or Michael Kidd-Gilchrist in the trade talks, and I still stand behind that, but I thought it would've been wise to trade those future 1st rounders w/ Bismack Biyombo for a up & coming big like Cousins, because it was easy to foresight that he'd be putting up these type of numbers

But the Kings still suck. That's the problem. If Boogie was really on the short list of best C's in the NBA the Kings shouldn't be nearly this bad.

I guess MJ wasn't that good either, since the Bulls sucked his first four seasons. Getting Pippen/Grant was the key.

Cousins is the only player on that roster that will ever sniff an all-star game. It won't happen overnight but him and Drummond are going to be the two best centers in the league soon and for a long time. I feel like we had legitimate chances to get both at one point or another and whiffed on both.

GSW fan here.

Was wondering if you guys are interested in Harrison Barnes? He's a good kid, very hardworking, but we feel he isn't exactly the kind of player this team needs (Seeing how Iggy pretty much helped us tremendously the other night). He's just in a position where we have guys who can score, and we don't need another scorer. Would you guys trade for him? How about:

Barnes + Lee + Bazemore for Biyombo/McRoberts + Sessions + Gordon?

Or what's a more reasonable trade scenario if you guys have a lot of interest in Barnes?

Like Barnes, lukewarm on Lee and his brutal contract. I think McBob would be a great fit in GSW, esp. beside Bogut. Hmmm... personally, I would probably pass, but tempting. Is your main incentive to dump Lee's contract?

I don't get to see Cousins play often but he looked like a force of nature last night. Big Al had no idea what to do with him.

I love Biz shotblocking and it would be hard to let go but I would definitely say yes to this offer. The rebuild will be over.

Pass on that trade. Lees contract is absolutely outrageous.

Hell I'd do that trade with Zeller instead of Biyombo. :lol:

Biz OR McBob? I'd give you McBob and run like we stole something. :smile:

I'm on record as being very fond of a potential Barnes/MKG wing tandem. We were speculating not too long ago about sending you guys Sessions and maybe a pick for him.

I don't know why gsw goes that deal what's in it for them..plus Barnes is a young player productive player on a rookie deal why deal him? What I am asking is what is wrong with?

Um, the Bulls made the playoffs their first 4 seasons with MJ (2nd round in year 4) and MJ only played in 18 games his 2nd year so...

Chicago didn't even have a winning record with Jordan until 1988.

He's only got two years left after this season - and Lee is a very, very good player.

Kemba - Barnes - MKG - Lee - Big Al

That could seriously move up into the top 4 in the East.
