I watched the late replay of that Sacramento New Years eve win where Cousins got tossed for throwing Smart to the floor....
A short time later, Gorman asked Tommy "If you are the coach, what do you do with a player like him?"
Tommy answered " I'd trade him.."
Wondering if Tommy actually meant that? .....Or if the whole deal isn't this big one act play to get Cousins traded away to Boston?
We've picked their pockets trade-wise more times than any team in the league over the years... and Tommy has had a hand in that before this.....Perhaps this is just another such effort?
Sure...the guy has had some huge emotional problems in the past...but he's an enormous talent!.....That foot work on that stuff over Zeller was no accident....
Not at all sure that Tommy and Marcus aren't just good actors too? ....You know?... Marcus might have just taken one for the team?
These days, nothing surprises me much...
It would surprise me a lot if someone told Tommy before the game to make comments disparaging Cousins in an effort to lower his trade value.
I don't think we have to go out of our way to make Cousins look bad (on a personal behavior level not talent level, though he did lay an egg the other night)
We just got to keep collecting and improving assets so when there is a real latelt on the blaok and we want him we can get him. We found out in the summer we are not there yet was we couldn't get Love. We need to make sure that next time around we can't be out bid.
Capela spends the majority of his time in the d-league and he's been pretty dominant there. Morey never wanted him to come over so early (this year) but Capela wanted to play now. I'm not giving up on him and I doubt Morey has either. Capela just turned 20. Morey would trade his mother for a good deal and the Rockets are trying to win now. I wanted to measure what it would take to land Wright to appease another fanbase in a different deal. Thank you for your reply24istheLAW wrote:red96 wrote:Hello Boston fans.

Could you tell us more about how Capela has performed for the Rockets so far?
On paper it looks good, but I'd like to know why Houston is so quick to give up on him in the first place.

Tommy and Gorman have been around the block a time or two....and they have some unique insight on what might be in the works....
And perhaps you might catch an episode or two of the reality show Down East Dickering to see just how you can make a sweet deal to buy good stuff cheap....
You always wait till the price of an item is lowered significantly before you try to buy it...You know?....... You smile allot and you never give a sucker an even break...
Just don't be too surprised if something completely outrageous happens....
You want the King's management to think you are doing them a favor by taking "the problem child" Marcus Cousins off their hands....

I don't think they are trading Len.
I'd go for Bradley/Wright x Thomas/Plumlee.
I think it's a really fair trade for both sides.
They'd want something like a lotto pick or whatever for Len and I don't see Ryan trading him in his 2nd season. Just not gonna happen, too much potential there.

Impossible. Maybe Bradley + assets for dragic, but only in next summer.
