Team backed out of Cousins. Sacramento liked the Vuc/Fournier deal, but Orlando wasn't prepared to do it.

Why are people surprised about this? We all know this was a Martins and Skiles trade that was forced into Rob to acquire two of "Skiles guys." Everybody keeps blaming Rob but he would have never done this trade if Martins just stayed the F out. Everybody knows we got a sh*t deal for Tobias. That was all orchestrated by management.

If there is nothing available..... i'm fine with that.... rather than taking shots just to say we made another trade. Enjoy gordon back at the pf postion.... and ross as a new player.... and embrace the tank

Lot of pressure on Rob. Early on felt like they were on the path. Good players, not great. Gave up on Tobias too soon. Significant pressure on Hennigan. Serge was a mistake. Had to cut losses. Plan was to play differently than the league, it didn't work. Guard wise they've been active. They've had convos about Reggie Jackson. Is Detroit ready to give him up?
Orlando is active. But, you've got a GM who had 1 vision, and Vogel who has a different one. Vogel is on a long contract, Hennigan is not. Where the power lies right now is interesting. I think Vogel might have more voice right now, more than Hennigan. Puts Rob in a tough spot.

I bet this is the "better offer" Vlade Divac mentioned. The agents probably squashed it.

Disagree. At least one of the 'vets' is being dealt (now whether Elfrid or Mario get thrown in to make it a bigger deal, we'll see). Don't be surprised if we hear nothing until Thursday.
