OT Yet another reason to bring Cousins

[TBpup]

could be true
Clyde really homered out with Houston after leaving here

To be fair, Houston was his home to begin with.

Yeah, I'm definitely not into giving up CJ to get Cousins. However, I would be open to trading pretty much any reasonable combo of anyone else to get him. I don't think we can get him this summer, but perhaps by next deadline? Let's see what BOS does - if they don't get him this summer, that improves our chances at getting him later down the line.

In fantasy-land, I would love if we could do Plumlee/Vonleh/+ for Cousins: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=h7w28rx

And then Aminu/Crabbe/+ for Rose: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=gv7mxyg (Although with DMC we wouldn't need Rose...my original idea regarding Rose was that he fills our need for a 3rd scorer and helps reduce Dame's minutes to keep him fresher.)

We'd re-sign Harkless and Henderson. And then we'd need to find a combo SF/PF.

Dame/Rose
CJ/Henderson
Harkless/Back-up
Davis/Back-up
Boogie/Meyers

I liked this post because that lineup is fucking sick.... However, neither of those trades would ever happen.

If you cvan figure out how to keep Aminu in all of this, I think he is your backup SF/PF.
I would be all down and in agreement for this, but think Aminu is a great off the bench stop gap that you are looking for.

He's an Aminu hater.

this is very true, but it still feels like the blazers get much less love from him than they probably should.

Some don't want to hear it, but I think Clyde has been reduced to being a Blazer bandwagoner. When the Blazers get into a hotly contested 2nd round playoff series, he'll jump aboard - probably not earlier.

"Kings will reportedly test Cousins' trade value"

the source for this report is basically a Sacramento version of Canzano. Read the column--Ailene Voisin basically extrapolated this opinion from Divac not answering a question about how Karl's firing reflected on the team's commitment to Boogie, and then Matt Moore took that column and interpreted it as a "report" that the Kings are shopping him. This is like the telephone game on steroids.
