Is Kupchak planning a trade?

[shopson67]

the Spurs would have to be drug-crazed insane to let that guy walk...

Yep, I think the only attainable RFA swingmen are probably Khris Middleton and maybe Tobias Harris. DeMarre Carroll is UDFA, so no matching worries there. Thaddeus Young opted out of his contract, so he's a possibility as well (and has played some PF if needed).

Stopped reading at the bold because I couldn't stop laughing.

I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair.

To answer the question of this thread; He sure as hell is trying to get Cousins.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Yes he is Retro.

I've never seen a GM so desperate to trade away the #2 pick (and possible franchise center) before.

i keep saying Sactown wants too much for this guy. ah well...

 

[Retroram52]

Well, now the Lakers are considering Randle, Clarkson, and the #2. apparently if they get the number 6, they'll replace Clarkson with a SG I guess or they are going after Dragic. It appears on its merits that somebody has a real stiffy for Cousins because now they are willing to let all those assets go.

can't believe they are wanting to deplete the young core of this team and create more holes in the starting lineup just to get Cousins?

someone is taking some crazy pills.

Not sure THEY know who they want?! Probably should get that figured out!

If we get a big out of this, great, draft Russell. If we get a guard, like a Dragic, draft Okafor.

Problem is, the draft is before FA begins! Uggghhh!!
