I wouldn't hate if Toronto sent a 2nd rounder for Barnes. I would hate having to look at him and root for him though. Toronto desperately needs a backup 3.
Boogie hits 3's better than Hield and Davis has a great mid range shot. Holiday is solid 3 pointer....so there will be more then enough space with average 3 point shooters at the wing spots.
The Kings GM in NBA 2K17 turned down NOP's offer.
Cousins was everything we needed - a player the other team has to pay attention to ALL the time, lettin the horses run free. I would honestly feel like a +105 vs GS and there aint no other team can say that so, even if he's a hateful sumbee gone in a yr & 1/4 - tho i feel he'd groove on the experience like Martellus did Pats '16 - woulda been worth it.
I hear ya and it was very intriguing...don't disagree about the best case scenario...the issue is he would have cost far more than what Bennett cost and if he flopped it would have been much more devastating...the C's aren't at a point where they need to be rolling the dice yet...
Apparently the last straw for Vivek was Cousins swearing at one of our fellow Warriors' fans. Shameful behavior really.
disagree w you both (tho moot now) - add butler, we can contend. add boogie, we can win. add no one, 2nd rd out and the league has another year to figure out how to neutralize a 5'7" guy. toronto already had before they filled their hole.
I fully expect them to make a big move so it is probably a moot point...and IT is not going anywhere...
saw this today as counter point: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2693953-the-winner-of-the-demarcus-cousins-trade-isnt-who-you-think-it-is
too.... disinterested to do the research... wasn't it commonly held belief about a year ago that, if anything, Hield had uncommonly rare shooting ability?
In catch and shoot situations he was thought to have a uncommonly rare ability, but he was no where near the shooter off the bounce, especially prior to his senior year. The rest of his game wasn't suited to be a top ten pick, especially because he was a senior. Personally, I never understood why he was in the conversation of the top 8 picks and I definitely didn't understand why he was picked ahead of Murray.
haven't lots of guys made millions doing just this one thing while being at best average in every other aspect?
Right now, he's looking like he's going to be more Anthony Morrow than JJ Redick or Kyle Korver (which were probably his ceiling comparisons). He'll have a place in this league for a long time, but I think it's more mediocre rotation player than exceptional starter.
that's fair
The consensus was all over the place for Hield. Now that he's been somewhat of a disappointment this season, people (myself included) are quick to pay themselves on the back.
Other than Murray who would you have taken over him? Even now, with hindside. He was the pick there (other than Murray).
It was put in place to prevent another KD to Dubs thing. It's meant to give hometown teams the advantage in retaining stars.... in this case Sacramento was scared to give Boogie the supermax (which I agree with). I think the Pels won the trade and I think Boogie is a great player, but he wasn't going to be a stud in Sac with the madness surrounding him. Sac made the right call in trading Boogie, but the majorly screwed up what they got in return.
That's fine, but why don't those rights transfer when that hometown team chooses to trade the player? 30 million is a lot to lose because of a decision you weren't a part of.
