    We likely will not upgrade the starters this year or change in any way disregarding injuries.
    Stauskas>brewer
    Holmes>kj
    It also cuts our current salary by 7mill with only 1mill committed past this season. Basically an extra 10mill this offseason by upgrading your bench and flexibility.

    I think your being too caught up in acquiring the splash home run instead of the likely single.

    He is quietly putting together a really good season. Very effecient this year.

    Yeah, he seems too much like Dwight, nor do we have enough to get him here.

    DAMN, our 3rd unit keeps getting blown out in garbage time. We need to trade them now. Getting tired of losing 25+point leads and only winning by 15

    Any one that wouldn't take Cousins for Brewer, KJ and 2 firsts....shouldn't be allowed to call themselves a basketball fan. :D

    I know Cousins is a head case, but I would be too if I had been in Sactown that long. But dude, how would he NOT fit in MDA's system when he can post up, shoot midrange, run PnR and shoots 38% from 3 as a FREAKING CENTER? o_O

    We all know that would never be the case. And no I would not want Cousins here unless he played off the bench or started games and we didn't have to pass into the post all game long. What's the point of having a guy that gets us stats but doesn't translate to team chemistry. Chemistry is how you win in the playoffs.

    Sure. I doubt Cuban would even answer the phone but Bogut is literally the best fit for what we need now... Not sure if he could stay healthy though.

    Yeah I was literally just thinking that i'd love to see the Rockets pick up a productive big that is also an enforcer.

    I guess I would be ok with Bogut if he was available, but I reeeeaally don't like him. I just want to make a real run at the title THIS YEAR.

    I'm not sure bogut fits in chemistry wise. Seems like a couple players legit don't like him.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure Bogut won't be coming to Houston after that nasty elbow to James.

    No. Chemistry wins you a good regular season record. Talent wins in the playoffs. Talent, hard work, and luck = chsmpionship.

    He have to add chemistry in there somewhere.

    Lakers team with Malone and Payton for example had the talent but not the chemistry.
