Except blowing our wad on Okafor and Collison isn't enough to win a championship and takes away our assets to land any more impact players.
I'm going to say this and u can file this where you want, yhe hornets are trying to get Rip and Prince for peja,peterson,and wright. The holdup is dumars wants collison so he can trade him for another talent. Dumars want to shed the contract years of rip and get more financial flexibility. In N.O., they think they can make a run with paul,rip,prince,west,and okefor. They're not trading okefor.
Have you looked at Okafor's contract, the length, and his production? While getting Collison would be terrific, Collison's situation being the opposite of Okafor's (long, cheap rookie contract and terrific production), Okafor would be a cap millstone around our necks for years. No thanks!
Wolves won't draft Cousins at #4 Link Possible trade with the Kings or Warriors and snatch Cousins for ourselves?
I think Don Nelson would have to be overruled for the Warriors to draft Cousins, so there's a chance for a trade there. Pistons obviously take him, no questions asked.
I wonder how much Collison is actually worth... Aaron Brooks is such a great for THIS team... I just think that even if he's out there, our PG position is pretty much settled with Brooks/Lowry.
