    You and I are on the same page man and is actually completely possible. Remember, they also traded us Artest and Martin in the past back when they were the face of the franchise.

    What I posted in the Cousins thread. Sure, I don't think it will happen only because we couldn't be so lucky but this is something I've quietly wished for.

    I'm never on the whole "Lets trade Dwight Boat", but for those who are...Realistically do y'all think that Dan Fegan is going to knowingly send one of his top clients to Houston whilst another one of his top clients is left to fend for himself in the jungle that is Kings management...Fegan will do anything in his power to send Boogie to a big market like LA, he has more pull than people think in this situation...Dangling one of his top clients is not good for his brand

    (Not to mention that other teams can offer much better building blocks than we can haha)

    OK, forget about the consequences in terms of perception to other NBA players after a move like that. How about we just focus on the events immediately preceding the trade?

    Dwight was an absolute force in the first round and arguably the most consistent Rocket throughout the playoffs. He was a huge part of why we were able to overcome the loss of TWO starters and advance to the WCF.

    As successful as last season was, you'd risk all the progress we've made for a historic loser and malcontent?

    I think it is a horrible move and indicates desperation and poor decision-making from the FO.

    Understand that this is coming from a fan of Boogie and I'd entertain this only if we were coming off a disappointing season.

    I agree 100% ...

    Boogie is a very good player, but he hasn't shot 50% or more during his NBA career ... think about that for a second. That's a really low FG% for a center. We all know DeAndre Jordan can't shoot FT's, but his FG% was 71.0 this season ... just saying. :rolleyes:

    I guess Jahill Okafor is better.

    The draft night looks to be the most exciting in years. Bledsoe Cousins Rubio Lawson...all could be traded then. Cant wait to see the craziness go down. Hopefully we have a few cyber bombs in the meantime.

    What? AHAHAHA

    Cousins takes jump-shots, thats why.

    All DeAndre does is alleys n dunks, not even comparable, like zero comparison

    So you are saying Cousins doesn't have an inside game? If you play at the 5, you need to have an inside game and your FG% has to be near 60% ... I know DeAndre dunks almost every time. But Cousins needs to be more efficient, IMO.

    Almost 60% ? LOL

    Hakeem never got close to 60%.... Centers should be around 50%+, now if a center shoots as well, then its ok to be a little lower, kinda like Marc Gasol.

    We have 0% chance of getting Boogie, but it would awesome to see the pro-Boogie/anti-Rockets media have to decide which way to go if he was traded here.

    Well, you're right. Not close to 60% ... but in his first 13 season Hakeem had more than 50% and overall 51.56% during that period.

    I guess, we both agree that centers should be around 50%+ ...
