Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

[DoubleJ13]

You guys are seriously underestimating Kentucky fandom.

[WTF]

I'm a Kentucky Fan, and I didn't like him when he was here either.

[whoahello]

There could be many reasons why Cousins want to be traded. If one of those reasons is because he feels like he can be an all-star type of player, then being traded is the best for his future. It's tough to be a productive star when you have players like Marcus and Tyreke taking a combined 35-40 shots per game. Not mentioning Salmons, another player that likes to take bulky shots per game.

Like someone else said before, Cousins needs veteran leadership and a better coach. Maybe work out a three team trade between the Magic, Kings, and a third team that Dwight wants to play with?

Inquire about DeMarcus Cousins? Yes, because I think this is a situation for Cousins where a change of scenery would do him a world of good. Going to a club with strong locker room leadership would keep him in line with no problems.

But to offer Greg Monroe for Cousins? Hell no. Most of the Pistons players are obviously up for bargaining. But if the Kings are asking for a package involving Monroe, Knight, Jerebko or the Pistons 2012 first-round pick then I would tell 'em to go kick rocks.

Supposedly the Nets are intersted. Not sure if i want the knucklehead here, but we need bodies that can put the ball in the basket. But don't know what the Kings would want as all the Nets have is 1 year contract trash.

looks like Deron Williams is kinda hinting where he wants to go now

“I’m not Kobe Bryant or Kevin Durant or LeBron James,” Williams told the Daily News before scoring 16 points in Sunday’s 98-82 loss to the Cavaliers. “(Marketing value) depends on who you are, No. 1. I don’t think it’ll make a difference for me, which is why I don’t really care about big market, small market.”

“I’m sure I could make a couple more hundreds of thousands or something like that a year (on endorsements), or maybe a $1 million per year,” said the 27-year-old, who is married with four children. “But you could go somewhere in Florida or Texas and you’re not losing 8% state tax, plus you don’t have a city tax, plus the cost of living isn’t two times higher than anywhere else.”

Something tells me the dude is going to be in Orlando with Dwight Howard or Dallas with Dwight Howard next summer.....but he's been giving hints about Dallas for the past year now

lol @ "good to know who the real fans are though"

Dude, just because people call you out on your thuggish, immature, spoiled brat, ******* behavior, that doesnt mean anything regarding fans being "real" or "fake".

Loser. I hope this guy fails in his career.

[The 24th Letter]

You need to stop with that thuggish crap.

Anyone have any idea where Gilbert Arenas is going to sign? I thought he'd be balling by now..
