I'm not saying this year, that's why I based it on Jimmer's development. But what other reason would they be acquiring YOUNG talent with the same skills?

They're basically trying players out and seeing who can fit with each other. We all see the same thing, a bunch of scorers. But their thinking may be that they could at least hit on 2 or 3 guys who could mesh with DeMarcus Cousins and possibly Tyreke Evans at the 2.

Remember, Marcus Thornton's contract is frontloaded.
