What would you do?

TALENT wins in this league not chemistry.

I think you need to take a second and reflect on this....

Miami might have made 4 straight finals and won 2 in a row...but they lost twice to what many people would consider less talented teams.

There was that finals about a decade ago when the 4 future HOFer Lakers got beat by the possibly no future HOFer Pistons.

You can't win without high level of talent. It's not like the examples I just brought up were untalented teams. However, chemistry probably is the key ingredient overall. You can be the most talented team in the league and still lose in the finals to a team with better chemistry (ie a team that plays better as a team).

2014 San Antonio Spurs vs Miami Heat shows that this is nowhere near an absolute.

Cousins would destroy chemistry.

It wasn't because of Ross, it was because of JV... Look at last night for some vision as to what he is truly going to be.

Can he be as good as Cousins is right now? 24/12 guy? i doubt it. Cousins is not a finished product btw. He's not even in his prime yet.

[tDotted]

Why are you so worried about Ross? lol like really man? Ross is EASILY replaceable. Hell i think Ross mins should be given to JJ.

If you can get Cousins for JV and Ross you do that in a heartbeat. No way the Kings would do it though.

Still wouldn't do that trade bec of Ross?

I said it once before.. depth at the 3.

For the team to give up Ross, a 3 has to come back.

Otherwise, we have no depth at that position. And what if JJ goes down?

Things to think about. Otherwise I'd agree wholeheartedly and go on your side.

DEPTH OVER ELITENESS.

I can see why your avatar is laughing!

It's a power scream.

Fields+2nd round pick for Wilson Chandler

[big boi]

Ross+ Amir + Bebe+ Hansborough+ tor 2016 1st round pick = Ibaka+ Mitch McGarry

Chuck becomes Vet minimum, Lou is extended, 66 million dollars for 2015/16- sign Demarre Carrol with your MLE and your 1st round pick is a point guard

Don't know why Thunder would do that. And also that leaves only one 3 point threat in the starting lineup.

Okay... but that means giving up something else. What would you give up for a SF, and ho could we nab for that?

Hnads-bro and Fields plus a pick isn't gonna get you much.

I'm not as concerned about this season as some are. If the highly unrealistic Cousins trade happens, I'd be fine with riding out the rest of the season with DeRozan and JJ sharing minutes at SF. Can look to fill the hole in the offseason via trade, FA signing or draft.

You said "depth over eliteness". I'm of the opposite view. Elite talent acquisition should come before depth. Find your stud horses, then fill out the roster around them.

Can address SF depth with a separate trade.
