i enjoy talking to you, but i cannot continue on here.

there are real, tangible questions to ask about Cousins/Davis right now. i'm just not interested in a hypothetical back and forth about Paul/Cousins/Davis.

That's fine bud

We got the Dubs vs the Pops today, a game 7 tomorrow, and the lottery Tuesday. Lots of hoops.

I just don't see the Cousins/Davis talk being very productive until the roster shakes out. Plenty of people doing a very good job of "what could be" via articles. Those 2 + Gentry's traditional coaching desires mix like oil and water. I'm hardly alone in that opinion questioning his fit. I'm hoping Gentry is reading a lot more 10 seconds or more and less 7 seconds or less this summer.

Traditional PGs are a dying breed in this league and imo watching the success of DJ and Blake in Flop City shows a blue print of how to bare bones this thing.

1 coulda been had for a Derrick Rose esque package at the deadline.

1 is a free agent.

The next 2 closest things to those 2 are two of the top 4 players in the MVP race (Harden and James). I'm talking ball handlers able to get to spots on floor, run PNR and make people better. So 4 guys I count and 2 are untouchable and 1 balled out post ASB to "do we have assets"?

That is why this subject intrigues me. We are talking Davis/Cousins and what to do with them in my mind. Unfortunately for us, our best shot at maximizing with Gentry around is landing a miracle.

ETA: when the dust settles on FA, I'm sure we'll discuss plenty how to deploy. I will say for me, Solomon Hill's sole job is to set off ball screens for Davis and Cousins. No more standing around waiting to chuck threes. Use that 240 lb frame to make life easier.
