spinoff from cousins trade (Posted on 1/5/13 at 1:52 pm)
NOH receive
Sg marcus thorton Sf john salmons Pg jimmer C cousins
Sac recieves
C robin lopez Sf aminu Sg eric gordon 2014 1st round pick
Put it in trade checker and it works out. I didnt want salmons in there but had to put him in for it to work
We still stay fairly young. Monty can get cousins to buy in which is a big? But if anyone can Monty can. Marcus can start and let rivers come off bench still. Jimmer has been a lot better this year.

Yeah. It just seems like he doesn't want to play here. If he can stay healthy which is a big if. Im happy with him. If not id rather get something in return. I read an article on cousins today and anthony davis and ryan anderson are the PERFECT compliment to his game.

Your trading an all star eric Gordon for another all star in cousins. Cousins averages 20 and 12. One of these guys actually stays healthy and cousins is 21 years old. He'd actually put up bigger numbers here playing with a stretch 4 who compliments his game perfectly. Then salmons, jimmer, and thorton>> lopez and aminu

21.3 pts 4.7 reb 3.4 assists
22.2 pts 4.4 reb 2.1 assists
Best season from both thorton and eric gordon which happened to be the 10/11 season. Is there really such a huge dropoff between the two and then to add cousins also? I don't get it. Im not a Marcus thorton fan boy like the people on here but i feel like our team would be better

With how little Gordon plays and money saved th Thornton Gordon scenario isn't as bad as a lot make it out to be.most people here biggest Thornton gripe is a lie Monty said that Thornton wouldn't play defense which simply isnt true if you watched games. But Monty can never be questioned. Monty was pissed mt5 didn't go to voluntary camps and wanted mt5 gone immediately. Some games mt5 went off in 4th (which sometimes was only playing time) Monty almost hated it because he knew he would have to answer mt5 questions and never ever gave mt5 credit unless teeth were being pulled
