He will not win one with us any time soon. Even adding him, I still think we are a little ways away, because Davis has to keep developing over the next 3 years or so, and we need depth.

cp3+cousins/d12/pekovic/brolo and we are instantly in the west conf finals.

LAC has the huge LA market, an already established player in Blake, etc. They can probably attract a big time coach and big time FAs.

im getting a sense that this big market talk is over stressed. starting next season, big market will be 2 times more costly for owners. from now on it will be great front offices and coaching. not buying players and favoritism.

cp3 loves the pic n roll and big men who can shoot short range shots. reliable outside shooter as well. thats what we like to do.

Big markets are where you get more endorsement deals which is exactly why the people cashing in on CP3 pushed him from NOLA to LA. The CBA can change the #basketballreasons advantage that the big markets have had, but it can't change the economic advantage.

I think that is very false in the short term.

Well we are unlikely to get any of those guys. Pekovic seems doable, but he's an RFA.

Unfortunately not the case. Endorsements. The smarter players will take less to go to big markets so they can get the endorsement dollars, which are probably worth more than their contract.
