Following potential 2015 draftees

I agree 100%.
I wish he wasn't such a numb nut because we actually have the pieces to put together a nice package to get him.
Here's the funny thing -- George Karl wants to trade Cousins for established players, not some rookie like Okafor.
Screwed up.
Screwed up.
Maybe, but I tend to think Cousins is a dipsh** who is borderline toxic. I probably wouldn't trade for him at all. I'd rather have Okafor. Cousins is unlikely to make it through a playoff series without melting down.
I was wondering why there was a rumor involving Orlando with Vucevic going to the Kings and the #2 going to Orlando, but it's because Karl wants more veteran players back.

I guarantee Divac's phone is blowing up.
possible opening offers?
Timerwolves 1st pick + player not named Wiggins
Lakers 2nd pick + Randle
Knicks 4th Pick + 2018 first round pick + garbage
Celtics Handfull of picks + whoever you want
Could the Timberwolves be a contender to get Boogie?

I doubt it... their timetable is different. They should be trying for contention the season Cousins' contract will be expiring. I don't see it. If I were the Wolves, I'd be building around the two No. 1 picks. They will have 8 years of Towns + Wiggins... I don't think I'd sell that for 3 years in which the team probably won't be good enough to contend, after which he'd probably just leave.

sbnation has a giant free agent article on their site. Here's their scouting report for Kanter...
"Reverse Ben Wallace. A brilliant post scorer who couldn’t stop traffic with a red light, a cop car or a barricade. You remember Yi Jianlian’s epic workout against a La-Z-Boy? That was actually Enes Kanter disguised as a chair."

What if they could get Ty Lawson, too?(Garnet+future first) Remember the Twolves haven't made the playoffs in a long time. They gotta be getting antsy.
I agree that it is unlikely but the pups can't afford for Towns to not work out. They can't afford another decade of being in the lotto. I could see them shooting for the stars.

I really have no idea what's going to happen. Perrin and Lindsey are so good at not leaking anything. Some people say Utah loves some players, then another writer or radio person says they don't. I've heard Utah likes Hezonja, and Andy Larsen said on his last podcast that they don't like Hezonja (He does this pretty often, saying that his "sources" tell him something and then doesn't expand on it). There's been so much talk about Utah not moving up, that it makes me think they are going to move up. Or is that what they want me to think... Can't wait until Thursday
It's generally smart to comment on your sources statements yourself instead of quoting the source. Smart ppl could narrow it down or recognize certain phrases that are typical for a person's way of speaking.
If they're doing stuff like that already to comprehend which employee leaks intel, I bet direct quotes is info that's either permitted/ordered to be used or the GM himself.
Latvian hookers are more reliable though...just sayin

My comparison is Brandon Jennings with defensive upside. One handed streaky shooter who can't finish around the rim but has good court vision and ballhandling, yet is likely to turn it over because of a tendency to make too flashy plays.
Even if they are inflated a little bit. That's still huge. Really interested how he'll develop his first years. If he can put on weight to defend inside or if he's fast enough to defend the perimeter.
I have said sooooo many times that if you want a great version of Cousins you need either a strong/smart/charismatic coach or the same in a PG. We have one of those.
I personally know Boogie and I would be ecstatic to see Cousins on the Jazz.
Since I consider you to be the TMZ equivalent of jazzfanz, I'm disappointed you didnt get what I was alluding to.
Eye test bro, eye test!
