C Cousins - if we could package Randle and Clarkson somehow with a maybe a future 1st Round pick or something like that?
For the record 3-Peat,
I am all for packaging Randle & Clarkson for proven talent. Clarkson's upside I'm afraid is a spark plug off the bench (I hope I'm wrong) & Randle becoming a super star is questionable. He definitely has the junk - yard dawg tude and tries to force the issue on offense & rebounds. But I'm not sure if he has what it takes. (Again I hope that I'm wrong)
I actually like both players but I have my doubts about both too becoming Great. As much as I have criticized Russell, I have more faith in Russell becoming a Star than either Randle or Clarkson. If Russell had a Great Big he could play with like Cousins that would be interesting and fun to watch.
How they improve this offseason means everything. The offseason is when they can make major improvements in their game. Next year all of these guys should be at another level.
