As of now I say stay but I would love to have DeMarcus Cousins, he just scored 55 Points the other night and if we had that presence in the middle we would be dangerous. His antics off the court/temper doesn't really bother me as long as he doesn't get into trouble with the law, the other stuff is manageable. He seems to be getting sick of playing in SacTown. I am not sure what the Kings would want if they did want to trade him though?? Would you guys give up Randle and Russell for Cousins? That would still leave us Clarkson, Lou, Ingram, Nance, and Cousins for a main core. Just a question?

Randle and Russell for Cousins would likely make me rescind my Laker fanhood.

He's NOT that special.

Sometimes the best move is the one you DON'T make. There are a few 20/10 or at least 17/8 centers out there who haven't hit their prime yet. We don't need a Shaq, we just need a real big man who can defend, rebound and hold his own vs. the Boogies of the league.

Would you do Clarkson and Randle for Cousins?

Nope. Clarkson yes, Randle no. I want Randle in P&G his entire career. Nance can go, Lou can go, Moz and Deng can go. Nick can go. But not Randle, not Russell, not -- well. maybe Ingram.

Of course I defer to Mitch and Luke . . not sure there's a closer, more experienced GM/Coach combo in the NBA right now. Maybe ever?
