Just because something hasn't happened (yet) doesn't mean the roster space wasn't cleared in anticipation for a move. I would imagine a very small percentage of trade proposals between GM's actual materialize (perhaps 1-2% or less). We already know the C's are a team that inquired about Cousins, so there's no doubt they are looking to make a move; but it still takes at least two to make a deal.

The roster space was cleared because there was a 5pm deadline today. There's still plenty of time to utilize the open roster spots in a trade, but the timing of the cuts has nothing to do with trade discussions in my mind. |

that will be a major mistake by DA if he trades our three best bets for the future for DMC
i do it!! This team isnt going nowhere as it is now w/o a true center
How do you figure? Sicne Bradley returned we are 2-1 and the last two wins (both against playoff teams during a back-to-back) were by an average of 13 points and saw us hold opposnents to an average of < 80 points. We may have finally found our defense, and trading Sully and Bradley out for Cousins will break that. I love the idea of getting Cousins, but he's a risk. If you can get him in return for a large number of mediocre players (like Lee, Bass, Barbosa, Green) then hell yes its worth the risk, but if you need to lose two exceptional young players then I wouldn't do it. I'd rather add a solid big and then add all-start talent via free agency when Pierce, Terry and KG retire. |

Do any of you think this Rondo suspension pushes Danny over the edge?
Sac fans are saying the trade for DMC has to start with Rondo...How about this? $$ matches almost exactly.
Rondo
Sullinger
for
Cousins
Evans
Aaron Brooks
Gives us a top PF/C in Cousins and a couple good backcourt players. Evans is a very good NBA player IF HE CAN STAY HEALTHY and Brooks has proven he can run a team at PG. THis would really boost our offensive firepower and would likely make both teams better now and in the future.
Thoughts?

and Gortat is a star player?? he is a role player as well...people on this site have vastly over-rated his talents
15 points @ 55% FG, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks (Gortat's numbers last season) are hardly role player numbers. They are borderline All-Star numbers. |

11 points and 8 boards this year for Gortat...
Personally I would not trade:
KG, Pierce, Sully, Rondo, Bradley, Melo(yet).
Possibly Green, Lee or Bass in the right deal.

How are his numbers this year? If he was a borderline all star why were Phoenix still decidedly average? |

Interesting trade. Seems relatively fair. Cs would be very crowded at guard, with Evans, Brooks, Bradley, Lee and Terry. But I guess that would be of secondary concern. |

Horrible trade. Best player in the trade by a considerable margin for two role players. |

That they were cut a day early tells me that there wasn't an imminent trade because they would have been kept around a bit longer in case there was use for them in a deal. |

You forgot Barbosa too. If this happened, I'd like to see a three-guard rotation of Brooks, Evans, and Bradley, with Lee getting sparing minutes. Trade Terry. |

Yeah, because Gortat (16 points and 9 rebounds last season) is just a role player. Right now with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter he has 12 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks against us. You wouldn't want him and Dragic though - I believe part of his complain earlier in the season was that Dragic wasn't getting him the touches he wanted. |
