The Hawks Apparently Made a Play for Cousins

[coachx]

I betcha we offered B.S. for Cousins.

We didn't offer Smith.

I think a Cousins Horford combo would work well for both men. Cousins shot would improve because he would own the inside. Horf would be the High Post PF he wants to be.

If I'm the Kings and Ferry pitches me a Josh Smith for Cousins / cap fillers trade.........my counter is that I want Al Horford b/c he can step in for Cousins at the center position and is under contract for 4 more years. The unknown of Josh Smith possible walking out on you would be too big a risk for me unless I'm a franchise like Boston or LA.

I really like Cousins..........but not sure if both Cousins and Smith can be coached together.

We do have 2 late 1st round picks to throw in to sweeten the pot.

This works and doesn't require giving up Horford or Smith, makes more sense and would probably require both our firsts.

Pachulia/Korver/Scott - 2 firsts

Lou Williams and Stevenson could be swapped for Korver and Scott as well.

Cousins/Salmons

The problem with giving up Horford or Smith is they make more than Cousins+Salmons and Sacramento is in need of bodies/salary to stay with the salary requirements.
