Cousins played with Wall in college....he was still a giant baby and bitched and moaned. If you listen to people in the know, Cal absolutely hated Cousins and coaching him.
Very possible and I could easily see that. Like I've said...I watched a lot of Cousins the last few years and it would be real difficult for me to be a fan of him if he were on my team. But, as many people say with players like this....if he ever gets it then watch out. Other than Hakeem I've never seen a big with his skills.

I like the Jazz. Think Quin is and will be a fantastic coach. I keep waiting for them to get good, but nothing has really happened. I suppose this last season was an improvement in wins at least I think it were.

Knicks keep pursuing deals to move out of No. 4 spot and back in lottery, league sources tell Yahoo.
I think the Knicks should absolutely trade down.
They need players...as in multiple. Teams are dying to trade up in this draft so the Knicks could capitalize and pick up two really good pieces long term here if they play it right.

All 3 are ball-dominant players.
I think they could have, but one of Russ or Harden wouldnt have reached their potential if they all stayed.
Jazz are going to be knocking on the door for a playoff spot. Their defense is that good and if Exum makes a leap then it could get interesting.

They need to hit on this pick tonight. If Stanley Johnson fell to them that would be great.

Hearing grumblings the Knicks would like Kaminsky if they were to trade down.
I think he is being overlooked a bit right now because of his age. A big with his skillset is very valueable. He can stretch the floor and when the other team goes small he can take advantage inside.
I think that would be a nice get for the Knicks in the 8-12 range.

I think the Jazz have a few players that we are grooming for the Hawks in the coming years. Maybe Trevor Booker lands in Atlanta and becomes the next Carroll.
From Royce Youngs piece today:
The simple explanation is that Lamb just wasn't as good as the Thunder anticipated. It's important to note he wasn't exactly Sam Presti's first choice when he began shopping around for potential Harden suitors. Presti made calls to the Warriors for Klay Thompson, to the Wizards for Bradley Beal, to the Raptors for Jonas Valanciunas, but was rebuffed everywhere. The Thunder tried to sell the deal they got as the one they wanted, but in reality, it was their third or fourth choice, primarily because the organization was never entirely sold on Lamb.

The Jazz version of DOB, Jody Gennessy, reported today that the Jazz are considering throwing the max at Millsap and trading Favors. I'm not sure if I would like either move to be honest. But it might be a sign the Jazz don't think they can maximize their talent by having virtually no spacing with Gobert and Favors.

Hear you want Millsap back pretty badly. Willing to deal Favors and I would be all over that.
To me its almost a waste of Goberts defensive ability to put him by another defensive minded player. Gobert should be surrounded by 4 wing players that pressure at the three point line and funnel everything to him.
The NBA is all about pace and space and having those two guys kills that.

There are about four or five different players that they could draft at 12 that I would be interested in. Myles Turner and Stanley would probably be at the top of that list though.
Who is your best wing defender right now? Exum? Burcs?

Favors did go to Georgia Tech, so I'm sure he would like that.
Millsap would probably like to play with his kid brother here in Utah. I don't think it's all that farfetched.

Baby Millsap is really good. Alec Burks struggled with off ball defense, but was okay on the ball.
I could see the Jazz finding an upgrade there though.
