we need to sell high on MKG while we still can

[DY_nasty]

the basketball asset he is

youngest player in the league

trade him before he loses value

makes sense

[isguros]

I would suspect something like this from gm in training... No, this is even more hilarious

I will look back on this thread with regret when MKG is sittin at Hendo level value late into his rookie contract and doesn't fit on our team anymore

we were probably too late anyway, I think people don't view MKG highly that much anymore either so Cousins is not a very likely trade. I will say that it is quite depressing that we thought it would have been a bad trade for us to add value onto #2 to get Harden. what a no brainer it is in hindsight

Bismack was the youngest player in the league last year, I don't think you'd say his trade value has increased over that time would you?

you very well may be right. but you could just as easily be absolutely wrong. bottom line for me is that it is entirely too early to tell how good he will be, let alone talk about trading him based on those predictions.

i'm pretty sure this is not what the term "selling high" means.

I am sure if there was some sort of guarantee that we could sign him to a contract we would have taken that deal, no question. But they weren't about to trade away the #2 pick to rent Harden for a year and the have him sign elsewhere (which he would)

He's the best asset on the team and over the long-run he will develop into the best player from the current roster. The only way this theory makes sense is if you feel that two eventualities are written in stone: 1) Charlotte drafts a 2guard in this year's draft and 2)they draft Wiggins next year. OK. Assuming we draft Wiggins is kind of like assuming that we were going to get Anthony Davis. We all saw how accurate that assumption turned out to be. Also, Charlotte could easily (and statistically is more probable) to wind up picking at 3 or 4 in this year's draft which would probably mean Bennett or Noel.
MKG is one of only a few reasons to be excited for this team.

So Dunlap can't manage Ben Gordon's personality but you think Cousins is a good fit for us! LMAO!

MKG was a lot better before Dunlap started coaching him. The difference now is he isn't playing aggressive because every time he gets a few fouls Dunlap jerks him out of the game. Everyone says Dunlap is doing a good job of playing the young guys but last three games MKG has had 14,15 and 20 minutes. So he is struggling a bit, let him play through it.

If you sit him out by the three point line and use him to spread the floor he is not going to look good. Everyone knew his shot was not there yet. If you iso him in the mid post and set up a play where he can go one on one or the other team is forced to double he is going to look like a beast.

How about we get a decent coach in here before we trade one of our best players based on somebody that hasn't even played a minute of NCAA basketball.
