3. DeMarcus Cousins, Kings

In a league that values franchise centers so much, it's still hard to accept how Cousins fell to the fifth pick. We all know about his faults, but his hands, reach and feel will make him a dominant rebounder immediately, and his touch as a finisher is impressive. On top of that, his passing -- both out of the low block and in starting the fast break -- is what has me most excited about him.

[h1]Paul bends to King James’ rule[/h1]
Spoiler [+]
Chris Paul had come into the NBA with so much of Kevin Durant’s pureness of purpose: humble, grateful, still the kid who worked summers pumping gas and changing tires at his grandfather’s gas station in North Carolina. He constructed himself a reputation of values and character, and separated himself in all the best ways.
He should stay on course to be his generation’s Tim Duncan, but that no longer appeals to Paul. He’s veered the wrong way, into the wrong clutches. Bad enough that LeBron James damaged his own standing in the sport this summer, he wants to take down Chris Paul with him too.
James, his business manager Maverick Carter and powerbroker William Wesley have far too much influence over Paul’s career, and they’re running it right out of the sunshine and into darkness. They’re using Paul as a commodity to elevate their clout, to show how they can take a player with no contractual leverage and muscle him out of New Orleans.
What they don’t care about – and maybe don’t understand – is that Paul built such a beautiful, unique relationship with the city of New Orleans. He’s been so truly invested there, a beacon and ambassador in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Yet, the James gang see these bonds as disposable and they’re convincing Paul of it, too.
In a Twitter pronouncement on Thursday, King James declared, “Best of luck to my brother [Chris Paul] … Do what’s best for You and your family.

you got world wide wes wes running around promising lebron to the bulls and CP to the tralblazers. You have Riley using wade as a mouth piece years in advance while nobody can do anything because they don't have a star free agent to do the same. Got his boy wade spying on other teams with no intention of going there. you have chris paul openly crying that he wants to be traded to the knicks....
but the people who get in trouble are mark cuban for mentioning lebron's name and Kahn for talking about weed.
what a garbage commissioner for a garbage league

I don't think Woj has anything out for Lebron. We hear it all day, everyday, how the media slurps Lebron, but, Woj has never done that. And when you read his articles, it really is tough to counter-argue what he has to say. He's been on point for the most part.
Damn, that article is nice, but with it being Woj, has to be taken with a grain of salt.
I can't wait to see the reaction next summer if the Heat aren't the ones havin a parade. The media and haters will friggin destroy that guy. But if they win, all will be forgotten and the media will all go back to slurping him Xta style.

i agree with you that the timberwolves should have fined him. But stern has more pressing issues. that should be an organizational decision.
at least lebron fulfilled his contract. Nobody wants to see millionaires cry and moan because they aren't champsionhip contenders like CP

Kahn should focus more on improving his team than airing out his player's past on another team.
We've had an excellent off-season, if we can just bring Shannon back into the fold we're set for next season.

I can dig it.
So does that mean goodbye Sasha or just REALLY less minutes for him now. Can Phil please play Josh Powell more?

Powell went to the Hawks (or is in process of doing so)
It means Phil will go back and forth between Brown and Sasha in a given matchup. Sasha being the better defender and late game free throw/ 3 pt shooter, Shannon more of the energy crowd type guy.
Brown needs to learn the damn triangle though, he is terrible at it these past two years, if he learns it, and works on it, he could be nice, and Sasha would lose minutes greatly.
Either way, 10-11-12 type guys we're talkin here, they take the Mbenga/Powell/Morrison roles.
