Wow, no one mentioned in this thread Boogie Cousins to the Pels? At the very least, it makes NO way more interesting. Of course, who knew that you could get Cousins for your Netflix password, a BK Whopper, and Langston Galloway?
Anyhow, I like the idea: If you cant outscore the Warriors, maybe you can beat them to death inside. I know this doesnt make NO the team to beat in the West, but I like that they are trying something different.
Even though 3-point-shooting is the trend of this era, Memphis are still very good and they are an interior team.
So I think New Orleans can be a playoff team and maybe a top 4 team (not this season though).
Plus they might get some perimeter scorers like Korver.
3-point-shooters will probably like the idea of playing with twin towers.
Poor Clippers, they got a rude awakening the other night.
One of those teams that had a chance to win it all a few seasons ago, but that window of opportunity has long gone. The problem is that other teams have gotten even stronger and not a one trick pony.
The only way Paul will get a ring is by going to another team in a lesser role probably.

That window sure did close fast, didnt it? In 2014, they blew a golden opportunity to go up 3-2 on OKC in the West Semis, and, of course, no need to mention what they did with Houston a year later in the West Semis...
Pelicans 0-3 with Cousins...if the Nuggets beat the Twolves it's over for this year. They aren't making up 4 games with only 22 to go.
And now Cousins gets a 1 games suspension for picking up his 18th tech. Is this guy mature enough to anchor a good playoff team?
That remains to be seen. However, I am interested in finding out since he now has a change of scenery, and another fellow All-Star. Will he put in the work to make it work?
I admit I will be watching with interest for the next year or so...
