[Editor’s note: The following is an e-mail Ben sent in response to my post on Tuesday morning that a DeMarcus Cousins trade is pretty much impossible this summer and hard to envision down the road without Beal taking a major leap next season. To understand Ben’s points you have to read through the original argument first.
While I don’t quite agree with Ben’s overall assessment, he certainly brings up some great points that add to the discussion.
Also, for the sake of adhering to our community guidelines, I took out the first line of his e-mail.
