If Cousins slips to 5, I am inclined to take him; however, if Petrie isn't crazy about him (and I could see that very well being the case), we might be in a position to deal him and pick up another asset.

The teams below us in the draft (Warriors and Pistons) might be very interested in him and might part with some assets to move up or take on a bad contract or two.

In the Dubs case, I could see them parting with someone like Brandon Wright or even Anthony Randolph if we threw another player in (and they really wanted Cousins--which might not be the case). Say Cousins and Donte Greene for Anthony Randolph and Aminu. With AR and Aminu, we would all of a sudden be pretty athletic.

With Detroit there really is no player on their roster that I am crazy about, but we could offload Noc or Garcia's contracts and move down a few spots and still get Aminu or Johnson. TIf Petrie didn't see much difference between the two, that might be making the best of a bad hand (thanks Stern).

For instance, if we are left with Aminu, Wes Johnson, Greg Monroe, et al., I might be inclined to move down and dump Noc.

What say you StR? Would you gamble a little and move down if the guy you really want isn't there (not really Petrie's style, I know, but this is end of the bar chatter)?
