Cousins to the Pelicans for Ryno + Tyreke + all the draft picks. Make this happen so we can see AD and Boogie destroy everyone.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

While they're at, get my man Ben out of there too. Preferably to Boston but I wouldn't mind Charlotte(where he should've been taken over Zeller) either.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Why would they just trade him for a pick to the Lakers? It's not that they would get a better player out of it then Boogie already is.

I would prefer something with Boston or a 3 way deal with Lakers and Magic with Vuc in it. For Boston maybe Smart, Sullinger + their 1st rounder this year, maybe a 2nd next year. Hard to value a star player who couldn't live up to his potential because the franchise is the worst in the league. I mean he is 5 years in the league now and they still haven't figured out a guard who fits his game.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

From Woj...

The DeMarcus Cousins trade buzz has picked up in recent weeks. Despite the Kings front office’s insistence that it’s not on the table, the Lakers have been making a push for the All-Star big man. It all seemed like noise, until a new report Monday night that claims Kings coach George Karl is pushing the front office to move Cousins.

From Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski:

Despite Sacramento Kings management’s public insistence that DeMarcus Cousins is unavailable in deals, coach George Karl’s intense desire to trade the All-Star center has made it increasingly unlikely this coach-star partnership can peacefully co-exist next season, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Karl has been recruiting Kings vice president of basketball operations Vlade Divac and multiple players on the Kings’ roster to unite with him in making the case to owner Vivek Ranadive that Cousins needs to be traded, league sources said.

That’s…a big deal. If Karl’s desire to trade Cousins is really that strong, it’s tough to imagine they hang onto him and deal with the drama that will come with it, especially after these reports. This is going to be a fun summer.

I feel like the #2 pick alone is better than the Celtics package. At least there's a decent chance the #2 pick turns into a star. I think you need more than just the #2 pick though, and I'm not sure what the Lakers or Magic can really add that would make it close to even. If you got Vucevic and the #2 pick, that would be great, but then I'm guessing Orlando probably wouldn't like whatever they're getting back in the deal, and I don't think there's any chance they move Oladipo.

I guess maybe something like:

LA Gets:
Cousins

Orlando Gets:
#6 pick

Sacramento Gets:
#2 pick
Elfrid Payton
Julius Randle

or something? I don't know. I'm not sure these teams are really a match, but Sacramento needs to get a high draft pick + something else back if they're going to trade him IMO.

I know they aren't the win-now players George Karl apparently wants, but the Kings were very high on Payton last year and Randle is still a solid prospect. And at the same time, Orlando gets a great pick for Payton and can replace him with Mudiay while also adding Porzingis or Hezonja into the mix. And the Lakers get a franchise player to build around for after Kobe retires, while also helping to make LA competitive in the mean time.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Not gonna lie but the idea of building around Cousins has me pretty anxious.

Can we just forget all that and pretend nothing happened ?

[ehh]

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

These proposed/rumored trades for Cousins are painful, I can't imagine ORL or SAC going through with them. I swear if that franchise manages to land another star center...

According to the Big Lead, JR Smith and Ty Lawson also made similar comments on Twitter about Karl in the past as well.

Karl doesn't like stars or something ?
