Right...so LA shouldn't take a top 3 center who is as dominant as anyone with nothing around him, because he doesn't have "winning" intangibles. You know who they should go get, Tyler Hansbrough and Raymond Felton, because they have "won" before.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

At first, I was pissed about the fact that the Kings were going to play right into the whole "We don't rebuild, we reload" mantra that the Lakers and their fans keep spitting.

Then I imagined the amount of drama and sheer stupidity that would come out of a DMC-Kobe relationship, and I could not be more excited.

Highly likely...the team he has been most linked to is the Celtics.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Since with the Kings, Cousins has had 5 head coaches in 5 years...how can you expect any kind of continuity or winning culture to be developed in a toxic situation like that. Granted, he has had many bumps in the road throughout his short career, but it's not like the Kings haven't contributed to the situation there, either...horrible draft decisions, coaching merry-go-round, head-scratching signings/trades.

Depends on what you think the problem is.

For example, Ryen Russilo thinks Cousins is the problem in Sacramento, and that he's the reason the team has the losing team culture that it does.

My gut feeling is he doesn't get moved, but I want to see it happen just to see what happens with the Kings if it does.

Sacramento trading Cousins to an in-state rival would tick me off if I were a Kings fan. There is literally nothing LA could offer to make a potential deal feel ok.

#2, Randle, Clarkson ? As a laker fan I would hate it but I think that gets it done.

Let's not act like there is no question marks about Cousins. He's a dominant center that never lead his team anywhere.

Just keep Clarkson, Randle, the #27, #34 and draft Okafor.

It's kinda hard to lead your team when you've gone through multiple coaches and schemes as well as dealing with constant roster turnover and playing with marginal at best, awful at worst players. This entire time he's playing Sacramento the 2nd and 3rd best players he has played with have been Rudy Gay and Darren Collison.

Which dominant big man has had an environment as bad as the Kings have been? Non stop changing coaches, garbage ownership, awful teammates, and when you finally get a coach that is gelling with him they fire him after Cousins gets meningitis and they start struggling. Not everyone can go into a situation like Tim Duncan.
