In a stunning turn of events the Sacramento Kings traded away Star Center Demarcus Cousin right before the trade deadline. The team announced Monday afternoon that the Pelicans had acquired Demarcus Cousins and swingman Omri Casspi while sending Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, a 2017 first-round pick and a 2017 second-rounder to the Kings.
Motives behind this trade are unclear, one source says that Vivek Ranadive believes that Buddy Heild has, "Steph Curry Potential", while others believe that they are trying to change the culture around Sacramento. Regardless after the trade Vlade Divac has been relieved of his duties, with the reasoning that the Kings could have gotten a lot more for the superstar center.
They have hired new GM Robert Star, former head scout for them and Sacramento local. He's being tasked with a hard rebuild with only a couple of key pieces to build around in Heild, Cauley-Stein and a couple if aging vets.
The Kings will be looking to build talent through the draft, and pick up solid vets through trades.
