Demarcus Cousins trade thread

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Get rid of Boogie and pick up Rondo?? Wtf are the Kings doing

The Los Angeles Lakers have had significant interest with Cousins, but their No. 2 overall pick isn't as appealing to the Kings as finding a deal that includes established, veteran players. Ranadive doesn't want to rebuild with a move into a new arena on the horizon, and Karl is chasing Don Nelson's all-time NBA career victories record. Karl's interest isn't in cultivating long-term assets, but rather compiling as many victories as possible in the near future.

Most teams trying to trade into the lottery believe the Kings are determined to package the sixth overall pick to bring back veteran talent.

Gay signed a three-year, $40 million extension that starts with the 2015-16 season, a contract that has become even more palatable to teams with the sharp rise coming in the NBA salary cap. Gay has played well in his two-plus seasons with the Kings and remains a target of interest with multiple teams, front-office executives said.

Sacramento is motivated to find a way to create more salary-cap space with possible deals, something that the Kings will need to pursue Dallas Mavericks free-agent point guard Rajon Rondo, league sources said. The Kings and Rondo have a mutual interest, with Rondo intrigued with the idea of a potential one-year deal in Sacramento that could help to rebuild his league-wide value, sources said.

Vivek would look terrible firing Karl who he just hired, but that is the logical thing to do.

he'd look a whole lot better to everyone if he fired karl than to acquiesce to this madness..especially after this WOJBOMB leaked

they'd open up that new stadium to crickets and fans would be saying that they might as well have moved the team after all

this is ludicrous...trading boogie but #2 or "cultivating long term prospects" arent in the ideal plans?

Yeah that Woj report doesn't make sense at all..#2 isn't attractive but trading boggie and 6th, then signing a 2015 rajon rondo is?
