Should the Kings trade DeMarcus Cousins?

[Kang Deezy]

Apparently the Celtics have exclusive trading rights for Boogie and the Kings will be forced to take a low ball offer

Still haven't heard this blockbuster offer they can't refuse that makes the celtics absolutely have to give up the Brooklyn pick to get him

Since when have the Bulls front office ever had the balls to make a big trade anyways?

 

[SchoolboyC]

I'm not trading Smart or Hunter

I'm trading any of lee, zeller, Bradley, young

You aren't getting anyone with half of Cousins talent for any of those players

The Nets picks are the only real trade chips that Ainge has got

Vivek didn't and still doesn't know what he got himself too. I honestly feel bad for him.

every pick except the 2016 Brooklyn pick would be on the table

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

They should trade him, but the Kings would still fukk up a top pick. They've been in the lottery for several straight years and only have boogie to show for it. Just move this team to Seattle already and hand it over to a competent owner. Easily one of the worst franchises in any sport

The Mavs pick will be late lottery in a weak draft at best, Wolves pick probably won't even get conveyed, could be 5-6 years before the Memphis pick can actually be used.

And I think they have value but admittedly the other Nets picks have more question marks than the 2016 one.

If you want to trade for an established player of Cousins caliber at least this season, then Ainge would have to come off that 2016 pick. And if he doesn't want to do that then keep the pick and hopefully it turns into Ben Simmons or Skal Labisserie

The "weak draft" argument is so dated. This draft will end up being at least 10 deep like every other draft aside from one or two. People will emerge

I'm more optimistic about the wolves pick being conveyed than I was a month ago, now there is a legitimate chance it does happen

I guess time will tell

All Facts.

And Ainge admitted they'd rather have a star player than a bunch of decent players and draft picks. Cousins is proven, they have a core, and a good coach. It's a no brainer.

It would be interesting to see if they'd be willing to take Gay if Sac insisted on it.

Trading Cousins only makes sense if they can find someone to take Gay in the same deal or another one.

I did not say hunter and smart for cousins

All I said is we wouldn't include the Brooklyn 2016 pick

I don't feel bad for him in the least bit, he thought he could come into the NBA and just rise to the top because of his business acumen. He went over the heads of his front office and picked a player they didn't want and he had zero understanding of the game

 

[Regular_P]

None of them have the assets to make the trade, but I'd love to see Cousins in Atlanta, Indy or Portland.

I really wouldn't be shocked to see the Lakers offer a haul for Cousins. Hopefully Clarkson wouldn't be involved, but it'll be either him or Russell with Randle and maybe the rest of their 2015 draft (Nance and Brown ) plus other future picks.
