When you see it here, it's 100% real.

Isn't Woj a Pels insider or is that Marc Stein? Can't remember.

The Kings are strongly considering New Orleans' trade offer of two first-round picks and Buddy Hield for DeMarcus Cousins, ESPN sources say

Sounds good to me. Just to get opinion on the rest of the board, would you rather have Boogie or PG-13 and why?

I don't understand how this works without us throwing in another player to match salaries.

A third team getting involved perhaps?

I think it was more about what they were actually getting for him. Clearly Evans would be tossed in to make salaries work. Might need more filler contracts too. Not sure without looking at the numbers.

Paul George is probably the better fit with AD going forward, but he is also less attainable than Cousins.

IMO, Boogie. Paul George is great, but I think if AD wants to play primarily PF, then a Center is of bigger need than a SF currently. Especially if Hill keeps playing like he's playing lately. Our SF's > Our C's right now. Boogie fixes that.

I rather have boogie...we would have an advantage no other team could match. We would be memphis on steroids. Plus jrue is the icing on the cake. The challenge would be gentry making it work.

I gotcha. They're just giving the main trade without filler. My bad. Didn't think about that.:P

[N.O.Bronco]

I love Buddy, but this is a trade I would take the risk on.

Keeping Buddy would turn this team into an even more interesting threat long-term with a core of Jrue, Buddy, Davis and Cousins, due to the way the cap is playing out and players probably not moving as much, but I would be cautiously optimistic about it.

Yea exactly, Evans + Heild for Cousins works in trade checker. Sixers getting involved as a 3rd team and sending Okafor to the Kings makes sense.

But DeMarcus Cousins' agent Jarinn Akana tells ESPN that Cousins is unlikely to sign a summer extension with any team that trades for him

— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) February 20, 2017

[Eman5805]

Cheik Diallo ain't part of this trade too is he?

Also, what if we somehow manage to keep our '17 pic...

Oh to hell with that. I'm letting excitement overrule common sense.

Now this would be mortgaging the future. Three consecutive first round picks. Plus another max contract, in addition to still having Asik and Ajinca on the roster. Plus more leeway for Demps and Gentry. I don't like it. Could AD and Cousins even coexist?

AD and Cousins coexisting is kind of academic at this point.

The real question is how the hell do you field a competitive around them if it seems like talented players on rookie deals aren't a thing.

League sources tell https://t.co/PCJrdO6OAj that the Nets have lowered their price tag on Brook Lopez. Motivated to move him.

— Brian Geltzeiler (@hoopscritic) February 19, 2017

Brook's gonna move too I bet.
