DeMarcus Cousins? {merged}

[Topdawg26]

I hope he keeps his head on straight out there now!

[PelicanNation]

Man I'm iffy about this deal. I feel like we gave up too much especially considering the position the Kings are in. They have to finish bottom 10 to keep their 2017 pick, they HAVE to make a deal at the deadline. I felt we should've been able to keep Buddy. Again, happy to get Boogie but not overall happy with the deal.

lol man there is no way, you should not be happy we have the best frontcourt in the league now. Buddy has potential but how high is his ceiling? We have two superstars .

[Eman5805]

I guess I will now have to learn to like the player I most despised in the NBA.

That volatile component is the one thing that worries me.

If his sanity is included, it's amazing to pair a player with that kinda talent with AD.


I'm a wash of confused and conflicted emotions.

[FormerKingsFan]

We have plenty room bro lol

Lol, yeah I think you're going to see a flood. This was the last straw for many Kings fans.

[JunkHead]

Ok now, my question. What do we do with Asik and Ajinca now?

[DroopyDawg]

So we got Boogie for at least the rest of this season and all of next year before he enters free agency. Its on Demps (or whoever replaces him) get Jrue this summer and Boogie next to sign.

[neitzelbaby12]

my body has forgotten how to function

[GeauxSaints53]

Is this real life?

[pelicanchamp]

Demps just made the most brilliant move of his career. You know AD and Jrue and fired up!!!
I bet y'all this team is going to be so much better. Boogie is a superstar. We got our "big 3" I think this is the best thing that could happen. You know AD couldn't ask for a better Center. We went from Okafor to Cousins. WOW

Ramona Shelburne just said on ESPN that the Okafor trade that fell apart was for Tyreke & a 2. No wonder Philly said no. Oh well...


WE GOT BOOGIE!!!!!!!

This is what I mean when I say one sided trades you'd reject get accepted and done all the time.

If Guru offered this trade up in a thread, he'd get mocked relentlessly.

[kinglio21093]

I'm like a kid in a candy store.

[JunkHead]

Look for Tim Frazier to get majority of minutes at PG after this trade. NOLA also has interest in DLeaguer Quinn Cook.

This is getting crazier and crazier

[HoustonPelicans]

You're about the only one who feels this way, dude. Buddy was good, but he wasn't a clear all-star like Cousins is. And we got to keep your fav player Diallo.

Lol I love Diallo, but it would've made more since to keep Buddy.

[nolaslim213]

I think this will really elevate Jrue's game. He'll have more space on drives, more options in PnR, and opposing defenses can't key in on him as much as they used to because they have to account for AD AND Boogie.

If Boogie can give a little more effort defensively, then we will be a really hard team to beat. More than that, I think Cousins will actually be happy here. His best friend is on the team, and he will have an easier time operating because he is playing next to Davis. He won't have to do it all anymore, which will elevate his game.

Yea I can definitely understand the volatile concerns. But I think it could be a great fit, because AD and Jrue are so calm and level-headed type guys and players, so they can help balance out some of Cousins' wildness. And visa versa, he can help inspire some impassioned fire in Davis and Holiday.

[nolaslim213]

OMG this is SOOOOOOOO much better than Okafor

[GuardianAngel25]

Boogie!! No effing way!! Watch Westbrook is the next to join and make a big 3!!

This is exactly what i was thinking.

[Alg_Hornet]

Well... This trade will either save or kill the franchise. Overall I like it

[bahmamamba]

So Westbrook,jrue,hill,ad and cousins? Lmao

[shanesy]

Wonder if he will play against Rockets? Guess the physicals occur and league approval process determines that.

[Topdawg26]

LOL! That's so true!

[Eman5805]

This is so real and true.

Can't say we didn't go down swinging.

[DroopyDawg]

We have a ton of money tied up in the center position I hope we can do SOMETHING with Ajinca and/or Asik.
