DeMarcus Cousins? {merged}

I don't even think @NBA2K would let that trade happen even with the trade override option off LOL

this is classic!

How about Batman and Superman? The Justice League?

I'm still hoping "Super Smash Brothers" - as the antidote to the Splash Brothers - catches on.

Sac folks are calling this move a "change in culture". They're trading pretty much everyone,. and they waived Matt Barnes. It seems they're cleaning the slate and starting out fresh.

I understand the frustration of letting Boogie go but the thought of a rebuild has to be pretty exciting. I doubt they'll lure free agents there so all they have is the draft and trades. Good luck to the Kings.

[SilkySlim]

It's not a change in culture, unless their new "culture" is going to be winning 15-20 games for the next decade while fans disappear into the bowels of apathy, or just give up on the train wreck.

[hornetsrebirth]

This is the best thing we could have hoped for. The Pelicans made a move. Cousins brings toughness and elite offense and defense at the 5 position, freeing AD up to do whatever he wants. The league is in trouble now!

[SilkySlim]

The Kings have been rebuilding since 2006!!! Traded Reke for nothing. Traded current two time All Star Isaiah Thomas for nothing. Blew numerous picks on guys like Hawes, and chumps like Jason Thompson and Jimmer who are playing in China!! Don't let me forget Thomas Robinson with the 4th pick in the draft. Passed on Curry. Passed on Leonard. Passed on Klay. Passed on Lillard. I can go on and on. ONLY good thing we got in that decade was Boogie, a HOF level talent who rarely WANTED to stay in Sac, and we moved him for Hield??? All due respect to him but that's insane! Insane levels of insane!!

So why would Sac fans want another decade of futile rebuilding with a FO who has no clue how to draft or what they're doing?? Laughing stock!! Boogie is the most talented player Sac has drafted since they arrived in 1985!!! Could be another 30 years until we get a similar talent. Then what, we finally get another top player in 2033 and Vivek randomly one night decides to blow it up because it's not jazzy enough??

To be fair, this is probably the best situation for both teams. We get a top 10 talent, the Kings get a fresh start. Could they have gotten more? Perhaps. But now they can rebuild without Boogies shadow cast over them.

Does this trade remind anyone else of the Baron Davis trade, where we got peanuts for a top 5 talent? Only this time we are the Warriors and the Kings are the Hornets.

I was completely surprised last night. But happy as could be.

Seattle might be getting a team again,if the Kings dont sell tickets.
I wish

[kclaboy504]

Wow I can't believe this just happened. Cousins and AD on the same team!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!! Unreal right now. I'm in total disbelief.

[Chris]

Was listening to ESPN NOLA with Gus Kattengell and he brought up some interesting points. Between Davis and Cousins, who will be the Alpha? Will it be AD's team or Cousin's team? Can Cousins take a backseat after being the centerpiece in Sacramento? When it comes down to the final shot, who takes it?

[DroopyDawg]

Trade is "Official" now folks. NBA signed off on the deal.

[shanetrain93]

Will he be available Thursday?

[AD23nEG10]

Will he be available Thursday?

Should be, plenty of time for both teams to conduct physicals

YES, glad to be on the other side

[P_B_&_G]

As this sinks in I can't believe how awesome it is. This is the kind of things you see happening for the Lakers and Celtics. When was the last time a small market team pulled of a coup like this? I can't remember any. Its usually the big market teams getting these deals.

Bravo Demps, you may have just saved that job.

Divac: "We had better offers two days ago"

cousins have more made 3s than buddy does......i didnt know that...

[luckyman]

I read and in-depth article on Cousins in Sacramento. There is one section that talks about how the Kings owner talked to Cousins about playing 4 on 5 defense. So they could 'cherry pick' points at the other end.

That is the pure definition of dysfunction.

And MM I keep my money. Trading the 2017 1st here doesn't count. This was a fleecing of an organization that shouldn't be employed and Dell took advantage. Even if it meant parting with that 1st.

At least it looks that way now.

Maybe this was some sort of karma for the Lakers trading Vlade to the Hornets for Kobe?

I posted it here >>> http://www.pelicansreport.com/showth...idn-t-work-out

It's long but its also a great read on how dysfunctional the Kings organization is.

Does this mean we get Heather Graham roller skating around the SKC?
