2017 Trade Deadline and Summer Thread...News/Rumors etc

[nbafan88]

Will the kings win another game this season?

 

[P-Unit]

and Stein reporting Cousins unlikely to sign an extension with any team that trades for him. I guess we'll see.

 

[reNew Orleans]

casspi part of the deal.

ive been wanting tyreke out of here for years!

 

[P-Unit]

Kings really didn't want Cousins with this trade. Pels won it going away.

Two most versatile big men in the new NBA. Should be interesting...

 

[nbafan88]

How long is cousins contract?

 

[braves]

Is this the worst trade ever omg, kings should get relegated to d league

The perfect kryptonite to use against the Dubs if managed correctly.

 

[braves]

Almost as bad as that celt/nets trade couple years back

The Nuggets got more first-round picks for Timofey Mozgov than the Kings got for DeMarcus Cousins.

 

[B.A.R.]

I was looking forward to Dubs-Nugs first round but this will be interesting consolation matchup perhaps.

 

[nbafan88]

Pretty close. I think they're just fed up and are hitting the reset button.

 

[emkee]

Let's not forget the Kings have one of the worst/dumbest owners in the league. Guy is clueless about basketball.

 

[B.A.R.]

Homecoming for Tyreke. Great storyline there.

 

[P-Unit]

You simply don't trade a franchise player in his prime. idiots.

 

[nbafan88]

Hes also the best big man in the world. Its an asinine move. Vlade and Ranadive should be ashamed of themselves

 

[H.R. Pufnstuf]

@WojVerticalNBA:
Nevertheless, Divac's public and private proclamations that he wouldn't trade Cousins will impact his future credibility w/ agents, players.


LOL Boogie's agent was telling Marc Stein 40 minutes ago that he was assured his client would not be traded​

 

[nbafan88]

This is what happens when an Indian guy owns an NBA team. I'm allowed to make this joke.

 

[braves]

Lakers refused to give up ingraham for boogie

 

[Inspekdah]

Ok. I thought Cousins would have gotten more in return. Like maybe Brown and the top pick from Boston, etc.

Clearly that's not the case. No one wants to deal with this kid.

But pair him along a true, model citizen superstar, and you have something. None of the other interested teams had a model player like that who is arguably better than Cousins.

 

[Inspekdah]

Lakers refused to give up ingraham for boogie

Would have been a similar team to the group he's had in Sac town. Cousins can't be your best player. He's a top 5 talent. But he's out of control on the court.

 

[nbafan88]

Still doesnt have a coach that can control him. You think Cousins is going to listen to AD? I don't.

Agree, surprised lakers showed restraint

 

[dudleysdad]

Cousins is a dog
aint winning with him

he a loser, fact

 

[braves]

Pels hire calipari this summer

 

[Inspekdah]

It's leading by example.

 

[nbafan88]

Remember how big of a joke Dwight was for years? Put him with a real coach and see what happened?

 

[dudleysdad]

Pels hire calipari this summer

Still lose

 

[dudleysdad]

Lol is dwight still not a joke? Cousins is a thug as cancer to a team

 

[nbafan88]

It's leading by example.

Will be an interesting dynamic for sure. AD definitely is the MAN in that lockerroom. Don't think boogie stays there long. He needs to go to Boston.

 

[nbafan88]

Dwight is no longer cancerous. That shit isn't tolerated by bud.

 

[dudleysdad]

To kill the Boston progress I assume

 

[dudleysdad]

Fine he stinks is all

 

[nbafan88]

Not at all. He has checks and balances in Boston.

 

[nbafan88]

Fine he stinks is all

I agree his offense is horrendous for where it should be. Boogie has improved something in his game every offseason unlike Dwight. He puts in the work to get better. He just has never had someone to keep him in line. Luckily in Sacramento there wasnt THAT much that could go wrong and that's why he liked it there.

 

[cogenman]

I bet Cousins will be fine (his attitude) if they can win. He's one of those guys. They're right there for the 8th seed.

 

[cogenman]

And WTF Sac. You got a brand new stadium and you trade your only good player. I bet they get less than 10k crowd a game going forward. Who wants to see that team play?

 

[Inspekdah]

Nightmare matchup for Warriors if it's a 1-8.

 

[B.A.R.]

The most exciting thing about the Kings left is their Twitter feed.

 

[Inspekdah]

Pelicans have been playing for years now with guys who can't make open layups in Ajenca and Asik

 

[cogenman]

The starting 5 for the Kings in their next game will probably be...

PG- Collison
SG- McLemore
SF- Aflalo
PF- Cauley Stein
C- Koufos

I know Rudy Yag is hurt, but that's a weak ass lineup.

 

[Inspekdah]

Heild should be the starting 2 soon. Might as well throw him into the fire.

[Inspekdah]

Some fishy stuff has always been going on in NOLA.

They get the all-star game every other year. Were bailed out by the league like a Detroit motor company and now get a top 10 player for a ham sandwich

 

[nbafan88]

This is everything.

[Inspekdah]

Casspi involved in the deal. Not bad considering the Pels don't have a true SF on the roster

 

[cogenman]

I want to see other teams make some moves.

 

[dudleysdad]

Kings also could have Isaiah, whiteside n cousins in the starting 5
