trade you for Roy Hibbert :cheers:

[Jameerthefear]

straight up for vooch? (not saying i would do it just gauging value)

[dhsilv]

Would love to see him on a team with a really mature seasoned team. Spurs are out. Maybe miami? Could that work? There don't seem to be a lot of mature teams. I'd love him on the clippers with paul...would the kings take jordan?

[Marchesk]

Thunder could use a stretch five.

He's the guy I want if the price is right, its clear he needs a change of environment.

SAC better get Philly involved in some way if he's moved. They need to get that future first back from them (in like 2019). If they trade him before the deadline, I don't see how they finish outside the top 10 (in which case they owe this year's first to the Bulls).

[thefatmiral]

Really disappointed this team isn't working out. Wanted rondo to succeed. Not sure who the kings could get to make them better.

**** this league

the Celtics have all these assets but the only star available is Demarcus Cousins

:facepalm

We got to take the risk though right???
:confusedshrug:

Kings ****ed up by firing the only coach that got through to him so maybe the Nuggs would be interested for the right price.

LAC for DeAndre straight up????
Mia for Whiteside????

[Derka]

Not interested in seeing this bozo in a Celtics uniform.

All the skill in the world and he's basically a dog and a coach killer and is the kind of player who is the worst fit for what Ainge and Stevens are trying to build. Yes, we desperately need The Guy on this team but nothing DMC has done in any game I've seen him in leads me to believe that he could be it.

The King's get robbed on one for one deals with either of those 2. If they're not getting back lottery picks in return they're doing themselves a major disservice.

You've just outlined the biggest problem facing the Lakers. The game has changed and Los Angeles is no longer a premium destination in free agency. What you've suggested here isn't simply to reload in one trading deadline and offseason, but to completely rebuild in that time frame. It's a recipe for disaster.

The window to trade for Cousins slammed shut on draft night when the Lakers selected Russell. They don't have anything close to the value of that #2 pick to headline a package. Even so, why would the Lakers chase Cousins with all their assets? They can't afford to take that chance. If it doesn't work out? This franchise is dead and buried for maybe the next 5 years.

[HylianNightmare]

DMC should head East

While I don't agree with your optimism towards landing KD and Simmons, I think you're looking in a good direction for the future. Swinging and missing on KD and/or Simmons won't set the Lakers any further back than they already are. However...

Depleting any assets the Lakers have left to get Cousins right now has too much of an Isiah Thomas flavor.

I think now is the perfect time for any team to acquire Cousins. Buy low sell high right? Cousins is probably at his lowest right now, if you believe that he can still trend up on a different team with different management and solid vets.

[IncarceratedBob]

would kings take porzingis + 2 future 1sts for cousins?

[Ca$H]

Any buyers?

Russel, Randle, Clarkson, and salary filler.

[SwishSquared]

would kings take porzingis + 2 future 1sts for cousins?Porzingis is a great start (esp. since he fits alongside WCS on both ends), but I think the earliest pick you guys can trade is like 2018. Would have to include at least one of Galloway/Grant to entice them enough. Probably both, in addition to any picks/swaps.

[Nick Young]

Exactly. Trade Hibbert and Clarkson for him this season. We don't have to give up Russgawd or Randle to get him.

GET IT DONE MITCH.


Randle, Russ, Cousins that's a core of 3 great passers. Has potential to be awesome.

Cousins will get it together one day. He has a better attitude than Zack Randolph used to have.

[Jameerthefear]

i honestly wouldn't trade KP for Cousins straight up

[sd3035]

Porzingis is way better than Cousins

[el gringos]

Yeah Knicks wouldn't trade KP in a cousins trade. Plus Afflalo, Lopez, 2018 & 2020 1sts, Calderon and Galloway or grant is a pretty good package

[MMM]

Yea but keep in mind that Cousins' value seems to be declining. if they want lotto picks that will probably limit there ability to trade him. The Kings are in a tough spot because they want to be good when they enter their new building but they need to get the Cousins situation resolved

[Thorpesaurous]

I'm a Celtics fan.

To me, Cousins is still too valuable to not take a swing at, in spite of his problems, and part of that is because one of the things the C's have going for them is this great infrastructure. Brad Stevens isn't getting run out by Boogie. And Ainge is the guy upstairs. Not like this mess in Sacramento. You build that structure for the purpose of being able to apply to players like this.

I still wouldn't go too nuts. I'd be willing to give up the Nets pick this year with number one protection. So far, I'd prefer Boogie to any prospect that high other than Simmons. Then you'd have to come up with one of the other Nets picks probably moving forward as compensation if the trade went through. Obviously Lee for the contract. And I'd part with Sullinger, or James Young, or really any of the young pieces, maybe even smart if my feet were held to the fire.

So Nets Pick with Protection, Lee, and one of the kids with Sullinger. That's my offer.

[kennethgriffin]

before the season LA offered sacramento their entire team for demarcus and the kings turned them down


you deserve to have him for the rest of your natural lives

I'm not sure if you could do this deal while protecting the Nets pick for the first pick. That would be really difficult...lets say you make the trade and then the Nets get the first pick...what do you do then? Can't send Cousins back...

The Kings wouldn't be willing to take the 17 swap rights that Boston has instead as who knows if the Nets will be good or not. It's this year that the Nets pick has such value.

I think Boston would just have to risk it. The Nets will have no incentive to tank and there are some other teams that could easily finish worse than them...the Lakers and Sixers are pretty much locks to do so. And the Wolves, Pelicans (Davis could easily be shut down or just get injured soon), Suns, Nuggets, and Kings (if this trade is made)...could all finish worse than this Nets team.

I think you just send the Nets pick, Dallas pick, Lee, Sullinger, and Young for something like Cousins / Butler....maybe push for McLemore instead of Butler, but I wouldn't let the deal hinge on that.

I'd rather keep Smart and give up the Dallas pick for sure obviously. I think it would be a mistake to give up Smart.

In less I'm off...the Celtics have the Nets first rounders in both 17 and 18 as well...and the Memphis pick with lottery protection iirc. So giving up those two picks this year just doesn't mean as much to them...especially with a roster like they have.

You keep the main core together with this deal, add Cousins, retain some good future draft picks, and have the ability to have plenty of cap room to add some things this summer...especially if Amir's option isn't picked up.

Think it's worth the risk on a team that desperately needs an elite player...and those are really hard to come by.

[Milbuck]

Cousins would be a top 5 player in Boston and put them in contention. Seriously. With Brad Stevens, with that culture of toughness/intensity, and slew of quality team-first hard working players around him? Dude would wreck the league.

I'm with you for the most part except im worried about Cousins health this season and more so if it develops into a long term issue. His play this season indicates he is being bother more than he is letting on about his back and ankle

[DMAVS41]

Yea, well of course the Celtics would have to do their due diligence before they make a large move/decision like this.

Assuming there are no long term red flags health wise...I think he's definitely worth the risk given the pieces in place on the Celtics franchise top down.

I also don't think that package is really anything of particular note to be honest. Most likely the Nets will not get a top 2 pick...Lee is worthless, the Dallas pick isn't looking to be great, and while Sully/Young are nice...they are easily replaced.

Even the worst case scenario here doesn't kill the Celtcis. Which makes it kind of an obvious move unless there are some things we just don't know about Cousins or he's got some red flags on his health long term.

Yeah, I'm not even sure if it's legal, but I'd try to protect the pick for one, and if it hits, then give up the 2017 pick. You might have to pay a premium for that though, like say if the pick hits, Sac gets the 2017 pick unprotected, plus the Dallas pick this year, or something like that.

As it stands now, it's probably worth the risk. But I have a weird feeling about that Net pick this year. I suspect because of their age, that Net team will get worse as the year rolls on, between injury and just plain lethargy, while I think some of the other really bad teams will get better as their young guys run up the learning curve. And if you're into league conspiracy at all, I have a feeling that the league won't allow the Sixers to win the lottery. They've made themselves enough of a target that the league has stepped in with an advisor.

[Sarcastic]

Porzingis is untouchable. There is no way the Knicks are moving him for Cousins.

It certainly wouldn't be the craziest thing for the Nets to get the pick...and of course we can't see the future, but all logic leads to them finishing with the 3rd worst record at best (or worst depending on the point of view)

With all the other teams hovering right around that mark...I don't think I'd be willing to lose out on Cousins in hopes that the 3rd or 4th or 5th worst record lands the top pick.

Not saying it's stupid to hold out, but Cousins really is what this team is missing. And with him right now...and some additions in free agency this summer they are ready to contend.

Really tough to pass on that for a player that hasn't played in the NBA yet.

[Springsteen]

Exactly. Trade Hibbert and Clarkson for him this season. We don't have to give up Russgawd or Randle to get him.

GET IT DONE MITCH.

LOL it's all good though. Just doesn't seem too safe for Rondo.

As a Piston fan I would love to see him as our 4.

[BoutPractice]

Unless you're already a contender or have a master plan to become one, you'd be stupid not to want a 25 year old 6'11, 270 lbs center who could put up 25 and 10 in his sleep.... especially at a moment like this where his value is lower than it should be.
