RIP Gay Cousins

[FireDavidKahn]

Kings stay losing.

[TheWinningFam]

Cavs will take him for shump? :confusedshrug: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[DirkNowitzki41]

Ellis is so underrated these days. Bad fit in Indy. Was a beast in Dallas, get him home cubes.

[Bless Mathews]

Op is just gay.

OKC needs a SF

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Are Indy so stubborn to only offer Monta? Can't they, like, NEGOTIATE??? Gay for Stuckey + Miles, jesus. Or Miles + 2018 1st rnd pick.


OKC needs a SF
hmm...but what do OKC have that Sac needs? A PG (Westbrook, but that aint happening. Payne then)? A PF (Sabonis? Guess for the future only...)? Shooting (Singler and Morrow! Though maybe not Morrow since Sac has 4 SGs already)? Once again, a 3rd team will probably have to get involved (seems almost every non-Boston and non-LAL trade w/ the Kings would need a 3rd team). But I'll try...

OKC gets - Rudy Gay + Darren Collison + Ben McLemore + Skal Labissiere
Sac gets - Cameron Payne + Domantas Sabons + Kyle Singler + 2019 1st rnd pick

I'd take it if I were Vlade. Kings lose scoring, but get PG of future, more shooting to surround Cousins (even though I want him traded too lol), and an asset. I'd take that over a chucker (though great scorer) who doesn't play D and a SG Kings have given up on. If OKC is willing to throw in Sabonis for Collison, I'm game.

F it, i'll just add it and see what you think.

[CelticBaller]

OKC or Blazers seem like nice fits

[Vancouver-Grizz]

Kings stay losing.


well, Toronto started winning since Gay got traded..:hammerhead: :hammerhead:

[Bankaii]

Westbrook for Cousins+Gay. Sac gets the PG they need and a superstar none the less.

OKC trades Cousins for Love+Fillers to fill the PF role Ibaka left.
Cavs get the center they need and get rid of Love.

Everyone is happy:applause:

hmm, so to break it down...

Clev gets - Cousins
OKC gets - Love + Gay (lol)
Sac gets - Westbrook

?? Seems like everyone comes out a winner there, though Cavs probably getting more in return. Maybe if they gave TT to Sac, too...? I don't care for Westbrook since he mentally breaks down in the last 4 mins of games, but if I'd take that over Cousins + Gay all day. I'll adjust it like this:

Clev gets - Cousins + McLemore + McGary
OKC gets - Love + Gay + Labissiere + 2017 1st rnd pick (Clev)
Sac gets - Westbrook + TT

Who says "no"? But Westbrook has to sign extension or I may pull out if I'm Kings...

edit:
who says no on paper? Obviously Cavs will say no since they just won a title and LeBron is in love w/ TT, and now KLove, too...

The trade for Rudy Gay & DeMarcus should involve 76ers and The Celtics. The C's have more flexibility. Celtics can offer 2018 1st round pick, Marcus Smart, Kelly Olynyk, Joe Crowder to the 76ers / Kings for Jahlil Okafor & Rudy Gay. 76ers can offer 1st round pick -received from Boston for Okafor, Nerlens Noel and Vasilije Micic for DeMarcus Cousins. The Kings will receive: 2018 first round pick, Nerlens Noel, Vasilije Micic, Marcus Smart, Kelly Olynyk and Joe Crowder.

This is my trade opinion without doing the math. I think this would be a fair trade.

I'd take this all day. Kings loaded w/ 20 players, no stars, but that's ok. All about the future! And trade Collison for a 2nd rnder to NOLA or Char or something.

WCS
Noel
Crowder
Afflalo
Smart
-------
Papa-G
Koufos
Labissiere
Olynyk
Tolliver
C Butler
Casspi
M Barnes
McLemore
Malachi
Temple
I Cousins

with 2 2018 1st rnders and hopefully Bogdanovic coming over in 2017-18, I'd be happy.

Really? That starting lineup is top 3 lottery bad.:confusedshrug:

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Really? That starting lineup is top 3 lottery bad.:confusedshrug:
it's better than the playoff Celtics' starting line-ups the past 2 seasons :confusedshrug: And like starters are only thing to judge? Not bench or coaching, etc... Shouldn't the TWolves GM know it isn't all about starting talent? :facepalm

2 potential All-D bigs (dont like redundancy? Start Olynyk instead). Potentiall All-D PG. Crowder is Crowder. Afflalo is the only weak link. But then just start Malachi or McLemore and hope one f*cking develops.

Plus, it's a trade for the future anyway, derp.

I like the idea a lot, but no way in hell Cavs give up TT.
Dude will probably retire a Cav.

Maybe love/Shump?

I'd take it, but Kings don't need another SG, unless Shump promises to master the craft of PG...lol.

[sodapop]

The Cavs don't have any future picks nor young talent to give the Kings. Love & Shumpert would not be enough to satisfy the Kings GM. The Kings want to rebuild with a younger core of players, meaning young talent and upcoming first round draft picks. The Celtics and the 76ers have the right pieces to offer the Kings in a three way team trade.

You have nobody who can make a basket in that starting lineup.

[CelticGangster]

Rudy Gay is a fcking alpha

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

D leads to transition! God, Joerger won games w/ half D-Leaguers on his team when Memphis was trying to tank. You don't think he can get the best out of that roster?

[MiseryCityTexas]

well, Toronto started winning since Gay got traded..:hammerhead: :hammerhead:

Gay's NBA career would've been much different if he woulda stayed in Memphis, and wasn't traded to Toronto. Rudy was on the verge of becoming an Allstar level player, Memphis did him dirty just because he had a couple of off nights.

[MiseryCityTexas]

That front court of Gay,Gasol, and Randolph was underrated as hell.
