Sacramento Kings bringing in the Love?

Sam Amico has no sources whatsoever. He throws shit on the fan and hopes it sticks

This would be so unbelievably dumb, Love-Cousins isn't a good fit anyway, and there's no way he'd re-sign there.

He'd just leave after a year, (that team may not even make the playoffs frankly) and the Kings would be set back another 3-5 years.

Just keep building around Cousins, they aren't far off from being a solid team if they're smart.

Pretty sure you meant the Kings roster right now is so unbelievably dumb.

I see some Da Vinci code stuff here

He clearly didn't mean it in that context he clearly meant if the team is smart and get's the right pieces to surround Cousins and whoever else is the 2nd guy they could form a solid team......Not that they are a high IQ team.....

I too believe that the Kings are right on the verge of becoming a solid team. I feel as if they have a lot of talent on their roster and really just need a couple of those 'glue guys', the players who bring leadership in spades and preach defense.

Kevin Love is not this player. Even if he did commit to the Kings he just isn't the guy they need. He will probably net the Kings a few more wins each season but in my opinion it would not be the foundation of a team that can consistently compete in the playoffs.

[R.I.P.]

Sacramento Kings are in the leaders in the Kevin Love sweepstakes. We shall see: http://hoops-nation.com/kings-leader...e-sweepstakes/

Love Gay Cousins?

So what they trade? The 8th pick and McLemore? I just had a good laugh.

Please no..

They would need players that actually play defense.

would either the kings or the bulls want to do something like the 8th+ mclemore for gibson and fillers to make it work?

kings: it gets a great defensive presence on the floor, and a front court mate next to cousins. gibson is also a reliable 3rd option on offense. but they do lose out on the potential of ben (whatever that may be)

bulls: they give up on taj, but at they least wont have to pay him. positives - they set up their back court for the future. rose, mclemore, and butler at the 3. and as far as the 8th pick goes, by the way its looking, randle could potentially fall that low, and if not him, maybe vonleh. could work out nice for the bulls (but if mirotic is eventually coming, it might just negate the whole idea)

I wonder if Denver might want Rudy Gay I would love package him to land Gallo/Ill Will and Mozgov in a deal for like Rudy Gay/Williams and Jason Thompson. Both Gallo/Ill Will have been injury prone lately but I'd be willing to take a risk and Mozgov is crazy underrated imo.

Denver always been saying they need a closer since Melo left.

[El Kabong]

JT 8th and McLemore. I'd do it. While there's no guarantee Love will resign, he will want the most possible money, so we can still S&T him.

Move him on next year to Boston (which sounds like one of the places he wants to go to) for the guy they pick at #6, the Brooklyn picks + whatever else you can get.

Well that's true but defense is 50% effort. Just need some guys who can build respect within the locker room and who aren't afraid to hold others accountable if they don't bring it on the defensive end.

[comerb]

My understanding is that Love wants to go to a team that can actually win. Plus, who the **** would want Cousins as a teammate?

[BlazerRed]

Bad idea. Not who the Kings need and no way he re-signs.

[Miles and Miles]

They traded for Gay knowing that he might not be here this next year. I don't think that would stop them. So does Love make the team worse than say having the 8th pick, Ben, and JT or basically trading anyone away that is under contract other than Cousins?
