DeMarcus Cousins started following Julius Randle, Isaiah Thomas, and Paul George.
Well, looks like we know where he's heading to this summer, along with Paul George. Now waiting for LeBron James to unfollow the Cavs and start following those guys and his new team as well.
LOL how can the Lakers even afford all that.
They essentially need to sign three max-contracts (Lebron, George, Cousins), re-sign Randle and Thomas with Bird Rights. They'd virtually have to trade everyone else (Kuzma, Ball, Ingram, Deng) to make that work...
Dumping Deng will be tough. That a Gerald Wallace type dump required.
Absolutely fascinating off-season this one..
Reward a team who's willing to absorb his contract with a 1st rounder. Worked well for Danny
I imagine for them to even dump Deng, they'd have to package Ingram or Kuzma in a deal. I highly doubt a team is taking back Deng and his contract for some mere late 1st rounder to be honest. And frankly, I imagine a team that's losing their star player is willing to just let him go for nothing than taking back a late first rounder... and Deng (LOL).
Like Ryan Anderson for Houston, Deng is going to be hard to trade. Not like Lakers have any other high draft picks coming up soon.
