Trade potential? Cousins Not Happy With The Kings

[Roy H.]

Would you give up the #3 pick in 2015, Sullinger, Young, a Nets pick, and Wallace's contract?

In an adrenaline heartbeat.

A problem and a key to keeping him happy and looking like the second coming of Shaquille is currently playing for the mavs.  A threesome of green cousins and rondo would be great.
But we can't think of such things.

Maybe we can...Rondo is a FA this summer....could Cousins entice him back?

I think quite possibly.

Cousins, and we sign rondo and love in FA

Where's your breaking point?  The #1 pick?  That plus both Nets picks?

As much as I like Okafor, I'd trade him for Cousins.  I mean, we're talking about the most dominant center in the NBA.  I'd probably be okay including both Nets picks, too.  Certainly the 2016 Nets pick.

I would give up green, and Sully or KO and some picks for Cousins

[action781]

Cousins is 24 years old, is signed to a long-term contract, and is having the second most statistically dominant season by a big man in the last decade.

I don't think that even teams as poorly managed as Sacramento would trade him.

Everybody has a price.

Everyone's gotta pay.

Cuz the million dollar man always gets his way.

[jambr380]

I think what Roy and many others are saying is that if you can somehow acquire a young, sure-fire all-star (probably superstar) center for whatever we currently have, you go for it. You build a team around stars first, not the other way around. Other than Durant, Davis, and Lebron, we really couldn't ask for anyone better than Cousins. It sure would feel nice to again have a direction.

If Cousins is available, it might require waiting until the off-season and the Celtics ending up with a top five pick to create a package that is attractive to Sacramento.

The only caveat with waiting until the offseason is that by that time, the Cavs (or whatever team LeBron is on) will win the lottery and trade the #1 pick for DMC. If not, David Stern would come out of retirement for a day to veto a trade to the Celtics.

Joking (Joking?) aside, I would give anyone or anything to get Demarcus Cousins. Literally everyone on our team is an "asset," and thus expendable, at this point when compared to Cousins. I would even consider giving up all of the Nets' picks seeing that we are hoping to maybe be in a position to draft someone that ends up like Cousins.   

[tazzmaniac]

If Cousins were actually available, Ainge should offer whatever it takes to outbid everyone else.  If it takes 4 or 5 1st round picks, do it.  If we get Cousins, we'll make the playoffs in the weak east so none of our picks would be in the lottery and there is no guarantee any of the Nets picks will be in the lottery.  Obviously anyone currently on the team should be available.

Woah woah woah, there's no need to give up Brookline.  Whatever your personal thoughts about it are, I on't think anyone wants the Kings owning any part of MA

The #1 pick in 2015 (assume Celtics get lucky in the lottery), Smart, Young, Olynyk, and both Nets picks?

[celts10]

Rondo is a FA this summer....could Cousins entice him back?

And maybe Rondo could entice Josh Smith, or vice versa...

[Kuberski33]

The only way we're getting someone of Cousin's caliber is if we draft him.  Teams don't trade that type of talent because their fan base (and local advertising base) would revolt.  The only way someone like that leaves is if he wants out and forces a trade.  And even if that were to happen, we're at the back of the line in terms of teams with marketable assets to give up.

It would be awesome to be the Kings marketing dept and try to sell an angry fan base on Sully and Jeff Green and player X in 2016 when you shipped your franchise player out of town to get them....
