It obviously depends on the Kings' willingness to trade him this summer but if they decide that now is the time, Danny should do his best to get him. He would provide the scoring punch we still lack and make a good big man combo with Horford.

Definitely a call worth making.

Getting Horford signifies the importance of a 3rd star. Cousins would still be a good fit

The problem is that the discussion will begin with the 2017 Brooklyn pick, and probably include Smart and potentially Jaylen Brown.

All you youth movement lovers OK with that?

What's the point of a Plan B? Golden State is going to win the championship no matter what. I'm not even sure there is a point of following the NBA for the next five years. The NBA is going to lose a lot of fans/viewers because of this ridiculousness.

I'd part with Smart but absolutely not Jaylen Brown. Stay the course. This All Horford signing was useless now that we didn't get Durant but it was still a good signing cause he makes the team better. Trade anything u want for Cousins just not JB

give em Rozier, Young, Hunter, Perry Jones III, and Zoran Dragic. It's Boogie time.... I have a suspicion Orlando will attempt a trade for BC. They're hoarding Bigs and had interest previously.

There is no need for a Plan B, our Plan A - which from my understanding was Horford - worked.

Horford has played his career as a Center, why would we look to acquire another Center immediately? There is no need to gut our team, when it is now clear that we have become a viable free agent destination, with 2017 Free Agent market looking great... which will also include KD again. Next year GS will have to find a way to max, KD, Steph and Iguodala... who I would argue is more important than Draymond.

The addition of Horford alone will drastically change how teams play us on offense and play against us on defense and is worth us being a 55+ win team.

There is no need for a plan B... we already got our fireworks!!!

I'd go after Anthony Davis first. Davis and Hordford would be more ideal.

The Horford move, if it doesn't spell the end of "asset accumulation," was futile. If Danny allows Brown to stop a Cousins trade, he's lost his mind.

I would move any reasonable combination of what Ainge hasn't been able to move to date for Cousins - Brooklyn 17, Smart and Brown for one.

Kings might be motivated and waving the white flag.
