The Boogie Watch

[Phantom255x]

It still doesn't change much, Gay will be gone and Cousins may need to be traded.

Idk, after tonight the Kings will only have two more losses than Boston but same number of wins.

[Rondo9]

And? Is it enough for them to make it to the playoffs in the west?

[Ogaju]

Is the Boogie Watch kind of like Apple Watch?

[fantankerous]

Is the Boogie Watch kind of like Apple Watch?

Yes.  Only heavier and more reliable.

The Kings must be smoking that good good, if they presume Cousins will re-sign. Even if he likes his coach, Gay is leaving, they have an glutton of young center prospects. Their best guard is Darren Collison, and they lost someone like Rondo for absolutely nothing, because even he admits it was an terrible experience.

The Kings are pretty much going to cross fingers, and pray for Cousins to want to re-sign and stay without major roster changes, and moves. Even if Cousins likes his coach, he better be wary if desperate measures and moves aren't taken.. Because how many times have he heard, "don't worry about it, just wait till next year.."

Also for anyone saying Cousins isn't at least worth the risk, explain to me why, and in return I'll ask you, why do you want Anthony Davis then?

I think he's definitely worth the risk, but I just don't know if I could stand how much it'd cost to get him, especially with how we've been playing offensively. We're second in the league in offensive efficiency right now, so while he'd help us on the boards, I think there's cheaper options that could both help us on the boards and shore up our interior defense, which I don't think Cousins helps all that much with.

An expanded article on this new report said that their asking price for Cousins was ridiculously high, so I just wonder how much, if any, it will actually come down if they put him on the trade market.

Nothing but posturing... OKC either lucked out, or knew Westbrook was going to stay ahead of time...

Kings must trade him, or at least have some inkling of Cousin's future decisions. All I know is... If they don't do well this year, its not going to end too well for the Kings.

I don't even think they know anything solid about his intentions. I just think they're irrational in his trade value, which makes you wonder if it ever will come down.

I would honestly still be okay with giving up the Nets pick, a mix of Rozier, late first round picks, and take on a bad contract for Cousins.

I seriously don't think Cousins is going to stay though.

This place is just toxic, and it should leave nothing but bitter taste in his mouth. For a guy people loathe and hate, he's a pretty darn loyal, PLUS quiet guy that goes about his business off court.

[Phantom255x]

Cousins had 28 points against the Pelicans, and between him and Anthony Davis, Davis edged him out a bit but Kings did win as well, now 4-5 (actually pretty decent).

[TrueFan]

The Kings should trade Cousins to the Celtics for the Nets pick, Rozier and some other draft picks.

They would end up being a bottom 5 team after losing Cousins and get two top 5 picks in a stacked draft. It would be a great reboot for the Kings. They would just have to hire someone that can actually draft.

They would most likely be terrible the year after also so they would potentially end up with 3 top 5 picks in 2 years. They may even be able to trade WCS for a future lottery pick before his value goes any lower.

Can someone give me a better plan for the Kings that involves keeping Cousins?

I guess the Kings GM is not as bad as I thought. WCS still has some value but if they sit on him much longer they will be lucky to get a mid first rounder for him.

Hopefully the whole prediction becomes true.

[chambers]

So do the Celtics even have a chance of getting Cousins?

I don't see any other near contender that has anywhere near the assets that we do.

Sure, certain other teams could potentially outbid us with young promising players, but most of these teams are not any closer to contending or even making the playoffs than Sacramento, meaning Cousins won't agree to go there, which is part of the consideration no matter what some say.

Amir, Brown, Rozier, Young, the 2017 Brooklyn pick, and the Memphis pick (or even the other Brooklyn pick if absolutely necessary) is about as good as any potential contender with Cousins can offer. This also allows them to start completely fresh with this draft with two probable top-five picks in the Brooklyn pick and their own pick, though Philly has swap rights if it's higher.

That's assuming that Sacramento takes a rational approach to rebuilding, which is a fairly risky assumption.

Well if you're going to over pay for a guy that puts up big numbers on a horrible team, with the worse attitude in the league why not give them every other pick we have for the next 20 years?

Not really an overpay until the suggestion to include the 2nd Nets pick.  Amir and Young don't matter.  Rozier and the Memphis pick don't matter much.  Basically its Brown and the 2017 Nets pick for Cousins which isn't a bad deal especially since the Nets aren't playing like a bottom 3 team.   Brown is growing on me a bit so might rather see the 2nd Nets pick included.  We're not losing any of our core pieces in the trade.

There is no way we'd give up Brown and the Nets pick for Cousins. It would be one or the other with some filler. He's just not worth that much because of his emotional instability.
We'd have to be one of the best destinations for him given the strong, solid personalities in our locker room, and our coach- but Danny just wouldn't give up Jaylen and the Nets pick.

I think something like the Nets pick+Rozier+Mickey would probably get it done.

WOW COUSINS!!! 5 CLUTCH points final 40 seconds.

Kings and Blazers heading to OT with the score 106-106.

Cousins has 28 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists

In 8 minutes, WCS had 4 points and 2 rebounds. 

Rudy Gay also shooting well and has 26 points.

In 19 minutes, Koufos (another possible target) had 10 points, 6 rebounds.

[Phantom255x]

Kings LOSE 122-120. Now 4-7. McCollum and Lillard too much for SAC.

Cousins finished with 33 points.
