Or would it take more?

I say do whatever you can to get him in NOLA

With Jrue and Reke coming back, we would be a direct threat to the west playoff race.

Honestly, It would probably take 1 first and Buddy to get them to pick up the phone.

Obviously it would take a lot more, but this is the kings we're taking about. They have a history of sending out really good players in exchange for players that don't even make it to opening night.

Their owner legitimately said they should play 4 v. 5 on defense so there would always be an open man on the other end for the quick score

Of course I don't think they consider this deal, but getting trade raped is kind of their thing.

You can tell people don't understand basketball when they think a second round pick holds value in the NBA like it does in the NFL.

Hes the best big in the league. Youd have to mortgage the franchise ala Ricky Williams. The Kings are gonna grab John wall and make a run at the west.

Yea, not saying i'd do the deal but they are clearly not going to give him away. They are playing hardball. Seems like there are Cousin trade talks every year

We have no chance to get cousins via trade

Jrue Holiday got 2 top 10 first round picks.
You think a mere 1st and a worthless 2nd is going to net Cousins?

We'd have to offer Jrue, Buddy and a first, just as a starting point.
And I'm not giving that up for Cousins. We'd have no decent perimeter players, and no real way of getting any in the near future most likely.

Pelicans get oubre

Kings get Beal, gortat, and protected 1st round from Washington

Wizards get cousins, tyreke, and protected 1st from us

Win!

I'll take that. Wizards seem to be getting to much in that deal, unless that 1st is very heavily protected.

I was spitballing names that came off the top of my head. This would work better IMHO. Beal can't be traded yet either -- we send out a pick

Pelicans get: Porter and WCS
Kings get: Wall, Gortat, Ajinca, Oubre, and a top 5 protected 1st from us
Wizards get: Cousins, Gay, and Evans

Wizards keep their pick.
