But DeMarcus Cousins' agent Jarinn Akana tells ESPN that Cousins is unlikely to sign a summer extension with any team that trades for him

"I have spoken many times recently with Vivek and Vlade about DeMarcus’ future with the Kings," Akana said. (CONT')

More Akana: "They have assured me, and DeMarcus, that the Kings won’t trade him, and are committed to signing DeMarcus long term." (CONT')

More Akana: "In fact Vlade has gone on record saying exactly the same thing. If the Kings flip-flop on what they committed, that is on them"

Akana: "Under the circumstances ... I would find it highly unlikely DeMarcus would re-sign with a team that trades for him at this point"

We would have no one else on the team lol. Two big men, a guard and a empty shell.

The tweet saying that boogie won't commit to re-signing with the team that trades for him is a bit terrifying

I agree but you have to give it a shot anyway. It's better than spending a lot on middling FA talent or sending picks for Okafor/Lopez.

I guess not but if he leaves and we don't have a first round pick, we're fricked harder than if we just sucked and got a top-6 pick and re-signed Jrue.

Boogie and his agent would lose a shite ton of money if he gets traded. Wouldn't shock me if that is the reason for those rumors. Possibility of him not resigning to scare teams away.

Told the packages the Kings are considering are from the Lakers, Suns, and Pelicans, w/ New Orleans the leader. Trade more likely than not. Per CarmichaelDave

If they don't trade Ajinca or Asik at the deadline and get Boogie, it will be insane to think how much money we'll be paying for front court guys the rest of the year
