    So Lakers get Cousin's in exchange for move 4 spots down in the draft? sounds silly to me but its the Lakers right....everyone just wants to gift them players and picks in trades right?

    If it wasn't ridiculous and there was any chance of it actually happening, it wouldn't be a Lakers trade rumor.

    Exactly.

    #6 + Cousins for #5 + Vucevic is just so incredibly stupid.

    I think the best thing for us is that Boogie stays put regardless.

    Cousins is the best center in the league, there's no way the kings are stupid enough to trade him

    No way??

    Kings have done some fairly interesting things in their time...

    If they get Vucevic, Randle and #2 in exchange for Cousins, do they do it?

    What if Orlando got #6 in exchange for Vooch? So they would get #5 and #6 in this years draft. Do they do that?


    I know the trade has been reported in various ways, but that doesn't mean that is what is being discussed... Sadly I do think there are possible ways that this could actually happen. Wouldn't be shocked to see the Kings pull the trigger and go all in on a young guy who they think will be a franchise player (Russell?), while at the same time picking up a solid big, and a young talent.

    If Vlade Divac trades Boogie to the Lakers, it would be like Kevin McHale trading KG to the Celtics.

    Yeah that's how I see it.

    Kings getting their next franchise guy while picking up a nice young big at the same time. Would be a good get for the Kings (unless the guy busts out of course.) so I could see it happening.

    Maybe not the way it is being reported and not sure why the Lakers have to fit into it but we'll see I guess.

    Yup....just read the article. It looks like he's on his way out prior to the season. UNBELIEVABLE.

    Kings can receive so much more for Boogie, the picks would have to go to them.

    He's going to the Lakers. This will be huge if they get him.
