    With cousins I don't see Boston and Minny targeting him. But Phoenix Lakers and New Orleans I guess seem the target

    lol.... what do the pelicans really have to offer? Davis won't be included.

    Brewer Brown-Anus and McDonald deal would be better than any Pelicans offer.

    Sacramento In:
    Ryan Anderson
    Jahlil Okafor
    Corey Brewer

    That's a nice haul for Cousins and a 1st while dumping Rudy Gay.

    Philadelphia In:
    Rudy Gay
    2017 Houston 1st
    2018 Sacramento 1st
    Chinanu Onaku

    They get a first and a project for Okafor, while taking a first to increase salary to take Rudy Gay who could be instrumental in helping Simmons grow.

    Houston In:
    Demarcus Cousins
    Kostas Koufus

    We go all in on winning now. Cousins will be happy to play with Harden who will give Demarcus more space and take some pressure off of him. In the offseason you pick up some aging veterans who can really solidify this roster.

    Koufus/Capella
    Cousins/Harrell
    Ariza/Dekker
    Harden/Gordon
    Beverley/

    Depth: Nene/McDaniels/Ennis/Brown/Wiltjer

    Sign Chalmers

    I would **** myself if we traded for boogie. We can't compete with the warriors. Swing for the fences Maori!

    You really think Morey is going to trade away Anderson, a guy he's coveted for years? Anderson is a perfect fit for Moreyball, he just shouldn't be starting.

    Best we could probably offer is Capela, Dekker, Anderson and our 2017 1st for Cousins and Casspi.

    Honestly, if Bostons not in, I don't see why we wouldn't be among the favorites.

    With Cousins playing the stretch 5, I could see Harrell getting more time, which will fill some of the holes created from the loss of basically all of our front court. Casspi fills a "lesser Anderson" role.

    The Kings are strongly considering New Orleans' trade offer of two first-round picks and Buddy Hield for DeMarcus Cousins, ESPN sources say


    we can make a better offer than this

    Pretty similar to @FTW Rockets FTW 's offer. Just add a couple first rounders to it and we get boogie? Let's do it!

    If we aren't going to get him, I'd be a huge fan of Boogie going to New Orleans. That is NOT going to work....has big time potential to backfire.

    Would be sweet to have a skilled big like Cousins here . I'm sure the question of his Attitude/ DeMeaner come up. Guys think something like this would change, on a winning team and under Harden?

    Only thing is....their 1st rounders might be higher than ours. Dont know how good Hield is compared to our players.
