    i agree....the kings will get some very good offers including certain teams that will offer very good experienced players. Players like cousins don't grow on trees and NBA execs know it. He is arguably the best big behind Anthony Davis (no disrespect to my boy Howard) but imagine dumping the ball to Cousins to take pressure off players like Harden. I think this might be absurd and I don't know the salary camp ramifications but I'd consider trading Howard for Cousins and this is coming from a big time supporter of Howard.

    Holy ****

    Ranadive should fire Karl immediately. The guy has been there like six months and he's trying to push out Cousins? Wow.

    Kings about to screw the pooch. There is no excuse for trading Cousins. None. You get rid of Karl before you get rid of Cousins.

    George Karl is a drama queen.

    If Kings are going to screw it up by letting George run the show and getting rid of Cousins, Rockets need to capitalize and get Cousins to Houston!

    His stock has taken a hit because everyone knows that Kings have to trade him.

    George Karl is a fool. Fire him already.

    I bet you anything Karl is telling the Kings to look at the Melo trade while Karl was in Denver as evidence that he can make a Cousins trade work. Of course Denver still stinks and Karl got fired there too.

    Snake in the grass?

    Also, PLEASE get your act together Eastern Conference! A viable poo poo platter is all it takes to get a top 3 center.

    Don't let him go to LA!

    ^ Iggy tweet was when he was with Warriors, but the Carmelo one is interesting to say the least

    -----------

    This is Dan Fegan's world

    Prepare yourself for this $hit next summer, Rockets fans. Dwight will opt out.
