    I would trade Lowry, our #14, and our #16 for Cousins.

    I would, they wouldn't

    Give them both picks, Lowry, Scola, or whoever on our roster. Another dumb thread. The quality in this board has plummeted over the years kind of like our teams roster!

    Why would Kings do this trade? Cousins is worth more than anyone on our team. He is a big center with skills and high potential. Its just his motor that is questionable. But overall he has the potential to be a star in this league. The Rockets have none. The Kings want nothing from the Rockets. The Kings already have a high pick that is much more valuable than anyone on our roster anyway.

    Plus the Kings have a brighter future than the Rockets. They have young talent plus a high lottory pick. The ROckets have no young talented players that will become stars or a high lottery pick. We go through this crap every year for the last 3 seasons. Everything is mediocre with Houston. If this continues with the same results, Morey is out!!! P.S, LES needs to stop being so stubborn and start thinking outside the box. He needs to be like some other smart owners and think outside the box.

    Look at OKC, they were smart and rebuild their team like the Spurs. They rebuild their team through the lottery and look how successful they are. Im not saying the Rockets would have the same result as the Thunders but if they would have started rebuilding this team when Yao Ming declares for retirement, they would have a much brighter team and a much brighter future today. But for some reason Les continues to believe they can compete in the playoffs with this current mediocre team with their 14th pick and 2nd round picks.

    14th pick players have a less chance of being as great of a player as the top 5 pick. The best and the highest potential players are usually taken by the 5th or 6th pick and the good role players falls down to 10th and under.

    I'd have to think about it.

    What does Stephen A. have to say about this?

    In a heart beat, but kings wouldn't be that dumb to make that kind of trade. Move along.

    This makes zero sense....

    And Lowry plus the 14th and 16th pick wouldn't get this done.

    I'm sure Scramento would jump over that proposal. It's a 16th pick for god's sake. :rolleyes:

    Is this a joke? :rolleyes:
    This is not even a valid question, lets just also trade our 14th pick for Dwight Howard and lowry for Lebron james.

    Lets see now. Cousins averaged 18 pts and 11 rebounds last year. And, he's only 22 years old. Yes, I think I would definitely give up our 16th pick for this young stud.

    Wow, just think what we can get for our 14th pick!

    Cousins is worth more than a mid 1st round pick, even with his attitude.

    Hey guys! Do you think we should trade Kevin Martin and a 2nd for Michael Jordan in his prime??!?? I know it's a hefty price to pay for just one guy, but, he would put us over the top!!
