    Would you give... Ariza+Capela+Beverley+picks for Cousins? Kings would be looking for higher picks, but just in case...

    We still would have after the trade like near 40M to spend in FAs. Personally I would use them to re-sign DMo, sign Harrison Barnes, sign Llull.

    Llull
    Harden
    Barnes
    Motiejunas
    Cousins

    No bench excepting Brewer & rookies + vet mins.

    Just fantasizing...

    Our rebounding numbers would definitely go up. I don't know, I'm a huge boogie fan just not on this team. Not the greatest chemistry guy/defender, to go with another star who's not the greatest chemistry guy/defender

    Cousins is a coach/team killer. He's never won anything since he's been in the league and will never win anything as the #1 option.

    No thanks. Cousins cries about everything, imagine how much crying there would be if he had to share attention with Harden and or 3rd superstar. Too much selfishness on one team, no matter how talented.

    I would take Cousins over Howard for sure, however, you can't take Cousins unless you have a Tom Thibedeu or JVG coach....a STRONG one that can hold him accountable and make him better.

    Team Headcase (AKA The Houston Rockets) need another malcontent knucklehead like they need another hole in the head. Even if that knucklehead is Cousins.

    Not just no.....Hell no.

    maybe the problem is that there aren't enough malcontent knuckleheads on this team. if the roster consisted solely of talented, mercurial headcases, then maybe that could be our style. like the charleston chiefs.

    Lmao. You're CRAZY if you'd pass on Cousins because he's not likable. Everybody is not going to be Tim Duncan. The guy is a beast and I'd give up anyone of our bigs for him

    Cyber should know more about this with his ties.

    The only thing i've heard is the relationship among James and Boogie.

    IF we can't get Durant, Boogie is the next best thing.

    Actually, in terms of what we need in the post with Dwight becoming a third option, Boogie may be a better fit.

    Tricky.

    Boogie would be great next to Harden, with the right coach. Without the right coach, it could get as bad as Harden walking when his contract is up.

    The organization has to be up to task and we have to offer the Kings something really special, which I don't know that we have.

    Nope to Cousin's, he is who he is and he's not changing. So all the negatives from Sac will come to Houston. No, No, No, No, No... Let D12 and JSmoove move along.

    If we can't make a trade this summer, I would love to pickup Demarcus Cousins in free agency. We need a legitimate frontcourt scorer. Similar to the way Gasol helped Toronto and Brooks Lopez helped Milwaukee.

    Trade Matt Maloney, Moochie Norris, and Charles Jones for him. Proceed to win rings.
