Source: Houston Potential Destination for Cousins, but Unlikely...

Wow, that Mav's trade offer is garbage. Kings get another scoring PG with a low ceiling, a Ryan Hollins/Jamario Moon clone and then 2nd round picks.

The best offer in that article is the Magic's BY FAR.

 

It was also let slip that Cousins' "indefinite" suspension was lifted not by Geoff, but on the direct order of the Maloofs. At this point, I think it's pretty safe to say that the Maloofs will not allow Cousins to be moved come hell or high water and Geoff is now resigned to his fate.

Jesus.

 

if we get demarcus cousin we will have a trade bait for love !

 

Yeah, i agree that Orlando package is pretty good. Houston's is second.

Houston Maybe third...Celtics have a nice package as well

 

I think the Wiz and the Bobcats are also pretty good.

 

Not a fan of Cousins and I am a huge fan of Greg Smith. But as far as buying low and selling high, that would be a heck of a deal for the Rockets - assuming Cousins eventually wakes up.

But if I were the Kings, I wouldn't do any of those trades.

 

Patterson and crap for two much better players. Good deal.

 

Wow, those all suck. If I was Sac and those were my options, I'd just fire the coach.

 

Would only work if Morey had his hands on a sextape showing Sacramento GM and Owner having gay sex.

 

Isn't Tyreke Evans injured?

 

Maloofs would leak that tape and get their own reality TV show, they need money right now.

 

From that piece, the BOBCATS have far and away the best package to offer.

The "heading" for the Bobcats does not state what would be far and away the most significant piece of the offer: the future first round pick owed from Detroit with limited protection and which could possibly be a top-5 pick by 2015.

 

Marcus Morris and Greg Smith for Cousins would be about as one-sided as they come. If Asik is off the table, Morey would have to offer DMo and Smith to keep them from hanging up on him. But even then, what do we do with Cousins, bring him off the bench? That would probably not go over well. I just can't see him starting along side Asik, I don't think he could effectively play the 4 in our system.

 

Agreed. I don't know why that wasn't highlighted. The Bobcats have two very high #1 picks (their own and Detroit's) that pushes any deal they could offer way above any other team.

Note that the Bulls own the Bobcats' 2012 first round pick, top 14 protected, top 12 protected in 2013, from the Tyrus Thomas trade. So their own pick added to the deal would be the one *after* that, and it would still have a lot of value. Charlotte is going to stink for years yet.

Speaking of which, Chicago would "technically" be in the running for Cousins themselves, with a package consisting of the Bobcats pick and Deng or Boozer and a prospect. But I can't see a no-nonsense defense-minded coach like Thibodeau meshing with a frontcourt player who doesn't defend well or shoot well in Cousins, and is generally all-nonsense off the court. That relationship would last about a week. So that's probably why we don't see Chicago's name up there as well. They have the assets but not the desire.

 

its about matching salaries bro. Cooks salary was only 1 mill less than cousins makes
