Lakers In Talks To Acquire DeMarcus Cousins

[Sarcastic]

#2 pick, future 2nd round pick, + salary dump for Cousins is a good trade. Feel bad for Okafor if it happens. Going from LA to Sacramento would suck.

Sacramento isn't going from Cousins to Okafor, that's redundantly stupid.

Not a chance in hell the Kings do that...

Need to throw Randle and probably Clarkson in...

No chance they giving him up that easily

He doesn't want to be there. They'll lose him in free agency in 3 years one way or another. This gives them a reset with 7 years of Okafor.

No way would they give up Randle too. Clarkson maybe. It's not like they wasted assets to get him anyway.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Please no.

Randle & JC straight up or no deal.

However, Cousins, Kobe, Okafor & 10-15 million in cap sounds really interesting.

I'm talking about taking a back to the basket center when your franchise has proven to not to know how to build around players like that.

Re: Lakers, Wade have Mutual Interest

For all the laker fans cringing... it could be a good sign that the front office will build to win now instead of later on... so dont be surprised if the lakers deal the #2 pick and randle for a superstar

god i'm tired of being right all the time



Kobe/Wade/Cousins

[Fallen Angel]

Are Laker fans really trolling me that they want people to think Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson are valuable assets

So you think the Kings would trade probably the best centre in the league for rolling the dice on number 2 pick.. Which even if he turns out to be decent likely won't be as good as cousins.. Cousins is very young.. And he still has 3 years left in his contract.. 3 years is long enough for the Kings to feel confident at improving their roster to a point that staying may seem attractive to cousins

Why would the Kings just throw that away? For someone unproven that could be a bust? That's not going to happen

Throw in Randle and Clarkson then things get interesting..
Without them in the deal it's nothing but a pipe dream

[Sarcastic]

Please no.

Randle & JC straight up or no deal.

They can get better offers than Randle and Clarkson. Deal has to start with the pick. You'd be getting the best center in the NBA.

depends on what you define valuable as


theyre both good players with high upside and cheep contracts


theyre literally the #1 thing rebuilding/bad market teams go want in trades


are either guys a superstar. no... if they were already the lakers would keep them

[kennethgriffin]

to get cousins i'd give the kings all 3 of clarkson/randle/okafor


what good are those guys if kobe/wade's last few years are wasted


kobe/wade/cousins will attract cheap free agent minimum contract ring chasers...


**** the future... 1 more title is better than gambling on 1-2 titles 6-7 years from now

Lol
I that core would win 35 games tops in the west and cousins would be pissed as Kobe/wade putting up 50 shots between them a game at 35% fg

Jees that would be a train wreck of a roster

[pastis]

C - DMC
PF - KL
G - Kobe

looks damn good, and this team would be immediatly up there for the hard fight for a playoff place.

but what about the bench? amare? jermaine o neal? what about dominique jones from china?
