RIP Gay Cousins

[FireDavidKahn]

Kings stay losing.

[TheWinningFam]

Cavs will take him for shump?

[DirkNowitzki41]

Ellis is so underrated these days. Bad fit in Indy. Was a beast in Dallas, get him home cubes.

[Bless Mathews]

Op is just gay.

OKC needs a SF

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Are Indy so stubborn to only offer Monta? Can't they, like, NEGOTIATE??? Gay for Stuckey + Miles, jesus. Or Miles + 2018 1st rnd pick.

OKC needs a SF

hmm...but what do OKC have that Sac needs? A PG (Westbrook, but that aint happening. Payne then)? A PF (Sabonis? Guess for the future only...)? Shooting (Singler and Morrow! Though maybe not Morrow since Sac has 4 SGs already)? Once again, a 3rd team will probably have to get involved (seems almost every non-Boston and non-LAL trade w/ the Kings would need a 3rd team). But I'll try...

OKC gets - Rudy Gay + Darren Collison + Ben McLemore + Skal Labissiere
Sac gets - Cameron Payne + Domantas Sabons + Kyle Singler + 2019 1st rnd pick

I'd take it if I were Vlade. Kings lose scoring, but get PG of future, more shooting to surround Cousins (even though I want him traded too lol), and an asset. I'd take that over a chucker (though great scorer) who doesn't play D and a SG Kings have given up on. If OKC is willing to throw in Sabonis for Collison, I'm game.

F it, i'll just add it and see what you think.

[CelticBaller]

OKC or Blazers seem like nice fits

[Vancouver-Grizz]

Kings stay losing.

well, Toronto started winning since Gay got traded..

Westbrook for Cousins+Gay. Sac gets the PG they need and a superstar none the less.

OKC trades Cousins for Love+Fillers to fill the PF role Ibaka left.
Cavs get the center they need and get rid of Love.

Everyone is happy

hmm, so to break it down...

Clev gets - Cousins
OKC gets - Love + Gay (lol)
Sac gets - Westbrook

?? Seems like everyone comes out a winner there, though Cavs probably getting more in return. Maybe if they gave TT to Sac, too...? I don't care for Westbrook since he mentally breaks down in the last 4 mins of games, but if I'd take that over Cousins + Gay all day. I'll adjust it like this:

Clev gets - Cousins + McLemore + McGary
OKC gets - Love + Gay + Labissiere + 2017 1st rnd pick (Clev)
Sac gets - Westbrook + TT

Who says "no"? But Westbrook has to sign extension or I may pull out if I'm Kings...

edit:
who says no on paper? Obviously Cavs will say no since they just won a title and LeBron is in love w/ TT, and now KLove, too...

The trade for Rudy Gay & DeMarcus should involve 76ers and The Celtics. The C's have more flexibility. Celtics can offer 2018 1st round pick, Marcus Smart, Kelly Olynyk, Joe Crowder to the 76ers / Kings for Jahlil Okafor & Rudy Gay. 76ers can offer 1st round pick -received from Boston for Okafor, Nerlens Noel and Vasilije Micic for DeMarcus Cousins. The Kings will receive: 2018 first round pick, Nerlens Noel, Vasilije Micic, Marcus Smart, Kelly Olynyk and Joe Crowder.

This is my trade opinion without doing the math. I think this would be a fair trade.

I'd take this all day. Kings loaded w/ 20 players, no stars, but that's ok. All about the future! And trade Collison for a 2nd rnder to NOLA or Char or something.

WCS
Noel
Crowder
Afflalo
Smart
-------
Papa-G
Koufos
Labissiere
Olynyk
Tolliver
C Butler
Casspi
M Barnes
McLemore
Malachi
Temple
I Cousins

with 2 2018 1st rnders and hopefully Bogdanovic coming over in 2017-18, I'd be happy.

Really? That starting lineup is top 3 lottery bad.
