Kings send Jason Thompson, Carl Landry and Stauskas to the Sixers for a protected future first. I wonder if the Sixers are looking to trade or release Landry or Thompson?

I would have been happy if the Jazz made this trade. A pick and Stauskas are nice pickups. Plus we could waive Booker leaving room for the 2 bigs on the bench. Then they come off the books in time for us to re-up our players.
I also would have been happy if Jazz took the deal Pistons took from Suns.

It sounds like the Pistons got two young wings that are decent shooters and Old Man Granger.

If I could bug one NBA front office to listen in on it would definitely be the Kings.
Let's ask Duke how that worked for UK in 2015?
Duke had three UK starters?

Doesn't sound likely but maybe we should ask them.
The Kings gave away three players AND a protected 1st round pick AND the rights to swap picks with the Sixers in two future drafts.
All for the chance - the CHANCE - to maybe land Wes Matthews and Monta Ellis in free agency. Both of whom have since turned down offers from the Kings in order to play elsewhere for less money.
They also drafted a guy that plays the same position as the only good player on their team.
You tell me that's not some of the worst front office work you've ever heard of and I'm calling you a filthy liar, full stop.
The Kings are a dumpster fire inside of a volcano being swallowed by a supernova.

WCS and Cousins definitely play different positions and occupy completely different areas of the court.
WCS was a great draft pick, though the argument could be made they could have traded down and still have gotten him.
Cousins plays a lot of his game out on the perimeter. His offensive game is more reminiscent of a traditional PF than a C. Cousins is going to score just fine. Teams can run traditional centers and still score on post-ups with their PF, especially when their PF is as skilled as Cousins.
Defensively it's a near perfect compliment.
One was Luol Deng!
Cousins playing a lot of his game out on the perimeter doesn't negate the fact that his strength lies primarily as an interior scorer. I'm sure Cousins can still score on post-ups as a 4 with a center clogging the paint, but it's almost certainly going to be less efficiently. If WCS lives up to his hype as a world-beater defensively, then that'd probably offset that issue, but given the pathetic state of their backcourt and wings, I thought taking Mudlay or Winslow and developing them would've been a better option.
In any case, my opinion of their draft pick was just supplementary information for my first post. What I really wanted to get across is that they've handled free agency about as poorly as possible.
