Kings Trade Cousins to the Pelicans
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
I actually love this trade. New Orleans gets two super-stars and the Kings get out of a relationship that was obviously never going to work. They sold low as ****, but they get picks and I guess Hield could still turn into a solid player. The important part is they dont have Cousins and can move on.
Woah

Pelicans trade Hield, Evans, Galloway, their 2017 1st rnd pick (1-3 protected) 2017 76ers 2nd rnd pick to Kings for Cousins, Casspi

Un ****ing believable.
Wish Utah had made this gamble. Kings owner should be forced to sell team to someone competent.

They should have traded him a while ago, but at least they didnt lose him for nothing. Cousins is going to be one of those guys simply getting rid of him will improve their franchise.

Improve their franchise? This is them throwing in the towel.. They've got a multi-year tank planned thats whats gonna improve the franchise... will probably wait around for Bagley and Scottie Lewis..
Jumpstarting the youthmovement is what this is.
Rumours are they could have traded him last year for D'Angello Russell and the pick that led to Brandon Ingram.
Kings lost all that for 6 more months of Cousins on the roster.
Yeah, but you can't cry over spilled milk. They got a deal done eventually, better late than never.
Do the Kings also keep their pick now that they'll be in the lottery?
If they can lose a lot of games, it has to be in the top 10 for them to keep it. Wouldn't be surprised if that is a struggle. Wouldn't be surprised if they are a more consistent team without him.
Hopefully Skal can get some minutes.

The Lakers shot down a Cousins deal including Ingram apparently..
They could do what GSW did to land Barnes... get a lead into the 4th, then rest all their starters in the final 8 minutes.
Works every-single-time.

You're crazy. Casspi's a decent 3'n'd player too the Kings are about to play possum..
Sorry meant to say 'last year'. That deal was reportedly on the table at the trade deadline last year.
The pick is 1-3 protected (the pick NOLA is sending to Sac this year).
Whatever happened to the $200m deal?!?!
LOL ...

E'Twaun Moore is now the x-factor for the Pels.. Solid 3'n'd player.
