No they didn't. The 2 situations are not even close.
Kings Trade Cousins to the Pelicans
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date

A bigtime player under threat to leave and the team spinning in a rut? How is that not the same, even if the deal wasn't?
You think a different GM could have done much better if they were told they had to get a deal done for Cousins? And I dont mean trading him earlier, I mean having to deal Cousins this week. It's clear no one really wanted to give up much for a guy with his on-court issues. Oh yeah, and the guy hasnt even made the playoffs.

This really just sums up that whole franchise right now, and it explains why they got such a bad deal.
People are saying they will benefit from losing cousins, but it's really the other way around. Completely incompetent owner and it just snowballs from there.
Both sides should benefit. The stupid thing was not getting a done deal earlier. They probably could have gotten a slightly better deal done today, but they liked Hield I guess. I still think he has some potential if he can get his swagger back.

It's because he wouldn't commit to re-signing, and that really limited his value. Also reports the King's had better deals available and took the Pels because they think Buddy Heild is going to be a superstar.
Sorry, but that fits right in with the way that franchise has been run since Ranadive bought them. Completely incompetent and just clueless with every move they make. Cousins doesn't deserve the blame he is getting. He should have forced his way out of that dumpster fire TBCH. If anything, I'd give him props for trying to stick it out there.
We'll just wait and see how things play out from here. I'll bet cousin has a ton more success and the Kings continue to be the joke of the league. Nightmare of an owner.
Also, I think Vivek is clearly an owner that runs completely off of emotion and isnt someone who can pick a plan and have confidence to stick with w/e plan it is. That has to make being a GM for him extremely tough, especially when you dont have a lot of experience.
Vivek thinks he knows basketball. That's the whole problem.
Yeah, I heard those reports. I just doubt how much better. Hopefully some potential deals come out. I just hope Hield develops into a good starter for them and Cousins/Davis works out long-term.

I don't believe this for a minute. Ranadive has got to be the worst owner in the league and continues to shoot himself in the foot by being too involved in decisions like this. Bad move after bad move and suddenly he won't be an idiot anymore after cousins leaves?
Not buying it.
