Kings Trade Cousins to the Pelicans

[Game6Conley]

Fultz and Smith jr are praying for NOLA to win lottery to top 3.
Kings not so much.

Ball or Josh Jackson would be some kind of fit with the Pels too...

The fact that they think Hield is a great player would make me worried when it comes to their drafting in the lottery. Hield is a role player. They're really, really bad at drafting.

One reason im hopeful Hield will end up there for a while is I just presume they learned from their errors with the Stauskas pick..

Obviously I'd never have picked Buddy over Jamal Murray (or even Jakob Poeltl)

If they can sign a PG like lets say Jeff Teague and then land Michael Porter Jr in next years draft thats how you turn the team around before the 2020's...

Hield still has potential. He wasn't really allowed to play his game in NOLA. It will be fun watching him if Sacramento lets him play his game.

He is a role player. This is not surprising though, their brain trust were in love with Stauskas, Fredette, Robinson, Mclemore.

McLemore has been on fire in February tho.

Kings can't get #1 pick, since Sixers have swap rights. Fultz doesn't care at least.

Btw before naming Cousins + Davis the best frontcourt, I think Cousins needs to get his ego in check. Listening to the Lowe + Windhorst podcast right now and they're airing a little bit of dirty laundry on Cousins. Apparently threatened to fight Stauskas on a plane and rookie hazing went in a direction where restraining orders would be sanctioned in the real world.

Source familiar w/ Kings’ thinking: "Vivek thinks Buddy [Hield] has Steph Curry potential.” Am told that fixation was a key driver in deal

Hield was the #6 pick in the draft and was not being used right in Nola.

Too late. I already named them. No takebacks.

Will be interesting to follow though. If things don't get better in New Orleans quickly, DeMarcus will take blame for both Sacto and that.

This is interesting. Davis was frustrated with the lack of talent in New Orleans. Now Cousins is joining him. That will be one excitign front court.

taking bets on how many games it'll be before Cousins scowls at a teammate on court and the whining begins ..
