Title: Cousins' Agent Meets With Petrie
Post by: rondohondo on January 07, 2013, 10:24:12 PM

DeMarcus Cousins' new agent Dan Fegan met with Sacramento Kings' general manager Geoff Petrie on Monday to discuss his client's future with the organization.

Cousins has had several incidents over the first part of the 12-13 NBA season and has been the subject of trade speculation.

Fegan did not request a trade for Cousins during the meeting.

The Kings continue to be adamant that Cousins won't be traded.

They didn't request a trade, but hopefully they were talking about possible destinations ;)

After watching Avery tonight, I might have to reconsider Rondo for cousins and Brooks hmmmm (Half kidding)

OKC should trade PJ3, Lamb, and Perk/Collison for him.

Sac shouldn't even consider that. 

not checking the $ but Sac should ask for Ibaka.  probably Cousins/Salmonsfor Ibaka/Perk

essentially -- I can't see OKC shipping out a vital frontcourt player to get Cousins

yup. Rondo was right about AB and that he would change things up for the team. What a little bulldog. In your face defense from the start to finish. I mean does he ever get tired?

right now , no point of trading Green, Lee or Bass unless they, themselves brought us DMC. Terry has his purposes but only for the last 5 min left in the 4th quarter.

I wonder if Cousin's didn't take yesterday rumor lightly and is ready to pack his bags to play for the Celtics.

Thunder don't have money to pay DMC after his current deal.  Wouldn't make sense for them to trade their Harden-haul for a year or two of Cousins when he's still developing into the player he's going to be.

Cousins wants to play for Boston and it takes Rondo (which I would hope Not) , but IF thats the deal... I'm signing the papers TODAY!!

Rumor on twitter is that the Kings are being sold.

http://www.thenewstribune.com/2013/01/09/2429127/sacramento-kings-official-denies.html

Rumor called "inaccurate" (note: not "false") by team spokesman.
Title: Re: Cousins' Agent Meets With Petrie
Post by: Chris on January 09, 2013, 01:32:51 PM
Just to throw it out there, the whole "didn't request a trade" thing means nothing.

That is EXACTLY what an agent is supposed to say, after he requested a trade.  If it gets public that he requested a trade, then it just kills the King's negotiation power to make a deal happen.  Essentially, the conversation would go like this:

Fegan: As you know, my client is not happy, and he would like to request that he be traded.  He would prefer to be traded to one of these teams, where we think he will be a good fit.

Petrie: We want to trade him too, but he is too valuable to not get a major return on, so Demarcus needs to help us out here.  He needs to keep up the good play, be a good citizen, and most importantly, keep his mouth shut about wanting out.  We will do our best to find a deal that gets him where he wants to go if he can play his part.

Fegan: Absolutely.

Then Fegan leaves the meeting, tells Amick that they are committed to making it work with Cousins staying in Sacramento, and Petrie gets back on the phone with Danny. 

...of course, if the team is really being sold, then I am sure any deal is on hold, so the new owner can weigh in on what to do with their best asset.

Yeah, I think the first rumor was that the team had been sold.  As in it was sign, sealed, and delivered.  Based on the wordings of all of the denials, it sounds like the deal may be in place, but it just isn't finalized yet.

OKC should trade PJ3, Lamb, and Perk/Collison for him.

C'mon man.  That's just an awful proposal.

How about Westbrook?  OKC has Maynor, an starter-quality PG picking up scrub minutes. 

Durant + Cousins would be a scary inside outside combo.

What if you add the 1st first round picks they have (theirs and Toronto's)?

You need a quality player back if you are trading Cousins.

If you trade them cousins for that then you are making them better even, so you're screwing yoruself on the OKC 1st rounder too.

Yeah I get that but the point is it's not enough.

If you knew both the firsts would be in the beginning of the draft then maybe I can understand the appeal.

Yeah you would think there are a ton of better deals to be had. And "lotto pick" sounds alot better than what it will actually grab, especially this year

You're down on Nerlens Noel or Shabazz? Then you got guys like Zeller, Plumblee, McLamore, Michael Carter-Williams..

I think there is a lot of talent next year.

While there is talent, there are no sure fire stars.  There are a lot of raw, high upside guys, who could end up being busts.  So, its not the best draft to be banking your future on.

Yeah I agree with Chris.

If you could tell me you could get me two of the players you mentioned Indeed I could understand the trade.  But as I said OKC's pick just wouldn't be in the range.

I'd still need another player in there though.

How do you think this whole seattle story will impact on cousins trade. Until now kings owners denied any demarcus move... But now new owners, new plan?
Title: Re: Cousins' Agent Meets With Petrie
Post by: CelticG1 on January 09, 2013, 04:11:35 PM
I don't even know how Cousins would be for Thunder.

They seem to lack veteran leadership up and down and sending out the one guy (perk) who has it wont help.

Just seems like a disaster waiting to happen with Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka and Cousins.

It would be a boatload of talent so maybe they would get by just on that

My guess would be that they'd be less likely to give up on him so soon.  His agent would probably have to really force it.

A package of Perk/Collison Lamb (#12 Pick) PJ3(#28) Torontos 1st rounder (Probably top 10) and Okcs first rounder for Cousins and Salmons is a deal Kings wouldnt pass up. Espically for the new ownership. That is the best deal ive seen offered.

I agree.  That is a nice haul.  Although I could see them prefer to get a veteran rather than adding to their rebuilding, but they can always bring in a third team with that kind of package.  But I don't think OKC ever considers giving that much up for a guy like Cousins.

In fact, I would be surprised they would give up much at all for Cousins.  They are not a team that needs to shake things up at the moment, and take a risk on a guy like that.

Not really, just send Perk/Colli, Lamb, PJ3, Toronto's nice 1st pick, an OKC first pick (2017 maybe) and a two 2nd rounders for Cousins and *garbage* fillers. Thats pretty realistic and if u think thats not enuff, compare this to what Magic got for Diwght... ::)
