Would you take DMC AND Gay if Sacramento blew it up?

I am torn, Boogie is a superstar, but i don't think he is a good fit. our team is built on players who work hard and have good attitude.   
Can you imagine Boogies reaction if Stevens decides to bench him?

No he's not! Superstars lead their teams over 29 wins he has never done that. Yes he puts up good stats and is talented but he does not make anyone better to this point. This board is obsessed with the jerk.

I agree there is a point you take a chance on him, I'm not sure what that is right now and I'm sure I would offer a lot less than most here.

Bigger question is how long are you saddled with Gay?

Oh wow.......well I predicted that soon as they hired Karl it would never work.  I said they d be done with each other by Mid season .

What is worse is Divoc "asking " the team players what to do about Karl......I'm speechless ......how ignorant and spineless , of a coward is Divoc ..if this is true. .....unbelievable .....unprofessionalism.

How can anyone operate without a structure of authority .  This situation is do screwed up ....my head hurts.

Yeah I don't really want Boogie, but I also do given his talent.

Ugh. Oh well odds are against such a trade coming together in the end.

We all know who will win out when it comes down to Karl v. Cousins.

Right but if Cousins wants out will he win that too?

Typically in the NBA they do in the end.

True & I'm sure the organization will find that out sometime after they can Karl and exhaust all other avenues of trying to appease Boogie.

The best part of this report is DMC asking: "Was I too hard on Karl?"

Owner is an absolute idiot.  They sound screwed as long as he's running the show.

He doesn't get it, does he?

The guy has been stranded in one of the worst organizations in sports for years. You'd be a little out of sorts, too -- no?

Yes I would take both players, but I'm not giving up much for Rudy Gay. I'm hesitant to give up our 2016 Brooklyn 1st. I'd rather offer SAC the better pick of the 2017 swap between us and Brooklyn; as well as the 2018 Brooklyn 1st.

Due to previous trades (picks owed to CHI & PHILLY), I think Sacramento has incentive to complete a trade for Cousins now:


1) Sacramento owes it's 2016 1st round pick to the Bulls if the pick is between selections 11-30. The Sixers have the right to swap 2016 1st round picks with the Kings (if the pick is between selections 1-10). Philly could swap if Sac ends up with a better lottery pick.

2) If Sac doesn't convey a pick to the Bulls this year, they will be obligated to in 2017 (if the pick fall between selections 11-30). Once again, Philly would have the right to swap picks with Sacramento.

Philly would have an incentive to be better than the Kings in 2017 so they could complete the swap!

3) The Kings traded their 2018 1st round pick to Philly (protected for selections 1-10). If the pick isn't conveyed in 2018--it becomes an UNPROTECTED 2019 1ST ROUND PICK.

If the Kings trade Cousins now, they could compete with Philly & Brooklyn for worst record in 2016, 2017, & 2018. By 2019, they'd have a team likely comprised of 3 lottery picks (of their own), plus whatever we send them in the Cousins trade.


Hopefully by then they'd at least have a Minnesota-esque team put together for the 2019 season, and be ready to surrender their 2019 1st round pick
