I think it's time to hit up the Kings, and if not now, then at the deadline.
Cousins and Gay
for
Brown, Rozier, Amir, Jerbeko, Young, and BKN 2018
It's a boatload of cap freedom, and two top 3 picks, plus young talent in Rozier, and "talent" (ie salary filler to make the trade work) in Young.
You guys are complaining about our draft? Look at the mess the Kings just made. We are playing with house money anyway. The trade of the decade. PP/KG were not going to bring us another ring. DA made the right move, and we wouldn't even be able to consider half the options we hash out on this blog, if it weren't for that stroke of genius.
The other option to this trade would be to offer the ultimate king's ransom for Cousins and send Sacramento BKN 2017 (which we will likely have to do some kind of 2017 draft day "trade"), but in other words, they end up with top 3-5 picks two years in a row.....on top of the likely two top 3-5 picks they will have from sucking so hard.
They just chernoblyed their whole nucleus with that horrible trade. Cousins will scream his way out, and we are for sure one of the only teams to be able to offer a legit haul.
