I just don't see adding him gets us in the same class as Cavs or Warriors. Which is why I would not pursue. Would rather get Noel if the price is decently low enough so that we can keep our Nets picks.
You guys KEEP ACTING like giving up Cousins would cost the farm. How are you so sure? Trade rumors are trade rumors... If Cousins ends up re-signing, then oh well, but if he leaves, the Kings will literally be the laughingstock of the NBA. The longer he's here, the less trade value he has..
The problem is we would have to get rid of a lot of core players to sign him as a FA in 2018. So our only real option is to trade for him. The Kings (perhaps deluded) are going to be confident they can resign him all the way up to the point that he leaves so a trade package will always need to be enough to make them think twice
