    A lot of people here know that Boogie is a great player, yet they think we shouldn't give anything for him because he's a nutjob\asshole\cancer to the team.

    Saying this for years
    Was discussing this with my friend who's a Warriors fan. He thinks Cousins could be OK as long as he's on a team where he isn't the best player. He thought with Lillard, Cousins might not be nearly the problem. I tend to agree with that, which is why I would be willing to move CJ to get him. I think Cousins might mesh better with Stotts than Karl, too.

    Mason, Vonleh and Harkless for Cousins.

    I fear Mason is getting in the way of Meyers developing a really good game at centre. With his outside shot he opens space for Cousins to work inside.

    In saying that there is no way that trade is enough for the Kings. And really we don't have anything they want so best to look elsewhere.

    We send two future 1sts to Sacramento. We keep CJ and Crabbe, Sacremento gets a great fit next to Rondo in Booker and more spacing in Meyers, a good pick n roll big in Plumlee and assets for the future. Pheonix gets rid of Chandlers contract.

    Lillard / McCollum
    McCollum / Crabbe
    Crabbe / Harkless
    Cousins / Aminu
    Chandler / Leuer

    The Kings could swap Boogie for Howard

    Boogie is very good player but a head case. Paul don't want no head cases on his team he went through that with jail blazer era. So Neil is properly sitting on his hands and Divac is to much in love with him. Karl wanted him out and almost cause him his job.

    Anything.

    The goal should be teaming up Dame/DMC.

    Edit*

    The goal should be to team up Dame/DMC/Plumlee

    Plumlee's ability to pass, especially from the high-post, he'd be a great fit next to DMC.

    What about CJ? DeMarcus has the same TS% as LaMarcus http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/statistics/_/sort/trueShootingPct/page/5 So even when you take DeMarcus high number of FTs per game into account, he's still the 219th out of 324 players in offensive efficiency.

    Under Karl he's taking so many jumpers and even drifting to the three.

    Boogie is prolly the most talented big in the league right now.
    However he's shown zero improvement from Kansas in teams of basketball knowledge.
    Shaq is a partial owner in the Kings... can't tell me he doesn't talk to the man.
    If you aren't going to listen to one of the best big men to ever play the game. You aren't going to listen to anyone.
    The Kings/Dubs game last night was a close game. Then Boogie blew his head when he got his 5th, getting ejected with 8minutes+ left in the 3rd.
    Dubs won by 19....

    Not a huge Nards fan but Nards has shown that he can keep his head when teams go at him.
    I mean the Cavs game he took three shots to the face/neck area and in the kings game he took a shot to the jaw.
    If those same plays happened to Boogie I don't believe he'd keep his cool.
    This is the same guy who was waiting for announcers in the parking lot after a game because they said something about him.
    Supremely talented, but a mental midget.

    TLDR I don't want him on a team I root for.

    Isn't that what Cousins has been asking for all along? He prefers to play PF. Doesn't really like to bang down low despite his size. Much like LMA. Has been asking for a shot blocker to play next to since he was a rookie.
