    Given that we just traded for Nurkic, would you still be open to trading for Cousins if we didn't give up CJ and Dame?

    New Orleans has very few trade assets, so if Sacremento discussed a Cousins trade with them then it could mean we'd have a chance at trading assets outside of McLillard for Cousins.

    Of course, Sacramento's ownership has no idea what they want to do, and everything hinges on their ownership.

    I'd trade Dame and our 3 firsts for Cousins.

    But Olshey would never do that.

    Vlade came out and told Cousins and his agent that they were not going to trade him.

    Either the Kings are big dummies in the way they are handling Cousins future with the team (Definite possibility)

    Or he is not going anywhere in a trade.

    I wouldn't want to trade Dame, I just think that CJ has a higher ceiling and pg is the most easy to replace position in the NBA.

    There's no way TO get him without giving up one of the two. The rest of our team has little value.

    I am confused by this trade talk and really confused as to why New Orleans could land these stars with these offers

    Crabbe plus our 3 1st rounders and cash for PG? I'd make that pitch.

    Shit, with Cousins, Nurk and CJ you could bring back Steve Blake and Andre Miller to take turns at pg.

    Oh, come on. I'm sure Olshey could finagle a way for us to get Felton next summer.

    If those are the options, why would you not just convert CJ into a PG and start Crabbe or Turner at SG?

    Was just going to say that I think in that hypothetical situation CJ would slide to PG and we would find a replacement at the 2. You're not going to find a PG to replace Lillard, therefor you slide McCollum over, and it becomes easier to find whatever you need in a SG.

    No thanks. I'm already in a relationship with Nurkic.

    Paul George and Jimmy Butler look pretty hot though. If we could get a fourth first rounder for someone like Aminu/Harkless, I would offer up pretty much all of them for either one.

    Just because you got lucky on the first date doesn't mean he's going to be a great wife.
