Chisoxfn Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Unbelievable of the report out there that practically the same offer that got Cousins was what was going to get Pelicans Okafor. Absurd. Buddy Hield was the only additional item added and in the grand scheme of things, while he was the 6th overall pick, that differential for a player like Cousins (vs. Okafor) is just absurd.

Steve9347 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 The Nuggets got more 1st round picks for Timofey Mozgov than the Kings got for DeMarcus Cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I am just completely mystified. The Kings got their arena and then f***ed the fans. It's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I question that report honestly. They may have had a 1st round offered but I'd imagine the protections were much more restrictive. That was a great trade for Cousins, but would have been a pretty awful trade for Okafur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously this means that they'll be dealing us Andrew Wiggins, Kris Dunn, and some picks for Jimmy. One can dream. Wiggins has gone meta the past month since LaVine went down.

SoxAce Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Crazy to think the 2012 Sacramento Kings had a young Whiteside, Thomas and Cousins and seeing what they turned into today. In my man J4L's word, could've had the NBA "shook" had they stayed together.(obviously not their choice in that) Oh, and that same year, OKC had a young Harden, Durant and Westbrook too.

Kyyle23 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 i understand people wanting to trade Jimmy for picks, but I just dont want that. This front office doesnt deserve it, i dont want to see them f*** all of this up. I would rather they sit on their hands and the team crash spectacularly into the ground and miss the playoffs again, with a 1/4 filled UC with booing fans at the end of the season. I dont want Garpax "fixing" this team. I dont want them settling for a s***ty deal with Boston where they dont get that Nets pick, i dont want them making any high picks in the draft, i dont want them doing anything anymore. f*** them.

Jose Abreu Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 At this point, it's more likely that Boston lands Paul George by the deadline than Butler. The Bulls and Celtics are farther apart on this than people seem to be reporting. Chicago is not intrigued at all by Boston's latest offer. Unless they have a major change of heart, or another team comes out of left field, Butler will remain a Bull for the rest of the season at least.

Unless the Celtics back up the f***ing truck, I see no reason to be Jimmy-less. IF only our f***ing front office could get creative. There's no excuse as to why Cousins is on the Pelicans today without reports of a substantial, declined offer fromt eh Bulls. Also, had the Bulls had any brains in their heads, we'd have already guranteed the Kings first rounder this year and have a suddenly warm Ben McLemore on our roster for Pau Gasol from last year. Two pieces that could be dangled or used. But McLemore hits threes; who needs that? #firegarpax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was incredibly lazy and useless at that time and no other NBA team picked him up when he was released. He had to go overseas to play before the Heat gave him a shot a couple years later. The Kings deciding not to match a $7 mil per year deal for Thomas was completely asinine though. Just a terrible franchise.
