Maybe Vlade is doing some gamesmenship thing and grabbed two absolute poo poo offers that he'll show to Vivek just to get him to shut up and leave him alone...only Vivek will end up picking one of the joke offers

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Well take comfort Sacramento fans because if the Lakers aren't one of those teams Kupchak is going to get fired and their core and a future pick is going to be traded for Dwayne Wade and Melo and the team is going to be bad for 20 years until Jeanie Buss is finally driven to sell the team.

Cousins is going to get traded to Portland for a Meyers Leonard centric package. Cousins will then go supernova against him the next game and might possibly body slam him into a table

Cousins for Lillard - are you excited?

The one ray of sunshine in this is that Boston fans will be incredibly salty about this afterwards and Simmons will start referring to a Olynk + Nets first round pick as a godfather offer that shouldn't have been turned down

Yeah. I'm 100% worried that he's all-in on the "let's trade Cousins right now" bullshit which means he's looking at these offers as the the only choice he has.

Also :lol: that Vlade loving Divac is a glorified messenger boy

Dude even if the Celtics were involved, it's Danny Ainge. It would probably be some lowball rear end offer that Vivek would seriously contemplate

What teams are most likely to be in on this?

New Orleans, Phoenix, Orlando are the ones that immediately come to mind as eager to turn young assets into a competitive roster sooner rather than later. But if the Kings are desperate, I guess it could be a real wide spectrum

Phoenix and Philly are the only teams that have a good mix of young guys/assets that would be interesting. Or Portland for the Lillard option. The fact that they had serious conversations with loving New Orleans means we are looking at poo poo rear end garbage crap.
