Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
I loved watching DMC play for the Kings and am glad I got to see him play in the new arena before he was traded. He was an incredible player and always spoke so highly of the Sacramento community and wanting to make it his home for the rest of his life. Trading him away makes me pretty sad but trading him away for THAT is loving heart-breaking. Cousins was the first Kings jersey I had bought in years and might be the last for a while. A Cauley-Stein jersey would be sweet but I can't bring myself to spend money on the Kings for some time.

League insiders say the appointment was, for all intents and purposes, an edict of then-NBA commissioner David Stern (the listed address for the new Golden 1 Center is 500 "David J. Stern Walk"), though the league maintains that partnership agreements are drawn up by the ownership group itself. Sources say that Ranadive lobbied heavily for Stern's favor, citing his experience as a minority owner of the Warriors and touting an "NBA 3.0" platform that promised to transform the Kings into a global, digitally integrated force.

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
DeMarcus Cousins is 3 years and 4 months older than Buddy Hield.

Building for the future!

The Pels'll probably still still miss the playoffs but god help the West if they get a decent backcourt in the next little while. It doesn't even need a superstar, just dudes who can knock down triples with regularity. Holiday's already an adequate shooter, even adding somebody like JJ Reddick makes them scary offensively.

All we have to do is pretend the 23 year old #6 pick in a weak draft is actually a top 5 pick this year, and also that the ninth-worst team in the league isn't going to get any better after adding the best center in the league, and the trade's actually pretty good

Kings have been running Cousins promo stuff up through the all-star break. Something like 30% off all Cousins gear to "celebrate" his all-star appearance. But businessman 3.0 Vivek found a way to offload merchandise without tipping his hand

If Buddy Hield's a top 5 pick they could have traded a lot less to move up two spots last year to draft him.

In the pantheon of pro sports trades of the last 10 years, I haven't seen one this lopsided since the Tigers acquired Miguel Cabrera from the Marlins for some fungo bats and chewing gum.
