Why the Kings are interested in a four-year college player with limited upside who has shown little ability to do the thing he is supposedly elite at is beyond me, but hey.

While this offer is 2004 Vince Carter levels of poo poo sandwich, I've been thinking of who would have made a better trade partner. We have to assume that Boston was just straight out on Cousins, so who else had the assets and/or wanted to abort their rebuild to get a guy who may or may not re-sign? Phoenix: Maybe, but you'd have to give up what little young talent you have and picks, which means you're Desert Sacramento and not going anywhere. Lakers: Guess they like their (questionable) core and don't want to give it up to be a little bit less bad and leave the cupboard bare. Houston: No young talent with upside. Dallas: Rebuilding, no assets. Philly: Don't need a big man. Minnesota: See Philly. Portland: Guess they didn't want to give up CJ or Lillard. Aside from that, there are really no teams with the stuff to make a deal work. Frighteningly, this may have been the best offer out there. (That said, not getting more than one first makes this one for the ages.)

So the trade clearly isn't officially consummated yet - is there any chance the Kings could see the total trashing they're getting and get cold feet? Normally I'd say handshake deals are solid, but it is The Kings, After All

Sac fans, is there ANY sense of "relief" or anything? Like, yes, this is a truly terrible trade but finally, FINALLY, the Kings can attempt to move on and get out of the 9-11th seed morass.

You honestly couldn't have gotten a second rounder for Matt Barnes?

I was joking earlier but...maybe the Kings should hire Hinkie?

Maybe Isaiah Thomas just told Boston brass he didn't want to play with Cousins again?

Interesting! I vaguely remember some mild passive-aggressive shots one way or the other when Thomas left but maybe that was overblown.
