boogie finding his way to a good team has been one of my deepest-held sports wishes

It's a shame for you that he's gone to the Pelicans then.

Do we think Vivek just took whatever New Orleans offered because it meant he saved money on not having to charter a plane back to Sacramento for Boogie?

I guess if Embiid doesn't play enough minutes to qualify Buddy has a shot at ROY. In 100 years looking back if they traded for the 2017 ROY it won't seem that bad.

In thirty years people will look back at draft history and see that in 2010-11 Sacramento drafted Hassan Whiteside, DeMarcus Cousins and Isaiah Thomas and say "Hey, the Kings must have been really good back then!"

Hey Stauskas wasn't that great but at least they traded him for an unprotected first rounder and a pick swap.

Wait, that's what they gave up to get rid of him?

DeMarcus Cousins is 3 years and 4 months older than Buddy Hield.

Building for the future!

Steve shot the three ball as good if not better than Curry in a bunch of seasons

No.

Curry isn't even the best player on his team right now.

Eh... it's debatable.

Another wrinkle in the potential Lakers deal is that Cousin's agent is Dan Fegan who the Lakers really don't want to deal with again unless they absolutely have to.

Fegan is also Anthony Davis' agent which means either a) he will help convince Boogie to stay in Nola or b) he will now hold the Pelicans to ransom with both of his star clients demands.

They traded potentially their best player in franchise history for table scraps and he's crying over it because he doesn't want to leave.

Makes me want to become a Pelicans fan out of spite.

What do you consider 'franchise history' because Boogie is awesome and all but Oscar Robertson played for them when they were in Cincinnati.

It would be a fitting end to this debacle if they have to forfeit a draft pick due to tampering.
