So they traded a player who wanted to stay and lied to the player and to the media about wanting to trade him and then got a real lovely return

well at least new orleans will be fun

Maybe the goal was just to gently caress Cousins over, the compensation is a bonus.

By the way the Kings could have Boogie and Isaiah Thomas but instead they have Langston Galloway, Buddy Hield and Tyreke Evans

This there second time with Evans which is what makes this magical

He was very mean once.

You can't come back from that.

Buddy Hield will lead the Kings to many successful seasons.

Is a morale victory considered successful.

Like I know Vivek signed off on the deal, but this was the best that Vlade could negotiate? Dejan please talk to me about how they negotiate in the Baalkans

If you are a nation state then you never ever back down or admit you may be wrong.

But Sacramento only wanted young guys to take back in return. Andre Drummond was too old so you can't build around him. Those four months of youth that Buddy has over Andre makes the difference

Also only three years younger than Cousins apparently.

Did the Kings even advertise Boogie was available is my ask.

Probably, most just assumed they couldn't afford the price, they underestimated the kings

I listened to three Cousins Trade podcasts today because I'm highly entertained by this all.

I already posted about the Simmons one.

The Lowe podcast and the Woj podcast both largely said the same thing, with different sources. Maybe, in fact, nearly every team in the league thinks Cousins is impossible to deal with after all.

The Lowe podcast is a lot of Windhorst trying to take credit for predicting this per usual, and then Lowe gets really angry at the Kings and then they start talking about their fantasy GMing of the NBA and it gets laughable like it does every time Windhorst and Lowe talk.

Woj's podcast is one of his hit pieces in verbal form on the Kings, and basically his guest saying the same thing Windhorst said, that most GMs around the league would make take a risk on him on the cheap but weren't going to put assets at risk and that the Kings in fact might have in fact got the best possible deal. It then hilariously swerves near the end, without it having anything to do with anything they were talking about Woj chimes in to basically say "YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW, THE AGENTS, GOD BLESS 'EM, THEY ARE JUST DOING THEIR JOBS, AND THEY'RE DOIN' THEM WELL." God, this guy.

This is so weird as we have literally no evidence this is actually a thing.

So unless Cousins propaganda game is on point then most GMs are hilariously dumb.

I don't put very much stock in either Windhorst or Woj say. I mean for all we know this is just trying to put a spin for failing to stop their client from ending up in the smallest market in the league while losing like 30 million dollars. "Well geeze Boogie we tried but . . . all the GMs in the league are stupid!!!"

If anything Cousins, who seems to be a great guy off the court (I still have a problem with some of his behavior on the court), lack of PR is why the "wow this guy sucks" narrative seems to have taken hold.

If I had to guess it's that most GMs get their info from the Kings organization, and their years of poo poo talking him thoroughly poisoned the well.

Which is just funny.

At this point I am surprised Cousins didn't get bundled with a pick.

I can only assume he thinks Buddy has potential that will come out with the right coaching.

Why he thinks his organization is the ones capable of that I have no idea.
