Kings - Heat trade (Cousins)

Hoops23 · Post #1 » by **Hoops23** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 1:06 am

first of, I'm not here to take offense on this board but to see or check the the honest opinions and/or consensus of Kings fans.

Heat received Cousin & Collison

Kings received Whiteside, Dragic, McRoberts & Udrih.

why for the Kings?
This helps their issue with Karl and Cousins while getting one of the top shot blocker and rebounder in the NBA in Whiteside. Gives a depth at PG whom they can also use together that fits the coach run and gun approach.

for Miami?
They like to make a run with KD next summer and it is impossible to sign Whiteside, Wade and KD with their cap space. The trade resolves the issued but sacrifices their PG position. Knowing the Heat wants to dumped contract to ease their tax burden.

THOUGHTS?

If it were Cousins or Karl type of situation -- Karl gets shipped out of Sacramento 100 times out of 100 before the Kings letting Cousins go.

But I'll bite:

Who will be the Kings primary option on offense? Rudy? Hell no. Dragic? I don't like that either.

All of the sudden WCS & Koufos gets (unnecessarily) dropped even further in the depth charts due to Whiteside (& maybe McRoberts if he regains Cha form) presence.

Thanks but no thanks.

I've heard a lot of Cousin's character... Do you think if you get a new coach, they will not clash like with coach Karl?

Add in every first round pick until 2020 and we have a deal

A lot of the non Kings fans are misinformed about what is really going on in Sacramento it seems

Kings have made is abundantly clear they will choose Cousins over Karl

If it even gets to that point

All these characters issues will magically turn into "passion" and "intensity" when they start winning a lot

He's not going anywhere anytime soon. Not while he's dropping 30 point games and whooping opposing centers nightly

Well with Whiteside due for a big pay raise I don't see how the Kings would be able to do that after taking back Dragic. Bad trade for the Kings. Besides I'd rather roll with Rondo and Collison anyways.

What's funny is next season Whiteside probably makes more than Boogie

No for Kings. (Whiteside can just walk at the end of the season and sign with any other team. You know that, don't you?)
No for Heat. (We gave up two first round picks for Dragic. What are you doing?)

Sorry for the interruption Kings Fans. All apologies. Have a good game!

Just an awful offer for Cousins. Whiteside will be an UFA and there's pretty much zero chance he'd want to stay with an unstable organization who were dumb enough to let him go for nothing a few years back.

Rondo and Dragic are a terrible fitting backcourt. They're both ball dominant, putting them together pretty much makes Dragic a spot up shooter.

The only bright side of this deal is it ensures the Kings keep their first round pick this season.

In the long run this deal is basically Dragic for Cousins and there's no way you can rationalize that for the Kings.

I think we have our verdict.
