Well guys, it's done Cousins has been traded for buddy fricken Hield and a 1st round pick. Now we can truly suck for the next 5 years even though we made that truly terrible trade with Philly. I wanted to give vlade a chance but I'm done. What a Crack pot. This team is just constantly making dumb trade after dumb trade.

I'll be rooting hard for the Pelicans, Davis/Cousins will be one hell of a duo to watch. Now we get to see how damn good Cousins will be with some other good players and without a dysfunctional franchise

This is a decent return. Sacramento will keep their first round pick this year too. A good rebuild!

WCS era starts!

Horrible deal. Sorry, guys. Wish you the best of luck going forward.

Why even the rush? Its not like the trade deadline is tonight, get those rumors out..collect trade proposals till thursday. Im sure NOLA will still be happy to do this trade after 3 days..

Said it in a couple threads already that it's just sad, simply sad.

Much better packages out there and this is what we get done.

You can't blame the Kings for cashing out if they didn't think DMC would resign. They got decent value for this late in his contract. This will look a lot better later. Now it's time to get the kids on the court and see what they can do.

NOLA might have pulled the trigger on Okafor or Vucevik. I know this looks bad right now, but have faith. This is a great draft to have two picks.

Been a Kings fan since 1989, this one just ended my 28 year relationship. Vivek is worse than the Maloofs.

This is a good move....Clippers will lose either CP3 or Griffin without getting jack for them.

You'll have two top 5 picks this year...hopefully the V's won't screw it up.

OMG the pick has protections too

This is not cashing out. This is a 90% discount sale.

No way. The league has to veto this if that's the case.

This was straight up ROBBERY by the Pelicans. The Kings got absolutely SHAFTED if the main piece was Buddy f**** Hield.

They must have known that Cousins wouldn't be resigning. If that's the case, it was smart to move him now. I sympathize with you guys, but it may end up better for you. Cousins has a lot of baggage.

I've been following your board and team for a few years, because Cousins and Mclemore have been really intriguing and we've had trade interest in Boston. I've felt like a secondary Kings fan.

So many screw-ups, firing Malone was the first. Vivek needs to go.

And gotta say one more thing, even if it gets me banned for a few days- Cousins was never the villain, he's a problematic guy who got scapegoated for every organizational problem, which is really sh*tty- bad management and ownership, and they cover their own asses by piling on their best player. He could have been molded by a healthy organization into a mature guy, teammate, employee - instead they made him worse.

And Boston still had interest, for years, and could have given more for him - Bradley, Crowder, Smart, picks were all on the table at various times.

Instead you all insisted he wouldn't be traded, that any deal had to start with two Brooklyn picks, etc.

Hope you don't gag too much on all the sh*t and crow you have to eat now. #worthaban

Going to reserve my opinion for a moment and think about the other side of this. Cousins and Anthony Davis....That is going to be scary

Condolences... Your FO (and ownership) are absolutely inept. You guys have an incredible fanbase and deserve much better.

Whoa!....pretty close to being a "fire sale'?

Not a fan of Cousins.....But I feel bad for the King's fan base who I'm sure figures they should have got more for him....

But cheer up....You good folks will feel better about your team's development now that your problem child has left town....

Best of luck to all....

Vlade has to be done in Sac.... His credibility is shot, by no fault of his own, Vivek has to own it.
