for a while I didn't really think he'd be traded, but it is getting bad over there. Maybe when you are a young guy you can take a few bad years if it means his team is on the rise, but this is going to be the 5th horrible year in a row for them, and this is there "best" season with 28 wins, and there's really no end in sight. You can't point to players on the team around Cousins, and say, "Yeah I can see them being a 50 win team in the west to get into the playoffs in a couple years", and would you want to spend 8 years in the league before you even are on a .500 win club? I'd be upset if I was Cousins at this point.

First off, what coach wouldn't say something similar? There are only 3 untouchable guys in this league; any coach who says "no one on my team is available" is lying their ass off.

Second, there's a big difference between "no one's untradeable" and "unload at 50 cents on the dollar". If you're the Kings would you listen to offers for Boogie or would you hang up the phone the minute his name is mentioned?

Third, I see you ignored my main point here: Cousins' tweet was 2 days BEFORE Karl's comments. If he was shaking his head at something in the business it sure as hell wasn't Karl's comments unless he invented a time machine.

I think 99 out of 100 people would rather have Davis. You are the 1 that wouldn't. Cousins is not the best big in the L, and Davis is even younger. He's up there, though.



Wtf has Cousins done ? Besides be in the lottery each year. It could be management but the guy is good enough to at least peak at the playoffs. They have Rudy Gay, Carl Landry, Darren Collison.

Anthony Davis is by far the better player and teammate because he plays team ball and isn't selfish. Cousins is a very selfish player who IMO will find a way out of Sacremento and into a big matey where his big ego deserves.


Cousins might be the most skilled big aside Davis but there are guys like Gasol, Aldridge, and Drummond who I'd much rather build around.


Most fans need to stop with this nonsense. People like you who just claimed cousins should win more because of guys like Carl freaking Landry are the worst.

Love at Davis's next 5-7 best players compared to cousins. Then throw in the dysfunctional front office and coaching situatioôn.

No: tyreke Evans, jrue holiday, eric Gordon, Omer asik, Ryan Anderson, Quincy pondexter, Noris cole

Sac: Rudy gay, darren collison,Ben maclemore, jason Thompson, omri casspi, andre miller, ray mccallum


Are you trying to say NO has a better supporting cast or......

Yes. Gay is arguably the better number 2 but 3 through 7 is heavily in favor of Davis, especially when you consider the way it supports him. Cousins is a dominant big which you would normally surround with shooters and defenders. Collison wasn't a bad fit but they didn't get much of a chance to play together.

If the Celtics got our pick from the Suns then yes they do. Don't really care though. When healthy our roster is already full of guys we like.

Cousins is a baby, but some of the trade offers on here are seriously.......(they need more smiley face options, I can't find the one I need).

In all honesty the Orlando deal I've read on here seems to have the most value

Truthfully, he might look pretty good next to Gobert. Don't think the Jazz would trade Favors though...mmm. It's the attitude issue.

Favors + Hood + future pick?

I think that's fair, but not sure the Jazz would do it, tbh.

Woah calm down! Hope your talking about the expiring contract of Ben Gordon

I would much rather Oladipo, Vucevic ,#5 for Cousins.

Air Gordons gonna be a Stud.

not saying that I'd do that Oladipo trade (A little of a Overpay)

You're joking, right? The Jazz would personally send their private plane ASAP to Sacramento for Cousins if the Kings took that deal. Which they would never do. Ever.

Not joking. What kind of deal do you realistically think you're going to get? If Sacramento wants to trade Cousins, they'll see if they can finagle Towns or Okafor in the draft, they'll make calls on Blake Griffin, and I'd bet they'll make a call for Favors.

I'd love for Indy to somehow steal Cousins to pair next to Paul George for the next decade.

*Insert 2K trade for favorite team*

This is probably the best offer they can get.

A lot of Magic fans want to give up the kitchen sink for Boogie, but I'm not so sure. I feel like if we have a couple years with a decent coach and we still suck, then yeah, you need to make moves.

But as of right now I don't think we need to mortgage our future for one player, as much as I love Boogie.

You obviously have no idea of the love we Jazz-men hold for Favors. ;) Value aside, how would we couple Cousins with Gobert? I find it much more likely that Sacramento would ask for Gobert and something else.
