If, BIG IF, Sac is really interested in trading him.
I wouldn't say no to a trade to LA if I were them, but its going to cost more than just that second round pick, that's for damn sure.
Asking price should be their second pick, Randle, and an unprotected pick.
It's true, Orlando could offer an enticing offer, but I'm not sure if I'm Sac I'm wanting to take back any contracts. And from the sounds of it with Rudy Gay, they're not looking to take on money.
I rather draft a big man with the second pick, have him on a rookie contract, get another promising one in Randle on rookie contract, and an unprotected draft pick, that's likely a lottery one, that could be a number one.
Steep price? Yeah, it is. Would the Lakers be willing to bend that far? Depends how desperate they are to get a star there. I think they might.
But we set the bar last summer, when we traded the number one pick, previous number one pick (okay he stunk, but still), and another first round pick for a guy on his last year contract, that's not a center, with a team that supposedly had no leverage.
Sac is going to ask for a shit load for Cousins, and they'll probably get it too.
I don't think they should trade him, but what's going on in Sac is very interesting. If they were ever to trade him, now would be the time, just at a value standpoint.
It's possible Cousins is going to just walk anyways, given how bad it sounds in Sac.
Obviously George or Cousins has to go.
Well, first of all, the management isn't asking for anything. They aren't going to trade him no matter the offer, I think.
Second, it's George Karl wanting the trade and it surely isn't to dump salary. He's wanting to trade Cousins in hopes he can get back players to win. My guess is that supposed Lakers offer that's been tossed around doesn't do shit all for Karl, and why would it?
Third, there haven't been indications at all that they aren't looking to take on money. The whole thing about Rudy Gay being on the market was to open cap space to sign Rondo. And they aren't doing that, btw, if they're trading Cousins. The entire purpose of that move is to help Cousins.
