LG: Doesn't Cousins seem more interesting now that the Draft is over and Okafor is no longer an option?
Truth be told, I think he could force his way to a team (LAKERS) if he wanted to and even though we don't have the assets to make it happen, we do have the salary. The question is, would SAC be willing to take it on the chin to let him leave.
Could we sign and trade some players and send them to SAC so they have some trade Leverage and draft pics?
No matter what I don't think we should give up Clarkson or Randle to get him, but if we could involve a third team who might be over-stacked at the 5 spot, like Philly, we should be able to make a trade happen.
Something like:
Kings get Young & Noel (with picks)
Philly gets Hill & Lin (maybe cash or picks)
Lakers get Cousins
Does it work financially? Yes, the Lakers would have to S&T Lin, but a deal like that could work and works for all parties, Philly gets a good PG and a Solid Big off the bench, gives room for Okafor to grow and own the paint, Sac gets a defensive Big who can run the floor with WCS (Nobody is getting shots up with that blue nation), and Lakers get their YOUNG franchise Center to pair with Randle, Clarkson and Russell...
Russell/Clarkson/Kobe/Randle/Cousins
It's a Pipe, but anything is possible and Cousins does seem a lot more interesting now, since we don't have a legit Center... |

The Window to do Sign and Trades is closed until July.
Why would Philly want to do Sign and Trades with the Lakers as an intermediary when they will likely have the Cap Space to sign players directly? |

why Would Philly want to trade Noel for Lin and Hill?
With Russel I do not find Cousins necessary. That would be too many people fighting for touches. |

There is a lot of things wrong with your trade and against the CBA. It's been awhile since I've read it but you can't sign and trade a player as part of a multi-person trade. Lakers don't plan to bring Jordan Hill back since they have a team option.
Kings will not "take it on the chin" to trade Cousins to the Lakers when there are other options. It is also very unlikely that Kings would trade one of the best Centers in the league right now to a division rival, let alone the history between Kings and Lakers.
Honestly, I think there is almost no chance Cousins will be a Laker under realistic trade scenarios and team needs. Lakers will not give up 3 young players and/or take on additional salary. |
