Not holding my breath on either trade actually happening.
The Cousins trade seems far fetched for a lot of reasons. But bottom line is I just don't want him on the team.
The Young/ Williams for Rudy Gay is interesting.
Just a thought but a Deng/Gay SF combo and a Clarkson / Ingram SG rotation could be effective IMO. |

Quote: |
The report added that Los Angeles Lakers will also send their first round-draft pick next year to Sacramento Kings.
|
please explain how that first round pick is available to be traded. |
If it falls 1-3 it's ours. Can't we trade it with the contingency? |
First off, no. You can't trade a pick you don't have, and the Lakers do not currently have one.
Second, if they do keep the pick, you really want to trade it for Rudy Freaking Gay?? |
To make things even more interesting:
We can send the 1st round pick to Sacramento and tell them to give us WCS, that is if we could actually give them a 1st round pick. |
Tell them to give us WCS?
Even if this trade scenario was plausible, how does Mitch have the leverage to tell them to give us WCS? |
Cause they get rid of Gay and on the plus side if we are eligible to add a pick to the deal, why wouldn't Mitch tell them to give up one of there quality pieces? It's Mitch who has leverage here... Not Sacramento. |

There were two trade scenarios that were recently mentioned in this discussion thread:

Reports have it that Kings center DeMarcus Cousins and Nuggets small forward Wilson Chandler will join Los Angeles Lakers. Meanwhile, Lakers' power forward Julius Randle, shooting guard Lou Williams and Nick Young, and point guard Jose Calderon will still be a team but this time, all will play for Kings.
The report added that Los Angeles Lakers will also send their first round-draft pick next year to Sacramento Kings. As for the Nuggets, they will receive Kings' small forward Rudy Gay and Lakers' second-round draft choice. |
The second one has the quote that I extracted and was posting against.

You should regroup and decide if you are going to post about the rumor targeting Cousins or the rumor targeting Rudy Gay. |

This. I was referring to the cousins rumor. Would never trade first for gay...I wouldn't even do the Williams trade for gay. |

Williams is actually a better offensive player then Gay, but one thing that Gay would bring to this team is good defense and elite athleticism. either way it doesn't matter cause we aren't gonna deal with a arch nemesis and I don't think the Lakers are gonna shuffle anyone right now until Dec when some players will be eligible to be traded. |

I could see Gay traded here for Nick Young and Williams, but I don't see them trading Cousins - is Cousins like an unrestricted free agent and he doesn't want to stay with the Kings? I mean it would have to be something big like that for Sacramento to let him go.
Heck, if that big trade went down I'd even be willing to vote for Hillary........Sheesh. _________________ LAKERS 2019-2020: NBA World Champions! |

I'd think the Kings are going to ask for a hell of a lot more than Randle as the best piece. They wanted everything last go around. Cousins has shown even more and is yet another year more matured.
I'd move Young and Lou for Gay. It'd give some really interesting versatility.
Mozgov/Yi/Black
Randle/Nance
Deng/Gay
Ingram/Clarkson/Martin
Russell/Calderson/Huertes
Zu and Brown to D'League
*Could probably add a Kevin Martin to the end of that rotation as veteran insurance.
Nice defense and length in the first unit with good size scoring and spacing in the second unit and plenty of exciting options in between.
Not a deep a threat but I think you get more out of each position. |

Ingram is 6'-10"....I just said that out loud and wow, yeah that would be amazing if he could play SG! I'm also really stoned if that matters. |

Rumor has it, Rudy Gay to Lakers for Williams+Young. |
YES PLEASE!
Usually I wouldn't want Gay but for a useless bad locker room player and a guard who both makes a team worse with his USG%, chucking away terrible shots and zero defense, I would take this deal in a heartbeat.

Am I wrong or is this not even possible? I thought we still owed our next two 1st rounders to PHI and ORL. |

Jason Thompson just agreed to a 1 year deal for 1.5M with Shandong. Nick Young should be able to get atleast 2M, which would be big if we were to buy him out and offset his salary by whatever new salary he gets. _________________ "He's a Zen master, so he can speak to you, and he doesn't need a microphone; you can hear him in your head, 'Ron, don't shoot, don't shoot.'

It's quite interesting that the Lakers didn't do the buy out when they had the chance. They may think he's gonna be a good fit under Luke and want to showcase him during preseason, or maybe there is a deal agreed upon sending Young elsewhere and its on hold right now, I see no reason why the Lakers would keep him right now especially considering we have AB and Lou. |

I would like to see how Young does with a respected coach, he's been coached by a few terrible coaches and despite being productive under MDA he's never had a chance to make Impact cause the coaching and roster was piss-poor. |
