Re: Yahoo report on Cousins/Lakers, Kings' management message unchanged: not interested in moving him, focus of Thursday is on draft. But...

...there's always a threshold here. If that Kings' ransom gets big enough, you never know. I'm still skeptical they'd do this in division.

I’m told the theoretic deal (2, Randle, Clarkson, etc) presented by Yahoo! for a DeMarcus Cousins trade isn’t of interest to the Kings.

[rck3sactown]

well thats reassuring... lets hope Karl or Vivek doesn't have final say

Continue to hear that Divac has no intention of trading @boogiecousins. Someone will have to back up the truck to get him out of Sac.

I can't remember for the life of me which mod it is...... don't think he's active now tho

There's no reason for cousins camp to not like Karl though. Egos have to be put aside here, Karl is a proven coach not a nobody. They have to hire Karl whether or not Cousins camp is aboard. We're not going to get a better coach.

Karl booted one of DMC's agents from assistant coach to scout in Denver. That's the squabble. Grudge that needs fixing.

But really, unless all you guys want is making it to the first round every year and nothing more, Karl isn't worth the time investment. 4 years, 4 one and dones. What would that benefit the team? I would keep searching for an up and comer, even college if need be. Karl is a retread with 25 years experience, and like 21 first round exits. Why spend a half decade getting the same result each year?

^ Pretty much my sentiment when the Karl hysteria was happening. Yes, he has the ability to win games, but he can't win the big ones. Sonics 1st round exit in 1995, Team USA bronze in 2004. Denver Nuggets underachievers.

 

[rck3sactown]

 
Team USA bronze in 2004. 

it was actually Team USA 6th place finish in the 2002 World Championship (now the World Cup) 

 

Vlade Divac in a text when asked if the Kings are planning to trade DeMarcus Cousins: "Nope."

[crcballer55]

So if Vlade is on message with saying he's off the block, did PDA steal someone's phone before he skipped town and is the one leaking the rumors?

 

[rck3sactown]

well just because a player is off the block, doens't mean teams have to not make trade offers.

plus there is this, so it seems like this is mostly on the Lakers

Sense I get on Lakers pursuit of Boogie is same it's been last two weeks..they continue to pursue hard but it'll take a ton to get him

Man I can't keep up with all this nonsense

 

[nelson999]

Considering the Lakers are in the media linked to every damn Free Agent available, it's quite possible all of this is just nonsense coming from LA.

Or we're asterisked.  

Probably the latter

 

[crcballer55]

And why would the Kings trade the best center in the league to their arch rivals of all the teams in the league?

I think this one is obsurd enough that we can easily put it to rest. Vlade isn't going to bluff this hard as his first major act as GM of his former team, and especially not with the Lakers who have nobody even remotely close to the caliber of player Boogie is.

 

[tsamshox]

#2/#6/Randle/Clarkson for Boogie/JT/Trash?? Fire GK and hire Thibbs?

Reporters in LA say Boogie wants to be a Laker, reporters in Sac say Boogie wants to stay. Guess we will find out in less than 24 hrs what's really going on.

One random guy who is said to be "familiar with Boogie's thinking" whatever the hell that means, said he wants to be a Laker.

I think years of Cousins saying he loves Sacramento outweighs that

Now i certainly wouldn't doubt that Dan Fegan wants him in a bigger market
