Just spoke with a very irritated Vlade Divac. Said he is not trading Cousins, and denies Karl pushing for any deal involving All-Star center
Vlade just playing it cool till he breaks Kings fans hearts and reveals himself as a Judas, shipping Cousins + 6th pick to the Lakers for their coveted 27th + 34th pick
 
rumors dont just come out of nowhere vlade. must think we're stupid. every rumor has a bit of truth in it.
 
Real talk is that girl that got hit still alive in that gif?

That looked vicious
THIS.

Pls Vlade, your glory days were in LA. Do us a solid.
 
Either way you shake it, that's George Karl...with 3 different teams....makings the finals and conference finals.

He's the one constant there.

A great coach may have adjusted, but the end result would have been the same. 96 Sonics maxed out, 01 Bucks maxed out, 09 Nuggets maxed out.
cassell and ray allen have made the finals and conference finals with three different teams making your statement incorrect
 
Building thru mid to late lottery picks is terrible man. You might strike a Gordon Hayward or Paul George. Most times you won't. You're either really bad...our your good in the NBA. 30-40 wins is purgatory.

What's the difference between what Memphis and Houston have been the last 5 or 6 years and what Denver was during Karl's tenure? Win a lot of games in the regular season. Get bounced in the first round. Catch a few matchup breaks and have a chance at a WCF?

You're telling me you won't take THAT success over taking mid to late lottery picks for a decade +?

A chance at a WCF? So basically spin your wheels in hopes of major injuries to other squads ? nah I'm cool on that false hope.

Again building through the draft also gives you the benefit of flexibility.

It's all opinion really you're gonna need a bit of luck either.
 
If Vlade saves Cousins from leaving i will forever forgive him for tipping to ball to Robert Horry

rockets send 18 to denver as well?
i rather have the lakers package. Good trade for Houston though.

kings keep their lottery pick + pick up lawson and faried who are more proven than clarkson and randle (also karl wants them)

denver keeps their lottery pick and gets cousins, cap relief, and the 18th pick
They're proven sure, but they're nothing better than above average to good players. While we don't know how good #2 and Randle can become. I much rather gamble on the latter's upside than knowing the ceiling for the former which isn't anything special. Plus I'll be taking back a bunch of salary in the former deal. If they can get Randle #2 and Clarkson while keeping their pick, it's the best trade available.

how does that get out into the wild then? multiple sources making it all up?

management prolly told karl to shut his trap from now on
