I'm told DeMarcus Cousins (still) is not being traded, even as teams inquire about his availability. Nothing's changed

I do not think so. It means Woj was the first to report it, then Ham confirmed the story with his own source. I am not agreeing with them on it, or saying they are right, just saying there have been 1000 DMC trade rumors in the past and Ham never can confirm them enough to write a story. Maybe I have missed a story or two but do not recall them

7:46 pm: In an article published Sunday evening, Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical says that Vivek Ranadive‘s stance on trading DeMarcus Cousins has “softened”. Previously the owner wanted to retain Cousins as a franchise pillar and, as recently as January 26, wouldn’t even entertain the prospect of making a deal.
More recently, Wojnarowski writes, Ranadive has been influenced by off-court incidents that call to question the big man’s temperament.

Debatable. Davis is more efficient scorer (57.5% career TS) and comparable passer (0.9 assist to turnover) but Boogie makes more threes gets to the foul line more and sets up his teammates better. Davis blocks more shots. Its close. I'd choose Boogie over Davis because he has a wider offensive arsenal and will be more durable as their careers progress.
He did. And Boogie said he wants to be here. And Vlade said he would be here. And...
we/you have Vivek Ranadive as an owner. And so everything, EVERYTHING is eternally at risk because you can't trust him to hold his water. You hope he does, but when nonsense like this starts bouncing around, you can never 100% discount it because he's as flighty and ignorant as the Maloofs. You just can't know for sure until it doesn't happen.

Cousins is the only player not to have entered the game. Wouldn't be surprised if Cuz told Kerr he wanted to rest tonight

That of course, would only fuel trade rumors.

I think the Kings are looking for a young franchise player+ 1st round pick. Something like this:
Nuggets: Nikola Jokic+ 2017 1st rounder
Suns: Devin Booker+ 2017 1st rounder
Unfortunately, both of those players are untouchables. If we decide to trade Cousins, I don't think it'll be the end of the world... as long as it's not a deal with NO. They have nothing to offer us...

It'll be pretty hard to stick it out with this franchise if Vivek ships Cuz out.
Depends on what we get back of course, but considering it's a "Rent-a-Cuz", I seriously doubt any GM is going to give us anything worth jettisoning a HOF level talent who is also too loyal for his own good.
I still think we'll probably be breathing our usual sighs of relief when the deadline comes and goes and Cuz is still here....I trust Cuz when he says he wants to be here. I trust Vlade when he says he wants to keep him. But Vivek? All I can trust him to do is make turrible decisions.... so hopefully he let's our GM decide what to do.
