How do you improve the team? At best maybe one of those years you'll sneak into an 8th seed but the Kings dont have the assets to drastically improve the team
Let's be honest a trade is probably best for both sides. Let Cousins get a fresh start somewhere and the Kings can start to rebuild with picks with a upcoming loaded draft.
If the Kings keep Cousins how can they bring him any help to drastically improve the roster?
Kings barely have any assets...
