Vibe in Cousins camp is that it boils down to a communication issue in Sac that is expected to be addressed soon #Kings #NBA

As I said on Twitter, Ah the difference a day - and a Divac - can make.

Man, I really love this one:
"I hope the Lakers are not that stupid to do this deal, especially trading 2 star rookies for a aging cousins! Everybody knows, if we keep this core of youth, we are headed for another championship, Russell, Randle, Clarkson, Anthony brown and larry nance jr. will blossom into a championship core, all we need now is some top free agency players and we are on our way!!! These haters don't want to see that happen, that's why they are trying to break them up, hopefully, this is all media talk about trading these guys and it will all go away!!"
With that championship core, all they need now is "some top free agency players" and they are on their way. I am pretty sure that is true for every team in the league. If only we could sign Lebron, Lamarcus, and Wall, that "championship" core of JT, Reggie, Ray, Nik, and Ben would look a hell of a lot better.

I think the real irony is that we already have 2 of the 3 "top free agency" players we would need to make some noise. It is just the rest of our poo poo roster that can't hold up. That is why smart role players like DC and WCS are absolutely valuable. You need several of those types around your mega stars...
It's hilarious to me that Laker fans think that putting on a Laker jersey automatically gives them a +10 to all stats. Randle gets drafted. "SUPERSTAR!" Larry Nance Jr. gets drafted in the 2nd round? "ALL STAR!" Robert Upshaw doesn't even get drafted? "WHAT A STEAL!" Russell gets taken? "CP3 WHO?"
It's madness.
It's madness.
I am against trading Cousins period... but regardless I hate this propsed trade...
Russell is a high bust risk, maybe the riskiest in the top-10 together with Porzingis.
I never liked Randle as a prospect.
And all the other stuff they offered are kind of meh...
And I'm not trading with the Lakers, just don't do it...

Maybe. Maybe not. I don't trust him. He has been a mouthpiece before.
Of course, he's always been against Cousins, even going back to the draft where he trashed Demarcus before the Kings selected him. Nape is a G.O.B.. It could just be that at play.
I just don't like that he's teasing this at this time. Immediate bad vibes about it.

Not exact word for word. I will try to summarize.
He was going into the trade the Kings did. He then transitioned into "meanwhile, down south.." to talk about LaMarcus Aldridge and the Lakers trying to get another interview. He then said about last week that "it seems from various reports there were talks between the Kings and Lakers regarding a trade", which he then finally transitioned into the Lakers not getting LMA (duh) and that they really want a big man, so they might contact the Kings to offer Julius, Russel and a draft pick. (To improve upon the trade they offered before.) He then proposed a lineup of Russel, Matthews, Gay, Randle and WCS, and asked fans what they thought of that.
It was a weird step to take, considering there was plenty to fill with the Philly trade itself, and that the LMA talks are mostly between Spurs and Suns rather than Lakers.
