Only DeMarcus Cousins trade rumor thread

[Section 101]

Vivek is a basketball MORON. I don't think this statement is too harsh. Damien pointed out on KHTK just how damaging a statement like viveks is to buddy. Why would you say this? Why would you doom a player who isn't even on your team yet with a stupid comment like this?

Free reign for Buddy to put up 30 foot shots now.

 

[Kingsfan23]

This team is doomed.

Sounds like a clown Vivek comment, like Arnovitz' Westbrook add in

*crosses fingers Vlade is stepping down*

 

[The_Jamal]

Now it looks like Matt Barnes get waived. Good thing we let a good young player like Seth Curry walk for him right? right?? right?????

Ready for the Vlade crap-storm of try to cover this up.

Ready for the Vlade poopoo-storm of try to cover this up.

Who's going to be brave enough to listen to Grant's show today? I won't because I fear I'll harm something (not rly), but I want a recap on his hatchet job on DMC; and his absurd praise for both Vivek and Vlade. His interview with Vlade will surely be a treat. Vlade will be treated like the best GM in the world while he's speaking to Grant.

Anybody hear from Bricklayer? Maybe we should call the suicide prevention hotline or report a missing person??

The Kings’ uninspiring return package for Cousins, which lacked both a top prospect and a killer draft asset, elicited multiple rounds of open laughter from the remaining media members in New Orleans

Probably evaluating his Fandom as many of us are. You always have to remember that Pro Sports is a business.

 

[Kingsfan23]

I also wonder if Hieldss rising stars performance was the difference

 

[Big Cuz 15]

i' m concerned for sure. maybe he joined a pelicans forum as admin/moderator

[King Baller]

As for me I'm just going to move forward and make the best of it. I got the anger out of my system, life is too short to continue feeling bitter about something I have no control over.

When a current player who is very well respected like Richard Jefferson is saying no one will want to go to SAC, that screams big problems.

 

[The_Jamal]

Vlade had a better offer 2 days ago....

What.The.****

 

[The_Jamal]

More "culture change" blah, blah, blah.

Says we didn't wait till Thursday because offers would get worse. THEN DON'T FREAKING TRADE HIM

 

[peacelate]

Vlade is simply way out of his league. Clueless.

 

[The_Jamal]

"We'll see" regarding more trades.

 

[New Era]

I gotta say, this Vlade press conference doesn't give me more confidence in him. He actually just said that there was a better offer on the table a couple of days ago! WTF? He's in WAY over his head.

 

[The_Jamal]

Vlade taking full responsibility for the deal "Vivek trusts me to make the basketball decisions, so I made the trade"

 

[The_Jamal]

WOOOOW. I think I heard this right...

"When did Vivek come around to the idea of trading Boogie?"

"Vivek had no idea. He trusts me to make the basketball decisions"


What in the actual hell is going on???

 

[206Fan]

Vlade basically said that if the Kings didn't move Cousins now, his value would've tanked. He said there was a better offer on the table 2 days ago, but they weren't ready to pull the trigger on Cousins. Maybe they were waiting to see if there were better offers out there?

You know, if this is true, and this was the best offer on the table, I'm fine with the terrible trade. It's obvious that Vlade didn't see a future with Cousins on the team. He just ended up taking the best offer available..which was a sucky offer. I'm ok with it.

I think we just over-estimated Cousins' value a lot.

he doesn't sound confident

 

[peacelate]

he doesn't sound confident

And why should he. He's not GM material and he knows it.

 

[Merdiesel]

We had a better offer on the table just days prior... Vlade and Vivek panicked and New Orleans f'ing owned both of there a****. What a joke. Vlade is clueless.

No, Vlade got played. Did you hear him? He said he came into the All-Star break trying to trade Cousins. He wanted Cousins gone before the end of the All-Star weekend. Now all the GMs know this and kept giving him a worse offer. WE WERE SELLING AND THEY PLAYED US!

 

[Merdiesel]

You all know what's going to happen in the draft next year if we keep both picks...

They'll both be packaged to move up where we'll take some future bust who reminds Vivek of you guessed it.. Steph Curry.

 

[Big Cuz 15]

seriously doubting this guys skills now...

i think they were presented some deals for rudy gay too early on.
