I wouldn't trade Rose for Cousins you crazy. Boogie is desired but not worth the headache. Plus you have to pay him a max, after prying him away with assets.
If the Lakers are truly offering a #2 than Kings be crazy not to pair Okafor with Karl. Offensive dream.

There is a better chance of George Karl being fired before he ever coaches a game for them than there is of the Kings trading Cousins.
Head case or not, you keep a guy with that kind of talent. I love Karl's mind and passion for the game, but you need to adjust to your star player at a certain point. Don't just give up automatically. That is a terrible way of doing business or coaching in this league.
Yeah, Boogie is a head case. But that guy is one of the 10-20 best players in basketball. This time, the Kings owner is right... and that guy is off his walker most of the time.

I highly disagree with this. Randolph is a major reason why the grizz are as good as they are. he is 10x the worker that cousins is and he actually plays a lil bit of defense unlike cousins. and Randolph is a much better passer. the only thing they have in common is they are 20/10 guys

This is a mature Zbo though. Back in the day, you could say Zbo was a team cancer.

fair enough, but all the more reason to not compare a player in his early 20's to a player in his 30's :shrug:

Demarcus Cousins is a monster but we have no way of getting him. Now they're saying Karl wants to trade him to the Nuggets for Lawson and Faried. He sure seems to have a hard on for Lawson.

Jimmy is restricted. If he decides to leave chicago, he decides where the bulls can trade him. I doubt he would want to go to the kings.

Why would you trade for a guy that's been a headcase in a losing situation in order to blow it up? Doesn't make sense. Is he all of a sudden going to be less of a headcase moving from a losing Kings team to a blownup Bulls that would also be losing?

LOL- Hoiberg hasn't coached a game yet, but he'd be why Cousins wouldn't fit here.

I'd flip every asset we have at getting Cousins.
Jo, Niko, Dougie, Snell, #22 and giving the Kings their pick back is what I'd throw at Sacramento while taking back Thompson....but they'd easily turn that down.
However, don't underestimate Niko's Montenegro connection with Vlade. George Karl doesn't believe in draft picks/young players and always wants to win now---maybe he believes Jo can provide him that? The young pieces in this deal could get Sac's front office to buy into Karl, but I doubt it.
This would be a major reach to get Cousins, but it would probably be the best the Bulls could do.

It's pie in the sky to think he's even going to get traded... let alone to Chicago.

Rose isn't a headcase?
