I wouldn't mind Josh Hart in the late first round. But maybe that's just me hoping for a 3 and D prospect no thanks to Anthony Brown.

The Kings really do love Hield, so I wouldn't get worked up about them not valuing D'Lo over him or not.

Typical and not surprised.
Sometimes I feel there is only one player on this team with how much his name is thrown around...

Gonna be huge for bran gram's confidence to know that despite the struggles his team flatly refused to trade him for one of the best players in the league.

Or it could be added pressure. I think BI will be a great player, I bet CHI thought Deng would be great too when they refused to trade him for Kobe. That's why sometimes it's so tempting to go with the proven player rather than hope your projects fulfill their potential

It was enough to keep him rather than let him go for the best player in the league in his prime

Fake news. Kobe had a no trade clause and wouldn't play for the bulls without Deng there. Plus Deng was in the league for 4 years at that point and had just signed an extension, there was no delusion about his potential

My guy is just completely off on that whole situation. Chicago did not reject a trade for Kobe because of loul deng

Alternative Facts.
Deng completed 3 years in the league. The trade talk was Summer 2007.
But you're right, the no-trade clause complicated things. I thought it was widely reported the Lakers wanted Deng in any deal and that was a deal breaker from Chicago's perspective.
My initial point is that banking on young potential can backfire because they're unknowns. I personally think BI will be great, but Cousins is a known.

I was off on the year. But to your point this non move is going to be more like the Bynum/melo trade that never happened

a known headcase who is due a huge payday in 2018
not saying the lakers wont try to meet with him
but like its been said, why give up assets when you can TRY to sign the guy in a year (especially with those said assets who have presumably developed )

believe me, I don't want Cousins here. I've said it before, his on-court antics are not something I want my young kids watching. He pouts and yells at refs, teammates, coaches. He does crazy stuff like that tackle on Julius or throwing his mouth guard.
Glad we didn't get him. But we really need one, maybe two, of our young core players to become elite and it seems BI is at least one of those players FO is banking on.

What's ridiculous is many don't see what you say. I agree with you on this. The stupid part is when people from the outside calling the FO idiots and a crap organization for not making this happen. I'm happy this didn't happen.

Magic has the brain of a 6 year old. If you weren't convinced by his tweets I don't know what to tell you.
