Man, that's tough.Get it done Mitch, trade everything but the kitchen sink and J6ix
Rockets/Clips - not sure which team I hate more :x
we've been talking about getting assets and somehow making a harden esque trade if presented. who would it take for you guys to start entertaining that idea? (i'm not really sold on the idea of grabbing cousins if he's available but i think that trade is in line with the harden one)
Report: Kings not interested in trading DeMarcus Cousins

Despite the storied history of the Celtics franchise and the one owned by the Kings that is just as strong in a losing direction, the two teams find themselves in very similar situations.
While Boston indeed made the playoffs this season and the Kings were a far cry from doing so in the West, the Celtics finished the year six games under .500, and really aren’t any closer to contending for a title than Sacramento is.
The difference between the two teams is that the Kings have a legitimate All-Star player in DeMarcus Cousins, and while his attitude and demeanor have been somewhat horrific at times, his averages of 24.1 points 12.7 rebounds make him one of the games best big men from a talent perspective.
That explains the report that Boston would be interested in trading for Cousins. But at least at this point, the Kings have no desire to see their mercurial center play anywhere else.
From Bill Herenda of CSN Bay Area:
The Kings want to make a playoff run next season with DeMarcus Cousins as the centerpiece of the franchise, league sources told CSNCalifornia.com.
This was in response to a report earlier that the Celtics would dip into their vault of future first round draft picks and try to make a run at trading for Cousins this summer.
But just like Sacramento, Boston is not a place where All-Star caliber free agent talent willingly chooses to sign. The Celtics know this, and that’s why they’re doing the smart thing by trying to trade for an All-Star with multiple years left on his deal, someone they might be able to convince to re-up there by building a winning team around him.
The Kings hope to do exactly that, and even if they were potentially interested in dealing Cousins, they can drive the price up by putting it out there that they have zero interest in doing so.
I somewhat disagree.Remember the assets Houston gave to OKC were not great. Kevin Martin + Jeremy Lamb + a # 12 pick.
He knows as much as Jon Snow does.For those of us on Twitter: how much do you trust Arye Abraham? That kid seems to know **** really early.

Boogie and AD averaged the same pts per last season if I'm not mistaken. Same steals... AD shot better and got more blocks. Boogie grabbed more boards, got to the line more and dished out more assists per game.
Anthony Davis and Boogie are 1A/1B as far as big men in the league right now aint no way around it. Get it done Mitch, and J6ix not gonna have to go no where w/ Rondo hitting the market at bargain bin price.
After failing to agree on a contract extension with the Thunder, Harden was traded to the Houston Rockets, along with Daequan Cook, Cole Aldrich, and Lazar Hayward, for Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, two first round picks and a second round pick.
I also don't think you get the idea of trades being two sided. You keep saying Get it Done Mitch, when the Kings are not even willing to trade him.
for conversational purposes, this is what houston traded for harden:

taken from wikipedia. not sure what the protections on the picks were, though.
You don't know what is going on in the inner workings of the Sac Kings nor the Lakers. You're speculating like the rest of us. It's been well documented that Boogie is a headcase and even though they have control of him contractually, he and them may just be tired of each other. Whether we or the Celtics have enough to make it intriguing for the Kings to entertain the possibility won't be determined until after the draft lottery at the earliest, if we end up with a top 2 pick, it's in play.
