Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Would've been cool to see the kings trade cuz for Ben McLemore tho

 

[squarianaa]

I had it backwards, my bad

Kings declined that offer

That's more surprising

 

[nflowshoe]

I see Pop doing one of those unnecessary substitutions that he loves to do with his key stars late in important games and Cousins either not coming out the game or throwing a chair on the floor from the bench

 

[NickFolarin]

I had it backwards, my bad

Kings declined that offer

Nicholas outcha with the Chris Broussard sources

not a fan of the Nut Puncher?

 

[Bert.]

Kings probably leaked that to draw better offers out.

That's not even a legitimate offer though

I think the Brooklyn nets can beat that package and I think they have 1 or 2 players I know by name

 

[squarianaa]

If anything, I'd rather have has trade Koufos honestly. Dude can't even make wide open layups or jump hooks, like **** man really?

Buddy is a nut puncher?

 

[rck3sactown]

Kings asked for Hield & 2 first rounders

NOLA declined

the wording is weird

Sources: Pelicans offering their 2017 first-round pick, Buddy Hield and an additional first-round pick to the Kings for DeMarcus Cousins.

That looks more like a massage to me. I hope boogie is a good tipper

ISWYDT, Kings operate backwards tho so you're probably right 

Something to keep in mind: A GM recently told me teams will leak trade talks to upset the star who's involved (and increase chance of deal).

Rival execs do this so that the star they're pursuing loses trust in his team's front office and wants/demands out. https://t.co/FweOWaeqxq

Yes, it's called the Sacramento Kings Corollary. Do the opposite of what logically sounds right.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah, idk sounds weird. With Boogie making outward comments about retiring with Sacramento, I honestly doubt they want to trade him. idk seems like you keep your franchise player when he's saying he wants to stay

 

[nflowshoe]

they probably threw buddy in the Trade so Cousins won't get suspended for a locker room fight the first week he is with the team

Knock those teeth out, and you'll be cleaning for weeks

 

[antidope]

Well now we get to see this discussed on National TV. They will interview Boogie and AD at the same time during the game.

 

[nflowshoe]

NBA Allstar week ratings are so low right now they trying to create a buzz so people will tune in hoping to see Kerr put in a lineup with Davis and Cousins on the floor at the same time

 

[rck3sactown]

Agent+Vlade playing the long con to get Cousins' trade value up

(1 of 2) Agent Jarinn Akana tells @TheVertical: "We met w/ Vlade and ownership and they assured us and DeMarcus that he's not being traded."

(2 of 2): Akana: "As far as we're concerned, nothing has changed."
