Gambo: Possible Cousins to suns

[Mainstreet]

Kings have not been seeking equal value in Cousins deal, source tells @TheVertical. Young talent, draft picks, expiring contracts primarily.


A boston guy just tweeted boston is not in discussions, they have most assets that fit the above description. So that seems like it could fit suns, sadly i fear mcdonough will give up too much as always

I heard rumors about the Pelicans earlier.

Maybe if the suns get a first rounder for Tucker they can parley it towards Cousins...

Hey it's something!

 

[Mainstreet]

Gambadora has been quiet. He likes to be first breaking a Suns trade.

I heard rumors about the Pelicans earlier.

I read that too...Plus later today I read about Chandler being shopped but nothing specific.

If it's not boston, who could it be with a better offer?

Lakers may not even have their pick this year. Pelicans pick may not be worth anything. Who else, denver is in playoffs pick, unless jokic is involved dont see it, and dont see denver doing that.

 

[hsandhu]

I just saw pelicans are trying, dont see what the hell they have, buddy hield plus a likely non lottery pick this year?

I'd keep Jokic over Cousins.

I don't think we can deal for Cousins right now because our current draft pick isn't finalized. The trade deadline will probably be more about dumping players if anything.

Earlier I read the Pelicans could offer multiple first round picks. Maybe they mortgage their future in alternate years?

Woj keeps tweeting how talks for trading cousins are heating up, I'm not on the fence anymore. I hope suns are not part of talks because I don't trust McDonough not to give up too much. He doesn't have any cred with making trades, hell give up our pick this year and bender or chriss. The pick as the center of the trade is the most I'll give.

I'd rather just stay the course with the rebuild.

I'd be throwing Bender and the pick for Cousins but they'd want more

The Suns could do it by offering multiple first round draft picks plus youth. I'm not enthused though.

 

[hsandhu]

Trying to look at this objectively, can anyone see a non Boston offer better than this. Let me know.

2017 pick
Len
Warren
Miami 2018 pick
Miami 2021 pick

That's most I'll go, no way on bender or chriss

I would have said Portland but they just traded for Nurkic.

The Kings are strongly considering New Orleans' trade offer of two first-round picks and Buddy Hield for DeMarcus Cousins, ESPN sources say

Are you freaking kidding me, suns offer, w/o bender or chriss, trumps that.

Booker is the only untouchable in my mind... Besides, if we got Cousins then we wouldn't need both bender and chris

Maybe the Suns do not want him. What about Detroit if not the Pelicans.

We might be giving up fultz, jackson, issac, tatum, a future all star with this pick.

If bender develops a knockdown shot these next couple years, he could be porzingis, I'm not giving up that too.

but if we got Cousins now our pick gets crushed..

 

[Finito]

I swear if someone gets Cousin for garbage and it's not the Suns im gonna lose it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Here is the driver if true.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 7m7 minutes ago


But DeMarcus Cousins' agent Jarinn Akana tells ESPN that Cousins is unlikely to sign a summer extension with any team that trades for him

 

[Finito]

If bender develops a knockdown shot these next couple years, he could be porzingis, I'm not giving up that too.

Porzingas is super inconsistent still. He's not really all that

 

[Mainstreet]

but if we got Cousins now our pick gets crushed..

If the Suns get Cousins that is their pick.

I'm not comfortable with it though.

I don't think the fans and McD are willing to wait more years if stars could be had.

And we don't need Fultz...We got Bled.

 

[hsandhu]

Here is the driver if true.

He just said this weekend wall and bledsoe are like family, and he's planning on signing with sacramento. He'll sign with suns, much better situation than sac, I'm not too worried about that.

But I agree Finito if new Orleans garbage offer gets it, that is ridiculous.

Yeah so why would they do that?
