NBA Season 2015/16

[Jay]

Very interesting that this is all starting to gain some momentum.  Now Adrian Wojnarowski has just written an article saying that George Karl is wanting to trade Cousins

Anything from Woj gets my attention, he's the #1 reporter - but I just can't see anyone putting together a good enough package for the most talented centre in the league, who is still young and on a good contract. Players like that barely ever get moved.

Yeh, Woj normally gets my attention too.

It would have to be some serious players come to the Kings to entertain a deal for Cousins and/or pick #6

What's DMC's contract like? Maybe they don't think he'll stay and want something decent back for him.

He's contracted until 2018 if I remember correctly. So really doesn't make any sense for them to move him unless he's forcing his way out - which he isn't.

His contract is a good one for the quality of player he is

~$40M over 3 years

Geez the more I've read the more it looks like DMC is gone!?!?  Karl wants him out and DMC wants out because of it.  Other rumour I've heard is Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried for DMC.  This wouldn't be a bad move if they can get a C elsewhere.  I'd be putting Rudy Gay up on the trade table too if I was Sac, maybe try and get Bledsoe and Plumlee from the suns?  Starting 5 with Lawson, Bledsoe, Manimal and Plumlee would be a damn exciting team to watch and is prob better than what they have now!

will give you love you give us DMC

all good i asumme

Minnesota have made Anthony Bennett available.

I'll start the bidding off at an empty coke can, and a mars bar.

[Toga]

Just remember you could trade in that Coke can for 10c in South Australia at the end of next year Jay...

i knew they had a fallout at the end of last year but this is just terrible for the Kings, DmC still has his best ahead of him and Karl has been a good people person in the past, why cant they nut it out ??? no matter what they swing the Kings wont get that sort of value in return. DmC has to be the problem here which doesnt bode well for whoever lands him.

From what I've heard the rift is inconsolable and DMC wants back with Malone, so Denver looks like a very possible landing place.

DMC to Boston plz.

[jvalles69]

DMC to Boston plz.

What are Boston's draft picks?  This could be a possibility.

[Jay]

DMC to Boston plz.

What are Boston's draft picks?  This could be a possibility.

Oh you really want to get into this? Here goes >:D

2015: Celtics' first round pick, Clippers first round pick
2016: Celtics' first round pick, Brooklyn first round pick, Dallas first round pick, Minnesota first round pick
2017: Celtics' first round pick, Right to swap first round picks with Brooklyn
2018: Celtics' first round pick, Brooklyn first round pick, Memphis first round pick

Granted, the Dallas, Minnesota and Memphis picks are protected in some fashion - but they're still pretty valuable. And the unprotected Brooklyn picks are like gold, with they showerty roster and cap situation 8)

[Andrew3737]

If DMC wants to come to boston, it shouldnt be a problem. its up to him.

[Jay]

Is it? He's still contracted for ages, it's more Sacremento finding the best possible deal for him you'd think. But you're right, if DMC demands to go somewhere, then that makes the situation easier. Good mates with Isaiah too, if I remember correctly.

They can have our pick this year, a couple of Brooklyn picks and Marcus Smart for all I care. Boogie in the Coach Stevens offense is sexy as flower.

Alabama doesnt have an NBA team so going home isnt really a draw card

[RiOtChEsS]

where do you think Porzingis should be drafted?
