Best Demarcus trades.
I guess nobody sees him staying in Sacramento, and only a few teams have the assets to make a trade with the kings without totally stripping their team to nothing.
Suns
2017 first rounder (top 10 likely)
Future 1st round pick (either miamis or their own)
Dragan Bender
Brandon Knight
Bender and Chriss both play power forward, while I think they could make an interested front court, getting cousins makes this a great playoff team.
Bledsoe
Booker
Warren
Chriss
Boogie
Celtics
2017 Brooklyn (top 10)
2018 Brooklyn (top 10)
Kelly Olynik
Jaylen Brown
Marcus Smart
Thomas
Bradley
Crowder
Horford
Boogie
The celtics have so many options who they could trade. But this is way more favorable in my eyes then the suns trade with the two Brooklyn picks.
I don't think their are any other teams that can beat those offers, prove me wrong!

I don't think Cousins has much value.
He's playing great, but he can't bring his team into the playoffs.
He's 26 years old and he's playing for a big contract. So he should go to a team that's in a win now modus and that doesn't need to strip their own team to get him. So their are many teams that can make an offer
Why should he go to Phoenix? To play with his friend Bledsoe? That team can make the playoffs, but they can't beat the Warriors, clippers, spurs or OKC. So they're playing for a second round exit.
So if i where the Suns, I would only offer the Miami picks and B Knight
Boston has the assets, but they still need another player if they want to beat Cleveland. So they should only offer one Nets pick.
2018 Nets pick+ Smart+ J Brown would be a great return for Sacramento.
Personally, i think Portland could get in the mix. They can offer McCollum. They like him, but they also have Crabbe, Aminu and Turner, so he's expendable. They're in a win now mode and they need do do something. The tandem Cousins-Lillard could be great.
Another team that's in a win now mode is Toronto. Not sure they have enough assets. They can't offer a star, but they have some draft picks.
They could make a trade around T Ross+ Poetl+ Powell+ 1rnd pick Clippers+ 1rnd pick Tor 17/ 19/ 21
Chicago would be a good destination for him. Not sure they have enough assets too, but they could return the sacramento pick. They need a third team that would take Mirotic and Portis.
Washington could offer Porter, Beal and a draft pick. I would like to see D Cousins and J Wall playing together.
Milwaukee has some good assets to.
Beasly+ Middleton+ 1rnd pick 17 and 19 would be a good offer fo sacramento
The Lakers could also do an offer. They should keep their young players and rebuilt. But they like stars. So they could make a deal involving Russell or Ingram.
Minny could make an offer. The tandem Cousins/ KAT would be unstopable.
Z Lavine+ Dunn+ Pekovic+ 2017 1rnd pick.

I would do Ballhog's Kings-Celtics trade, but would ask that Casspi be included in the deal. Sacramento probably would agree to that, because he wants out anyway.
Three rotation players plus two high lottery picks for Boogie and Casspi seems fair.

There has been a lot of debate over if Portland would trade McCollum for cousins among blazers fans Gusapo. I think the kings wouldn't be smart to consider that, McCollum could be a top 10 scorer if given the keys to a team. But I don't think I'd trade a 20 ppg scorer locked in for 5+ years for a guy who has a year left on his deal and could bolt, especially since it wouldn't just be those two straight up.

The kings would be smart*.

@ BMiller
good point, but the duo Lillard/ McCollum can't beat S Curry/ K Thompson
I like the Combo Cousins/ Lillard. They can become the next S Kemp/ G Payton or K Malone/ J Stocton
I believe Cousins would stay in Portland
there 're only a few good big men available the next two years and D Cousins is en upgrade over McCollum, who's also 25 years. so i would take that gamble.
6.) 06 Dec 2016 19:22:31
Honestly, I just don't like cousins. He's too much like someone else Portland had: Rasheed Wallace. Neither are winners, neither are leaders. I don't love the 50/ 50 gamble of either:
1. Lillard and cousins are a great duo. They lead Portland to a conference finals
2. Cousins proves he's a cancer. He gets stotts fired (who I'm a huge fan of) . He guts the team (as it takes McCollum and harkless and plumlee to get him probably) . Then he bolts. Portland instantly becomes a bottom 5 team.
Maybe it's the fear I have from the jailblazers era, but guys like cousins scare me more than inferior players.

Whoever wants to be golden state, needs a player like cousins.

NBA finals matchup Cavs v Warriors
Huge matchup problems when the warriors play small with Durant and Green on the floor. I think the cavs need another perimeter wing who can rebound play defense and make 3s.
PJ tucker fills the role with an expiring contract from the suns
2017 cle 1st rounder to the suns.
1.) 06 Dec 2016 14:39:47
Can't do this unless it's on draft day. Already traded the 2018 first round so we can't trade the pick till that very day.
2.) 06 Dec 2016 19:17:47
They could just trade Tucker and warriors 2nd rd pick for rights to Cedi Osman.
14 Dec 2016 22:47:31
i think this trade makes all 3 teams worse lol.
08 Dec 2016 01:00:03
who is jv?
06 Dec 2016 21:18:32
thats a pretty wild trade, has something like that ever happened in the nba?

The suns already have a backup guard in Ulis, they don't need Payne. They would probably not trade Warren because he's the only SF on the team.
