Lakers Reportedly Pursuing Cousins in Trade

[CameronCrazy06]

Maybe I'm reading too far into this, but does anyone think that the Kings may have elected to not draft Mudiay knowing they'd be getting Russell in this trade?

I think it's more possible they drafted WCS because Boogie really wanted to play alongside him and they wanted to make him happy.

If I were the Kings I think I'd consider firing Karl and then trading Cousins for Russel, Randle, future picks and just start over.

The Lakers unprotected first next year would actually be a good pick if they could manage to get that included, because that Lakers team with Cousins is just as bad as this Kings one.

Not uncommon. Jahlil didn't work out for the 76ers
