There were objectively better deals available for the Kings, but since they think so highly of Buddy Hield, that's the direction they went.

What I've been saying. Vlade loves Buddy. The Kings did not see this as a bad deal or "just getting rid of Cousins".
 
Congrats Sacramento. You somehow out idioted a flat earth truther.

Kyrie is thanking his alien buddies that he isn't the dumbest MFer in the NBA.

a backcourt rookie that cant even average double digit points on a team with Anthony Davis getting all the opponents' attention in the paint?

The Kings are somehow more of a mess than previously thought lol
 
This trade puts New Orleans as a frontrunner for the 8 seed in the in the West. Perhaps they'll even give Golden State a run for their money.

Kinda sucks tho I wanted to see the Nuggets play them.

Yeah they'd get swept, but there would be like 0 defense played at all and it would be supremely entertaining.
 
It was only like a week ago when Buddy tried to end Cousins by trying to destroy his testicles. Maybe Buddy is a time traveler who saw this deal happening and tried to stop it.

Look.. can someone explain to me, no bullshit, why this deal was pushed forward by the Kings?

The FO/Ownership probably felt DMC wasn't worth the supermax they were poised to sign him too+felt he was too much of a poisonous teammate and they loved Buddy Hield. So that's the return they sought. That's the trade in a nutshell from their perspective. Now mind you, they are an absolutely horrible team, with a highly questionable GM, so take their evaluations for what they're worth.

Source w/reasons Pels got Boogie: Cs (too focussed on getting Butler), Orl (could've had him, balked) & Phx (Sac didn't want BKnight).

Didn't want Knight, wanted Hield instead.

So many L's.

Vlade doesn't know how to be a GM, he's in love with Heild over other offers like Drummond and Vucevic plus he got picks and talent in Evans which was also requested, owner didn't want to give Cousins the Super Max.

It's hard to jump inside the mind of a moron but let's say you have been seeing this super talented dude who's been a headache for the last 4 years and now there's a looming possibility for you to get handcuffed to him in a year or so with a 200mill contract.
And then you see a loaded 2017 draft and an offer to get a guy you absolutely love in buddy and now you're just like fuck it, this guy is a headache and we can't deal. Let's do it

I honestly believe vlade thinks buddy is a star in the future and boogie has def been a burden behind the scenes

That said, this trade is idiotic as fuck and a lot of boogies shenanigans stem from the organization being hot garbage

Thanks for your explanation. What's so good about Buddy? I know nothing about him

And Buddy's one of those guys who's way better in college than he'll ever be in the pros. Okay shooter but not a great athlete and undersized for his position. He's what, a slightly better Jodie Meeks? You can get those guys for cheap. He'll never be that great and now he's gonna have the pressure of having to be the guy who got traded for Boogie. Talk about undue pressure.
