This Deadspin piece is a good overview of exactly how bizarre the DeMarcus Cousins trade is for Sacramento. If you're a Kings fan, your star got traded for a not-great return, all because the management didn't want to hitch the team to a temperamental talent. They felt pressured because they had to make a decision on giving Cousins a big contract that would kick in under the new rules, and Boogie wanted that to get that big payday (which won't apply in New Orleans). And they're looking at their own draft picks heading to either Philadelphia (somewhere, Sam Hinkie is smiling) or Chicago (in the unlikely event that the Kings end up outside the top 10 picks). It's the start of a rebuild, but nobody wants yet another rebuild when it's been so bad for so long already. So... Kings fans, how bad are you feeling about this? (Deadspin)
