Sources: Sacramento has told at least one team it's been eliminated from consideration on a Cousins deal because Kings have better offer.

Other teams with interest in a Cousins deal are no longer getting calls returned from Kings management tonight, sources tell @TheVertical.

If they've stopped taking calls from other teams because they said they have a good offer, it certainly sounds like he is going. Also people are pointing out he's only played 2 minutes tonight so it may be the Kings requested he not play because they are trading him.
Or one team was eliminated and they are just calling it a night and tomorrow they resume trade talks with the other teams.
Or they have a deal they like and are waiting to announce it after the game (not sure the NBA would like a deal to be disclosed during the game) or they evaluating a package they like more than others.
Per Chris Mannix:
"Kings have not been seeking equal value in Cousins deal, source tells @TheVertical. Young talent, draft picks, expiring contracts primarily."

Or he got traded to the Lakers for Nick Young and the girl with the big butt.

According to text from league exec, Celtics have NOT been one of the teams trying to get DeMarcus Cousins today.

Maybe they see him redundant to Horford. Or we've entered that phase where 90% of the information isn't true.
I really hope that isn't true. I can't imagine what Danny Ainge could think would be better use of the assets.

Sources: Divac delivered to owner Sunday what front office believes are two best Cousins trade proposals. Of course, @Vivek has final say.

If there is a deal for Cousins made by the Celtics, what do people predict it would look like?
Jonas, Amir, Nets 1st in 2017 and then what? More picks? Jaylen? Marcus?

Woj's last tweet pretty much confirms his source is either Vlade or Vivek no? Maybe Peja? That is some leak.
I agree. That is what I think is my first choice. I really like this Celts team.
I meant if he was determined to cash in the chips, I think Cousins fits the bill.
I don't understand the people who say "I like this team". Thats all well and good but this current team is not going to win shit without a superstar.
I agree, but for the fact there's a legit superteam in the NBA for the next 2 seasons. Most other years, I'd be flipping those assets quickly.
They ain't winning shit with Boogie this year either. But the assets might win a few in 3-5 years.
That pretty much sums up my feeling, but if trader Danny must make a move, I just hope it isn't Butler as he helps the team the least (I mean Brown should be a poor man's Butler at some point is the hope right?)
Boogie helps them get better for the future as well. They aren't trading ALL of their assets to get him either.
I think there is the real possibility that the hope is to keep the 2017 pick, sign Hayward in the offseason, and use 2018 pick + Bradley for a complementing power forward and bench depth.
Not sure I agree with that, but perhaps there really is something to the "Stevens not wanting Cousins".

Well I guess. I don't know how the Celts don't top that offer unless they don't want Boogie.
And if they don't think Boogie is worth it, I really hope they don't make any major moves (unless Paul George is the target).
Avery Bradley + 2018 BRK pick beats that offer from NO. Buddy Hield is garbage, and the picks are late lottery at best.
2 of your max contracts going to Hayward and Horford is so fucking awful, I seriously hope that is not the plan.
Gordon Hayward is a really fucking good basketball player. It definitely isn't an easy choice, if the options are 1) trade Brown + 2017 BRK pick +?? for Cousins, or 2) sign Hayward and keep Brown + 2017 pick

Sources: Kings, Lakers discussed parameters on Cousins deal in past 48 hours, but Sacramento ended talks in late afternoon. Pels are focus.

Kings wanted Brandon Ingram in a trade package for Cousins, but Lakers refused to include him, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Jrue Holiday is a decent player too. Just hope to sign someone in FA and sign bench depth. The hard part is acquiring the superstar.
