Although the Sacramento Kings have recently come out and suggested that a DeMarcus Cousins trade is not going to happen, it appears former ESPN scribe Chris Sheridan of Sheridan Hoops is hearing otherwise.
The Nuggets recently hired former Sacramento Kings head coach Michael Malone and general manager Pete D’Alessandro, and it appears they could have eyes on a DeMarcus Cousins trade.
Even crazier? According to Sheridan Hoops, the Kings and Nuggets have spoken about a DeMarcus Cousins trade.
With the recent hire of coach Mike Malone and GM Pete D’Alessandro in Denver, I’m hearing from sources that the Nuggets and Sacramento Kings have engaged in talks centered around draft picks and DeMarcus Cousins. While I would be surprised to see the Kings move Cousins, the possibility of adding Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried is awfully tempting. I also hear if that deal is not consummated, the Nuggets are looking to deal the seventh pick. The same can be said for the Kings at No. 6 if Mudiay is not there, but it is certainly possible he falls into their lap.
The said report needs to be taken with a grain of salt considering the source, but might the Kings be loosening their grip on a potential DeMarcus Cousins trade as the NBA Draft and offseason nears?
