DeMarcus Cousins hit the NBA trade rumors once again. Even if the new NBA season is about to begin five days from now, it seems like rumors to Cousins will be non-stop and a possible transfer is imminent. For the past few months, Cousins have linked to numerous trade rumors.
Being a high valued player in the market he attracts so much attention to teams who would like to acquire his services. Teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers have shown great interest in him. But up to this moment, none of those teams has struck a deal with the Kings to get Cousins.
But this time, two prominent teams and three notable players was added in the mix to make the trade rumor more interesting. According to The Inquisitr, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors also join as a possible suitor for Cousins as both teams would like to reinforce their lineup.
Why would the Warriors need Cousins? Many say that there's some doubt that the 'Fantastic Four' of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green will work. Some also say that there's a looming conflict between Durant and the Splash Bros. of Curry and Thompson. And this might open a possibility to trade away Thompson and Green for Cousins as per stated in the report.
As for the Cavs, a direct swap between Love and Cousins is also a good option. Love, just like Cousins, have been to numerous NBA trade rumors since the offseason began. But the Cavs would like to add a draft pick together with Cousins if ever they'll release Love to the Kings.
In a separate report by Parent Herald, both the Warriors and the Cavs are early favorites for the upcoming NBA season. Both teams are deemed to meet again in the NBA Finals. The question is, are both teams willing to trade their players to make room for Cousins?
The answer is maybe. If the combination of Curry, Thompson, Durant and Green becomes a flop then the Warriors might consider the trade proposal. Same goes to Cavs, if Love didn't impress the Cavs management this season , they may look back on this deal and reconsider it.
Are the Golden State Warriors willing to release Klay Thompson or Draymond Green for DeMarcus Cousins? Will the Cavs also make a move to acquire Boogie and send Kevin Love to the Kings?
