It seems that the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings are headlining the recent NBA trade rumors nowadays. Same goes to their notable players, Klay Thompson and DeMarcus Cousins. And now, rumors are spreading that same interest are being discussed by both teams involving both players.
Thompson has been criticized for his erratic performance leading to the two losses of the Warriors. His shooting most especially in the three-point line is on a slump as of late and many believe that he is affected by Kevin Durant's inclusion to the team. His poor showing hints that the 'super team' they build will not work and it is right to trade him away.
As for Cousins, the NBA trade rumors are saying that he is not happy with the current situation of the team having lost four out of six games they played. Many believe if the team continue to struggle, Boogie may ask to be traded or he might opt out his contract and become a free agent in 2018. With this in mind, the Kings are considering to deal Cousins rather lose him for nothing.
According to YIBADA English, if the Sacramento Kings are decided to move Cousins, the best option to trade him is with the Golden State Warriors for Klay Thompson. Though the Warriors might think twice to give up Thompson because he's been a vital cog to the team success for the past years, a caliber player like Cousins is hard to pass up and he is one of the dominant centers in the league today.
The report also says that chemistry will not be a problem for Cousins if ever he will be moved to the Warriors, as he is already comfortable with Kevin Durant and Draymond Green brand of play. Cousins, Durant and Green together with Thompson are teammates in the US Basketball team who just won gold in the Rio Olympics.
The Christian Times also reported that it is in the best interest for the Kings to deal Cousins now while he is still a high-value asset. It is not a secret that Cousins and the Kings organization are not in good terms after the All-Star player express his disappointment with the team's failure to make it to the playoffs after six years being with them.
His frustration might end up to his decision to leave the team and the Kings might pull off the trigger to deal him away.
