As much as it pains me to deal Ibaka, especially after last nights show he put on. I accept this deal. Why? I get the young big man the Thunder desperately need. Not to mention, i still have Perkins. So, Cousins will be moving to PF, and Perkins will remain the center for the OKC Thunder. I also get a very underrated Terrence Williams in this deal. I think both teams win this deal, I get my big man to make my team elite, and he gets a young PF and picks to go with it so he can rebuild.

I accept.

I know some people are going to call me crazy again on this deal, but I really like it. Not only do I get two draft picks I think will be good moving forward, particularly New Orlean's next year, but I also get get the "Big Fundamental", as I was telling Spurs fans last night , in Serge Ibaka. Ibaka showed last night he has untapped potential at 22 years old, but even if he doesn't improve he is a better Ben Wallace with a jump shot. I've never seen a guy that can block shots like him, and that will keep the fans energized during the rebuilding process. He also allows Brooks, Thornton, and Williams to shoot the ball more, as he usually just plays defense and rebounds. Both those picks could be very good, even Toronto's; as I am not 100% sold Toronto is a contender. This trade also influenced my decision to make the other trade with Brooklyn, as I am now a rebuilding team and possess 10 picks (6 in the 1st and 4 in the 2nd) over the next three years.

I know some people really like Cousins, but I think this was a very good deal that will help the Kings improve moving forward. Those picks give me value, and I really really like Ibaka. Nice trading with OKC and hopefully Cousins will give you the post presence you need. Best of luck to you on your playoff run!

This is not a bad deal at all I think. I can only wonder if Thunder got better or worse after the 3 big moves he made.

[Walt Frazier]

Cousins probably has a bigger potential than Ibaka, and Terrence is a pretty nice player, thus the picks aren't too crazy for this deal.

I really think this makes sense to the Thunder, Ibaka/Perkins, currently, are kinda both more Centers...Cousins has a face-up game and likes to play away from the basket.

It will be interesting to see how this one works out.

I accept.

[JJ Savage]

My teams better now. Elite big men never come around, cousins is a scoring big man with tons of potential.

I wasn't directing that at you, but way to be defense!

I think OKC needs to trade Perkins and probably DeRozan for a PF, his pick and role defense is going to be crap, but each to their own I guess.

[Isiah Thomas]

I Accept

[Andrei Kirilenko]

Accept, although trading that Hornets 1st is going to come back to bite OKC

[JJ Savage]

Well see. My teams young, I don't expect mediocre play

[Walt Frazier]

It's not your pick, it is NOH's...doesn't matter how your team does.

[Aubrey Graham]

I accept

[JJ Savage]

I understand who's pick it is. I'm not stupid. My teams young, were gonna win now. Not to mention, we're young as it is. All you haters will just wait and see how good the thunder will become

[Walt Frazier]

Sorry man, sure looked like you were responding to Indy saying that trading NOH's 1st would bite you in the ass when you said "we'll see, my team's young, I don't expect mediocre play."

Sorry for the misunderstanding, no one called you stupid.

[JJ Savage]

I know, it's all good man. I'm just sayin. When I'm
In a win now situation, you take the skill over the future picks. Cousins is only 22 and has a lot of growing to do. I think the deal will help my team greatly.

[JJ Savage]

So is this trade accepted?

[Ian Noble]

Wow, okay. I accept this deal also. I kinda like it because I can see a deal like this happening in real life... somehow.

Trade passed.

[Ian Noble]

Sacramento need to release a player for this deal to go through.

[JJ Savage]

Ian, I apologize if I sounded like a jerk asking if this was accepted, didn't mean to come off that way if I did. I was just curious. My apologies

[Deleted]

Done

I see no hater in this thread, lol. Maybe, all these moves work out for your team but it is not like you are fixing a broken house. In real life, Thunder's potential is limitless. I think it is healthy to wonder if Williams, DeRozan and Cousins it is better than Westbrook, Harden and Ibaka. Sure, Cousins is better stats-wise than Ibaka but Cousins play for a losing team and Ibaka is a glue player perfect for a winning team (awesome defensive role player with good shooting %s).

Hehe no probs mate, I only "wow'd" because I think the trade is quite high profile with Ibaka and Cousins etc.

[Ian Noble]

Trade passed.
