Ok, I know it would be expensive, and I know that he might not be on the market, and I know the price might not be right, but this is hypothetical, so bear with me.
We need a center. Our 4 centers are David Lee, mostly a power forward and not playing well or even at all, Kelly Olynyk, solid but seems to fit better as a PF, Jared Sullinger, seems to be made for a supporting role and also pretty small for a 5, and Zeller, who has played like trash this year. From my slim knowledge of Sacramento b-ball, I don't think Cousins is happy there. Any way we could get this deal done?
I was wondering something involving Bradley, Sullinger, and a ton of picks. We could give them a first or two, maybe a bunch of seconds since the way we're set up, we will have to waste a lot of the ones we have anyway. Sacramento would lose their best player by far, but Bradley would immediately start, Sullinger could either start at the 5 or be an elite backup to Gay, they would get a ton of picks(if I understand correctly they only have San Antonio's second rounder) that would range from mid 1st round to low second. Maybe they wouldn't get great players out of that, but they should get at least one starter and one role player.
We would obviously have a new franchise center. We could move Smart to SG and have a lineup of Thomas-Smart-Crowder-Olynyk-Cousins and a bench group of Turner/Rozier-Hunter-Turner-Johnson-Lee/Zeller. We wouldn't be as deep but with the amount of picks we could still shore up that with the Nets pick and maybe a remaining 2nd rounder or two that we have laying around
Just looking for thoughts. I'm pretty sure the Kings wouldn't take that offer, but I'm just wondering if it's close, if there is a way that trade could work, or just what your thoughts would be on Boogie in Celtic green
