NBA Trade Rumors: Lakers To Take In DeMarcus Cousins And Kings To Have D’Angelo Russell And Julius Randle In A Spectacular Deal!

NBA trade rumors are ablaze with a possible trade that could happen soon. A possible blockbuster trade deal between the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings is the latest topic in the NBA trade rumors. The rumor involves the superstar center DeMarcus Cousins.

The Los Angeles Lakers as well as the Sacramento Kings are not expected to make the NBA Playoffs next year. The teams are pretty much underrated as of now. A possible trade between the two teams would pave way for them to rebuild their rosters and set up a strong team for the future.

There are reports which suggest that DeMarcus Cousins has always been a top target for the Los Angeles Lakers. At the same time, it gets tougher for them to acquire him as the Kings have declared Cousins as an untouchable player in their roster. However, things are bound to change when we consider the volatility of Cousins and also the rapport that he has with the team. The players seems to have a discord with the franchise, reported Sportsrageous.

Los Angeles might not be DeMarcus' top pick team. This might not be the place where he can chase a title. But the team can provide him with immense opportunities to build his image appropriately. It is reported that if Cousins come over to Lakers, there is a chance that he might take over as the face of the franchise, reported YIBADA.

This NBA trade rumor makes a lot of sense as both the Lakers and Kings are both in rebuilding mode. However, Cousins will get the kind of exposure that he needs when he plays for a big city team like Lakers. After Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, DeMarcus Cousins might become the next face of the franchise. Also, Cousins had spent almost his entire NBA career in Kings. This change might act as a launchpad to further enhance his career.

The above said NBA trade rumor is well within the framework of NBA trade rules. As far as the Kings are considered, they can do away with the whole Cousins episode and probably rebuild their team by getting the young guys Russell and Randle to continue their rebuilding. At the same time, Lakers can benefit in Cousins joins hands with Brandon Ingram, Luol Deng and Jordan Clarkson.

This sensible NBA trade rumor might not take wings during this offseason. However, there are chances that the deal will be discussed before the trade deadline in February if the teams do not perform well.
