Kings could have traded for Harden...

For those wondering if the Kings had any chance of getting in on James Harden in a trade, there was a chance ... if the Kings were willing to part with Cousins.

Good no-trade!

Psshhhh........ **** that!!!

They gotta throw in Kevin Durant... lol

[KingsPhillies]

They could've had Jimmer and Salmons for Harden...but Cousins? Hell mother****ing NO!

I'd take Cousins over Harden.

[Kings Analyst]

Really glad we didn't make the trade. I'd much rather keep Cousins over getting Harden.

Good no trade. I think Harden is good, but he's overrated. He's definitely not worth a max deal. He's a good second option and a great third option, but not someone who can carry a team. Boogie has the talent to carry a team.

evansv and deal

Cousins is too much to give up. If it was Robinson, Evans and a future top 7 or 10 protected pick i think it would've been worth it though. Isiah and Harden would be great together in the back court. Most importantly though the guy just went to the finals, and you can see he has a strong will to win. He would've definitely stepped up to become the leader, but still let Cousins do his thing like he always let Durant and Westbrook do theirs.

You still think that way? Harden's been a beast for Houston putting up monster numbers.

I like whoever mentioned trading Tyreke and Robinson for Harden, I would do that trade in a heartbeat!

No way. Cousins is way more valuable than Harden and has a chance to be a really special player.

If it was a package deal with any other players on the roster (Tyreke, Robinson, etc.), I'd likely be for it.

I would not trade Cousins for Harden. Cousins upside is a lot more than Hardens and I don't judge the value of a player by the stats he puts up in 3 games. Big men with Cousins skill set is rare and you can't give that up.

[DerekRE_3]

On second thought, I wish they would have done it. Boogie could have gone to a real team. Ibaka/Cousins would be the perfect front court pair.

OKC:

Westbrook
Thabo
Durant
Ibaka
Cousins

SAC:

Brooks
Harden
Johnson
Hayes
Thompson

Our bench would be better than our starting lineup.
