Dealing DeMarcus Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans may be the first of many moves for the Sacramento Kings leading into the NBA’s Feb. 23 trade deadline. From The Vertical’s Chris Mannix: The Kings excised Cousins, and there are strong indications they are not done dealing, either. Sacramento is determined to restock the franchise with assets, [...]

Kings Owner Vivek Ranadive is a highly creative software and business tycoon, but has proven to be a slightly meddling and legitimately loopy basketball mind. He was the one person who still loved DeMarcus Cousins and refused to trade him until the bitter end. He has actually suggested and wanted his team to play 4-on-5 [...]

After approximately one million stories about the seemingly never-ending saga between the Sacramento Kings and DeMarcus Cousins and who was more at fault for the organization’s struggles and whether they should or shouldn’t, would or wouldn’t trade the supremely talented and supremely ornery center, the Cousins era in Sacramento ended Sunday night after the All-Star [...]

Though Anthony’s named has ambled in and out of the rumor mill over the last month or so, largely [...]

Anthony Davis had a good Sunday night. Okay, fine: He had one of the best Sunday nights in the history of Sunday nights. First, he dropped 52 points during the Western Conference’s 192-182 All-Star Game victory over the Eastern Conference, breaking Wilt Chamberlain’s previous record of 42 points. Then, in front of the hometown New [...]

The Toronto Raptors are surely done wheeling and dealing after acquiring Serge Ibaka from the Orlando Magic, right? Maybe not. From the Toronto Star‘s Doug Smith: HAVE: League sources insist Toronto will not give away any more young assets such as Delon Wright, Jakob Poeltl, Lucas Nogueira, Pascal Siakam, Norm Powell or Fred VanVleet, but that [...]
