Kings Wanted Lakers to Deal Brandon Ingram, D’Angelo Russell in Potential DeMarcus Cousins Trade

No wonder DeMarcus Cousins isn’t member of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Sacramento Kings were asking for too much. That’s not the vibe you get from the package they ultimately accepted from the New Orleans Pelicans—Buddy Hield, a top-three protected first-round in this year’s draft, the Philadelphia 76ers’ second-round pick, Langston Galloway and Tyreke Evans. [...]

Kings Owner Thinks Buddy Hield Can be Steph 2.0

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.
