The season is off to a decent start for the Trail Blazers, but there is clearly something missing when they face the elite teams in the Western Conference. There is a steep drop-off in scoring once you get past the production from Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum, which has many fans clamoring for a trade. A name that makes sense (due to his apparent availability) is the Kings’ dominant center, DeMarcus Cousins.
Sacramento’s center has had tumultuous tenure since being drafted in the 2010 NBA Draft. Despite Cousins’ often elite play, the Kings have never made it to the postseason with him on the roster.
