To say the lead-up to the NBA draft has been tumultuous for the Sacramento Kings would be an understatement. Of course, there's seemingly always a lot of gossip in the days leading up to the draft, so it's not surprising.
For the Kings, a lot of the focus is on center DeMarcus Cousins and whether the team will trade the talented big man. There are reports of other franchises interested in Cousins, denials from Sacramento on his availability and the disturbing possibility of head coach George Karl allegedly going behind the front office's back to shop the center to other organizations.
