I wondered on Twitter yesterday if Kings fans would trade Cousins for Love. I received a resounding "no", which surprised me. Some qualified their response with a requirement that Love would need to sign an extension. I see that logic. You don't give up Cousins for a one season rental of Love. But many were insistent that they wouldn't give up Cousins for Love under any circumstances. That surprised me. Love is an astounding talent. He's the caliber of player we hope Cousins becomes, but may never become. Future growth is likely but not promised.
I do think it's important that we be realistic when considering what could land Love. Think of the ridiculous offers other fans threw out when Cousins was supposedly available. The offers were insulting. That's how Wolves fans will feel about most of the offers we come up with. I'd encourage you to look at the reactions from our friends at Canis Hoopus, but please don't go trolling. You can share your trade ideas here. They are being bombarded by hairbrained trade proposals. No need to add to it. Instead, use this thread. Look at Love's abilities, and then come up with your best offers in the comments below.
I've also included a poll, so we can see if my Twitter followers accurately represented the feelings of Kings fans.
A final thought: it's unlikely the Kings land Kevin Love. But this is Sacramento, where Love will find a way.
