Vlade Divac stands firm on not trading DeMarcus Cousins

For what it's worth, Kings VP of Basketball Operations, Vlade Divac, appears to be sticking to his guns in regards to DeMarcus Cousins.

Just spoke with a very irritated Vlade Divac. Said he is not trading Cousins, and denies Karl pushing for any deal involving All-Star center

To be fair, Vlade doesn't need to rush into anything. As James Ham wrote in his piece today on Sacramento's dysfunction, the draft is a false deadline, manufactured by the sense of urgency created by the various leaks intimating Cousins desire to leave Sacramento and Karl's desire to make that happen.
