Some bad news for Raptors fans and good news for Kings fans: DeMarcus Cousins does not expect to be dealt which sounds like he is (relatively) happy in Sacramento for now, although that forecast can change any minute.
As the authority on all things Boogie-to-Toronto, the latest update comes from Cousins’ conversation with ESPN’s Marc Stein, in which Cousins says, “I talked to management a lot. We’re on the same page. I’m not worried about it.”
There’s still time between now and the February trade deadline, and as Stein points out, Cousins hits unrestricted free agency in 2018, which sounds pretty far away but then you consider the Kings have made the playoffs in a million years and they appear to be on the outside looking in again this season, which means next season will be the last year of Boogie’s contract and his value might not be higher than at this year’s deadline for a team to acquire him and have a year to convince him of a fit.
