I accept this trade as it gives me another big under contract to pair with LMA and hopefully another long term piece for our team. I give up a ton of depth here as well as several very good players such as Batum but I'm willing to bet I can get those type of players back in the offseason while DeMarcus is one of my favorites and a great fit next to LMA and Lillard. 

[Pinoy Sakuragi]

I accept.. I search for the best trade possible for Cousins and the contract of Gay. I really want Rondo to complete my guard rotation and Batum's athleticism and intangibles will be a great fit. I want a super running team and Rondo is the missing piece.

I also got Lopez who can fill my C spot that was left by Cousins. Both Batum and Rondo are still young so I think they can fill the void left by Cousins' potential for the future.

[Alex English]

Wow Portland is giving up a ton here. But they do get the best player in the trade. The biggest issue here though is that after this trade the only post players on the Kings roster will be Andris Biendrins and Trey Thompkins. This deal will make Jennings expendable though.

EDIT: I see Robin Lopez to the Kings has been edited in. Still a really weak front court.

Babbitt, Batum and Outlaw will fill minutes in the PF position because I will play small ball sir.

Portland comes away big winners here. All that depth is nothing when you have lillard, gay, Aldridge, and cousins

[Tom Izzo]

I just really don't feel like Portland gives up that much tbh. He trades one 83 SF for another and then a bunch of bench warmers. I'm not going to vote on this trade, I'll let the other members do it

[Glenn Robinson]

Wow! Portland came away robbing everyone blind lol.

[John Stockton]

Damn! Portland becomes immediate contenders, Blake gets draft picks and young players for the rebuild, and Sacramento gets a star Pg in rondo. Crazy Deal!

[Brian Scalabrine]

Well I'd like to just point out that if you look at each teams individual returns they all get what they need. I get a win now center, sac gets a pg to run their fast break offense who is top 5 in the league at that position and the best player on his team while shedding Rudys huge deal and Boston gets picks and young players as they are rebuilding and probably won't keep rondo in 2 years anyway as he will leave to a contender.

In my opinion, and I realize I am not on the TC but still, Boston gets raped yet again. The other two sides are fair but POR in 14 and 16 will be dang good after this trade.

I agree. Boston should get more draft picks in return

I actually think its the best one yet, and probably passable. 2 1sts, a very serviceable guard in Wes, and 3 young talents, although im not sure how young Kanter is anymore lol 

[Josh Barber]

Agree with what's been said above. Portland obviously kills, it's kinda meh for Sacramento, and Boston probably loses. Let's wait to hear from Blake before making our votes
