The DeMarcus Cousins trade should be rock bottom for the Kings. It won't be.
Seven years of desperately trying to make an uneasy marriage work resulted in one of the worst trades in NBA history.
The Sacramento Kings have been in the NBA draft lottery for 10 straight years. With those 10 picks, the Kings managed to draft exactly one star, DeMarcus Cousins. On Sunday, Sacramento traded him to the New Orleans Pelicans. Now they have little to show for ever having had Cousins in the first place.
