The trade of DeMarcus Cousins was more of a situation of addition by subtraction for the Kings, who seemed destined to be mired in a losing culture so long as they were held hostage by their ultra-talented but volatile forward. Although they had to accept far less than fair market value in a trade, the move allows them to create a new culture and start rebuilding around some promising younger players. Expect a short-term uptick in their performance, and it doesn’t hurt that they come out of the break against a defense-challenged Nuggets team. Take the points.
