Another Cousins trade but this time to the Bulls.

Kings give: Cousins, Casspi, Barnes, Temple

Kings get: Valentine, Portis, McDermott, MCW/ Grant, Return of Kings 2017 pick (top-10 protected), Bulls 2017 pick, Bulls 2019 pick, Celtics 2018 pick

Bulls give: Valentine, Portis, Lopez, McDermott, MCW/ Grant Return Kings pick if falls out of top 10, Bulls 2017 1st, Bulls 2019 1st (top 5 protected)

Bulls get: Cousins, Zeller, Jerekbo, Barnes, Temple

Celtics give : Zeller, Jerekbo and Celtics 2018 1st (or a different future pick)

Celtics get: Lopez, Casspi

The return for Cousins isn't the greatest but I believe Chicago would be a perfect fit for him. Wade could put Cousins in his place, Cousins had success with Rondo last year and Cousins is young enough that if he and Butler get along they could help keep each other in Chicago and be the center of something great in Chitown for next few years.

A lineup of Rondo, Wade, Butler, Mirotic, Cousins isn't too shabby either.

It would be more than a stretch to see the Celtics being part of a three-way deal in which Cousins is delivered to an Eastern Conference rival -- especially one in which they themselves don't get much better. I do like Casspi, though, and would offer one of Zeller, Olynyk and Zeller straight up for him. But Kings don't need bigs.

***Zeller, Olynyk or Johnson.

Kings should be getting little go less. four promising young players plus 3 1st rd picks! that's a lot.
