Details hazy right now but looks like Boogie and Casspi to the Pels for Hield, Galloway and picks?
This seems....odd.

I'm guessing Boston didn't want him or are holding out for Butler. But what are the Kings doing? Boogie is a top 10 player. Hield is a decent prospect, but trading a star for a decent prospect and for what might not even be a lottery pick makes no sense.

Well, Cousins is a jerk behind the scenes and the Kings are a mess of an organization. It's been widely reported of the trouble between them since the day he signed.

I have a hard time believing this was the best deal available. I get Sacramento wanted expiring and rookie contracts, but there is no way this was the best offer. Cousins is one of the best players in the league. Of course he has some issues, but you don't trade a potentially top 10 player for a guard who could be an above average starter, a mid first round pick, a second round pick, and an expiring deal.
The Kings have essentially traded Cousins, Isaiah Thomas, and Tyreke Evans for Hield, Greivas Vasquez, a second round player who never made the NBA, a trade exception, a mid first round pick, a couple second round picks, and an injured Tyreke Evans. This isn't even a 20/20 hindsight situation either.

It just showed the trade value for Boogie at this point. The Kings have made a ton of poor front office decisions, but they made the right move here.
Culture change,that's what this is about. They now have a chance to move on and go forward. They couldn't win with him and I have a hard time believing that they will drop off a ton given their level of mediocrity for over a decade.

It's looking like Vivek is in love with Hield. There were other offers, but Vivek thinks Hield could be the next Steph Curry. I don't see it, but to be fair, I didn't think Curry would become Curry either.
It's going to be tough going forward. No free agents will want to go there. They don't have any young guys who can replace Boogie's production. They don't have many assets to move now that Boogie is gone.
