Looks like a Cousins trade is going to be one of the headlines on Friday.

The hype machine for the "Zinger" is on.
Part 2 of Grantland's Feature on Kristaps Porzingis
I'm down with a Cousins-to-Lakers move if they can keep Randle and Clarkson. That would be great.
Man, as much as I want to believe Porzingis wont be a bust, I am super weary of Euro players that gives Chad Fraud a hard on. Seriously, first he was deeply enamored with Tskitishvili. And that guy became a bust. After that, there was Darko. And what did he say about Darko? "He wont be like Tskitishvili" and things like "he is the real deal". He was singing praises for Darko heralding him as a "can't miss" kind of talent.
And now he is saying "Porzingis wont be like Darko". Boy, I hope this doesnt bite Chad Fraud's ass again. Haha
But seriously, Porzingis passes the eye test. He is very agile and quick for a legit 7-footer. He has a nice shooting stroke and he has athleticism. This will be a case of which team he'll fit well with and which environment will he develop the most to reach his true potential.
