DeMarcus Cousins, despite some draft night (alleged! He may have been at hot yoga!) misgivings, will be in the loop. Rumors that intensified earlier this offseason when it was reported that the Kings were determined to deal both Rudy and center Kosta Koufos.
Divac, in this instance, is basically telling Rudy Gay that he has no reason to reach out about the myriad trade rumors that have swirled around Gay since last winter. Players like Rudy Gay, as we saw when Larry Bird let starting point man George Hill know about his trade away from Indiana via voicemail, aren’t usually the ones linked in on every would-be trade possibility that passes by. That’s where you get into the frustrating part.
Obviously, if I didn’t call him, we didn’t do anything.”
