Hour by hour, the Sacramento Kings trade of DeMarcus Cousins continues to get more mind-blowing.
Not even a day after Cousins was traded by the Kings to the New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento general manager Vlade Divac admitted to media that the Kings were offered a better deal for the All-Star center and declined.
That decision played a factor into why the Kings did eventually pull the trigger on the DeMarcus Cousins trade for Buddy Hield.
Reporter: "you're saying you had a better offer two days ago, didn't take it, and thought you'd better do the deal now?"
Vlade: Exactly

The Kings reportedly made the trade under the impression that they’re acquiring the next Stephen Curry.
Kings Think They Traded DeMarcus Cousins For ‘The Next Steph Curry’
As for the ‘better deal’, it was reported the Kings and Los Angeles Lakers had trade talks two days ago. Might they have been the team?
