The Sacramento Kings have done things in the past to make their star DeMarcus Cousins unhappy. Fire Mike Malone, for one.
Apparently, one thing they could do to appease Boogie is draft Kentucky center Willie Cauley-Stein with the sixth pick in the June 25 draft, according to ESPN's Ryen Russillo.
The case can be made for the Kings taking Trill at No. 6 anyway. Sacramento needs interior defense, something Cauley-Stein provides as the consensus best defender in the draft. Cousins has spent the past few years playing next to the likes of Jason Thompson and Derrick Williams and could use some help. Russillo adds that the pick works for Cousins because it moves him off center to power forward.
