More Kings coverage from Sactown Sports

As many former and current NBA players were in San Francisco for this past weekend’s NBA All-Star event, former Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins made the trip to The Bay.

While there, with plenty of media around, he took part in a Q&A on Hoops Hype, where he discussed a wide variety of topics, including his thoughts on the Kings’ current state and their decision to move on from De’Aaron Fox at the trade deadline.

Of course, there are a few players who could better relate to Fox’s experiences during his 7.5 seasons in Sacramento.
