(Gambling911.com Sports Wire) – The LA Lakers are fully exploiting a Twitter emojis feud of sorts in which Sacramento Kings Fantasy Sports behemoth DeMarcus Cousins not-so-subtle tweet of a snake symbol seemed to be directed at head coach George Karl.  The Lakers want Cousins and they want him bad.

The Kings star player, whose Daily Fantasy price reached $10,500 by season’s end, reportedly is enraged by Karl’s suggested that the Kings top point scorer needs to be traded.  Kings Management had previously suggested that would not happen.

The Lakers are looking to capitalize on this situation with online sportsbooks preparing to slash LA’s odds of winning an NBA Championship from 60-1 to 40-1 with a Kobe-Cousins combo.

NBC Sports is now reporting that Julius Randle is in play as part of a potential trade along with the number 2 pick.

Dan Feldman of NBC Sports writes:

If the Lakers’ offer is one or the other, it’s hard to see a trade happening. But if they’re offering both the No. 2 pick and Randle, we might be onto something.
