GasolWord on the skreets is that the Spurs are prepping on making a max offer to someone not on their current roster.

every season every major FA is linked to: Lakers, Knicks, Mavs, Rockets, Bulls....Majority of the time they are just used as leverage sometimes they get the guy but usually just leverage.

what levrege he already getting max
Yeah he's getting the max straight up...I'm just using previous examples of how the players use these squads...They even go an sit down and meet with the teams hear them out and sign elsewhere.
In terms of?
So when Fegan tried to orchestrate a trade that would send Cousins to the Los Angeles Lakers in the days leading up to the draft - one that Kings owner Vivek Ranadive gave him permission to pursue when he made it clear that Cousins wanted out - it wouldn't have shocked anyone if Divac decided to do the deal just to quiet this storm. Instead, he's trying to fix a fractured situation on his terms.
Looking closer at that revelation, though, we can interpret what's happening here. Fegan tells the Kings that Cousins wants out. This, whether true or not, would put the Kings in an interesting situation. Fegan has done this before, and he isn't an agent to mess with. So how do you handle it? Exactly how the Kings did.
You say to Fegan, "go ahead, you want him in LA? Work with them an bring us an offer." The Kings aren't giving up leverage. They aren't shopping Cousins. They're saying to bring an offer. Then, when the Lakers brought an offer, the Kings rejected it. This stays in line with what the organization has said. They'll move Cousins if, and only if, a deal is offered that is a "godfather" offer.
Vlade's recent appearances on local radio simply reinforced this. Divac spoke extensively about his refusal to be bullied or taken advantage of. He spoke about the importance of improving this team. And he spoke about not making any deals that don't help this franchise. Vlade isn't tearing this down. He's building it up.
Did Vivek give Fegan permission to pursue a trade? It sure seems like it. Should we be worried? Perhaps, but I'm not.
