I'm told Woj tweeted about cousins not being happy. I can't get twitter at work though so someone else would have to check if legit. Doubt it's anything to do with trading him and he'll get over it if he is upset.

I would love to see the offer he makes to try and get cousins

[chosen_one6]

I heard that one of Cousins' agents used to be on the Nuggets coaching staff back when Karl was head coach. That agent was an assistant head coach and then got demoted to a scout position or something like that.

Not really, that was the story but he was somewhat misquoted according to a Sactown beat writer on LA radio this afternoon

He just didn't want to comment on it because of Corbin, he liked Corbin, he said he's fine with Karl but according to the beat writer the way the questioned was phrased it was a loaded question so Cousins replied in a way that was taken as he doesn't like Karl

Kendricks Perkins + Perry jones/fillers as a salary dump.

Presti says that kings get themselves a hard nosed big man and capspace for next year.

Under the right circumstances, crazy things happen.

Shaq(best centre in the league at the time) was traded from the Lakers in the day?

"I wasn't consulted when the decision was made to fire Mike Malone and I'm not being consulted now," Cousins said on Tuesday. "I just hope they make a decision soon and stick with it. George Karl is an experienced, proven coach and if that is who they chose to coach this team, I will support it. I do not like all these discussions in the media while we have a coach in place. It is a distraction and not fair to Coach [Tyrone] Corbin and this team."

-DeMarcus Cousins

He's always bitching about something. This entitlement these young guys like Cousins and Lillard have is pathetic. Fukcing cry babies.

Considering Karl's history with other difficult players I'm going to guess this doesn't end well.

Or this is the time Cousins grows up and starts to be accountable for his tantrums.


Unlike Smith who was just a bonehead and often a selfish player shooting bad shots, Cousins is overly emotional sometimes. He let's his temper get the better of him when things aren't going his way.

[andremiller07]

Hopefully this lead to either Cousins buying into non isolation basketball or getting traded, him and Rudy. Sick of watching these clowns go out and embarrass the franchise all the time.

i'm having a hard time seeing how this cousins/karl relationship will work?? I mean look at Karl's history he's had fights with Ray Allen,Kenyon Martin, Carmelo Anthony. I can see these two clashing, Cousins is much bigger head than these other guys

Cousins is a good as gone from Sacramento, the moment they fired Malone his days were numbered. He's been here for 5 years and we have not won more than 30 games I think both sides need a fresh start.

[KNOW1EDGE]

I read that Karl wants to run a more uptempo offense with more ball movement.

While Cousins and his agent wants the Kings to slow it down, play inside out and feed the ball to Cousins in the paint.

Idk. But Cousins is a great player and Karl is a great coach.

Cousins and SVG seem like a match made in heaven

[JohnFreeman]

Cousins has said he hasn't got a problem

[DJ Leon Smith]

He got along fine with Gary Payton. He'll have no problems with Cousins.

He wasn't bitching at all. He was saying no one in the Kings organization has asked him or the players about their coaching changes. He's saying to the Kings front office that they're going for their 3rd coach in 1 season and they're dragging Corbin and the players through this shit and the players and Corbin don't deserve it (Corbin was told he'd coach the season out). So the front office needs to make a decision and stick with it and let them play basketball.

No way should the Kings, a team that's been rebuilding for like 10 years now, trade a guy with the potential of Cousins.

For the first 15 games of the season this guy was one of the top 10 players in the league, easy.

He has incredible talent. Passing, shooting, handles, post up game and great size.

[Nowitness]

A career loser who made a top 3 WOAT coaching decision in sports history by not letting Payton shut down Jordan coaching a team lead by a head case, stat padding bitch?

People think this is a good move? Should have been Mully running the show.

[Demon Lizard]

Good hire by the Kings.

He's definitely immature and overly emotional, but the joke that is the Kings organziation certainly isn't helping matters. They're about to go through THREE coaches in one season, (with 30 games to go in the season!) they've made countless boneheaded trades and signings, and their owner is an absolute nutcase.

Not a very stable environment for a guy like Boogie. I'd imagine even the most laid back of veterans would be frazzled if they spent a few years on the Kings.

[Miles and Miles]

They aren't going to trade Cousins. That time has past. If they were going to it would have been when the new owners took over. Cousins is the only good draft pick in the history of the franchise. Hopefully George Karl can take this season and start to build something for next year. If they tank this year they won't have any fans left by next year.
