Demarcus Cousin almost had a ''Malice in the palace'' moment in Puerto Rico

[Xiao Yao You]

Sabonis has issues. Would i want him on my team? Sure. Would i want cousins? Hell no! Tou are comparing mediocre to very good king teams to bad to very bad kings teams.

Ive mentuoned the kings franchise provlems many times. Apparently his current francgise in puerto rico has similar issues. Demarcus certainlt cant be blamed. Guve the fuy a better franchise and he is an all time great!

What? I never implied cousins was right in his actions in the incident. Nor did I blame the team or him being suspended/banned whatever the end result was. So why even make that a thing? That’s weird as hell. The only issue I mentioned down there was fans throwing stuff. That’s cowardly, it’s scumbag tactics. And fans like that need to be handled. I’m tired of it being overlooked, accepted, normalized. Especially when the player that gets stuff thrown isn’t liked. Fans get too many passes for acting like clowns. This is a perfect example of most people either justifying what they did or simply saying hey I don’t care for cousins/he brought it on himself *shrugs*”.

The other issue is I think cousin was a talented big man. He had skills. But I also know the situation he was in? A complete mess. It wasn’t a winning environment nor culture in Sac. And as of today? Still ain’t imo. Sabonis is next to be traded. Wasting his talent in a crappy organization. Who traded added Zach Lavine. A guy who doesn’t push the needle at all.

Does cousin deserve blame for his career? Certainly. Never said he was exempt from that. Just like I never said he was innocent in Puerto Rico. Like the fans and kings franchise? I’m merely highlighting what most fans either don’t talk about, don’t care or when folks are critical the energy doesn’t match. Notice how you went in on cousins and still do? That’s fine. That same energy isn’t matched for how terrible the kings franchise is. That’s all I’m saying. All this breakdown how cousins is a loser, inefficient etc but it’s mild chatter when we speak on how much of a dump Sacramento is. Sabonis won’t sniff the playoffs again there. Dog shyt franchise. Theres no winning culture there

And if Rudy gobert played there for 6-7 years you would be agreeing with everything im saying about that franchise.

Probably would have an opinion on gobert of he had been withe kings. Not much doubt in my mind that he would have made them conpetitive as sabonis did. They make tgose around them better. While cousins is a shit show

A center that doesnt protect the rim for starters

A center that doesnt protect the rim for starters

That’s it. I can’t think of anything else besides him not being an elite shot blocker at Center. He’s not someone who can anchor a defense. I wouldn’t say he’s a bad defender but he’s not a threat altering or making someone think twice at the rim.
