Demarcus Cousins demands trade from SAC

[Lord of Mikawa]

Something seems fishy here.

This CANNOT be the same DeMarcus Cousins that I saw hustling and diving on the floor for loose balls VS the Lakers just last week...can't be.

Something's not right.

I agree. He was going all out in that game. There has to be something behind the scenes going on that we can't/won't ever see.

The T-Wolves should trade for him.  You think he'd be happy with Rubio getting him easy looks?

Beasley and Cousins are a recipe for disaster. I think Cousins needs to be on a team with vet leadership, not a young team like the Wolves.

I actually think the trade that would make sense would be Beasley for Cousins.  Trade talented headcases for each other.  

The Kings get a better talent than they would otherwise get for Cousins, and the Wolves open up minutes for Williams.

This makes a ton of sense for Minnesota.  Rubio/Love/Cousins is a heck of a young core to build around that all look to be the real deal in the NBA already.  As mentioned, it would give Derrick Williams a chance too.  I love it for them.  

Does Sac want to trade away one headcase and bring another in?  It might be the best young talent they'd get back for him though.

Wouldn't be a bad haul for MN. Essentially Cousins for a 2nd rounder....

How about

okc sends: westbrook + Ibaka

Sac sends: Evans + Cousins

Never going to happen.

I can't entirely blame him . . . look at that team and how it is constructed and try to tell me that a young big man is going to thrive.

The dude is supremely talented and needs touches yet he's on a team full of gunner combo guards.  Not a single passer on that team.

I don't know if DeMarcus Cousins really needs more touches right now. He is already taking 13 shots a game (more than Tyreke) on a woeful 32% shooting. If anything, Cousins needs clean up his shot selection. A big man like him shooting a career 42.5% is ridiculous.  I could see him some day maturing into an effective player a la Zach Randolph, but it seems that he has a long way to go.

I think we should offer: Scalabrine, Delonte, BB Davies, and the first round draft pick for the next 3 years for Damarcus, and we should get him. 

[slamtheking]

how about

Bos sends:Brandon Bass, JJJ,clippers pick and/or c's pick

Sac sends: Cousins

Would love to get him on the cheap. I think Doc could handle this kid. If he is going to respect anyone it would be Doc Rivers as a coach . PP will still be the captain, and Rondo would make him so much better.

Sac could probably get a better offer though dang it  

How's that on the cheap?  Bass has looked like a steal, JJJ has potential and that pick is in a deep draft (either the C's or the Clip's pick--both figure to be between 15-22)

I bet it's about a girl. Not even kidding.

It's utahs time to shine. Al Jefferson or Millsap for cousins. They shed $, they get a real center, and they clear the way for Favors to begin his work in earnest.

[green7]

JO & bradley + JJJ + clippers first round pick

[raynman]

Anyone but Stiemsma! 

[blackberry33]

Would love to get him playing with Rondo and tutored by Kg

He's taking a lot of shots, yeah, but is anybody working to get him good looks?  I imagine a lot of those shots are frustration shots he takes when the ball comes his way and he's not really open but he wants to get himself involved in the offense.

u forgot they have Enes Kanter

they'd trade those 2 for  wing players if anything probably someone like igudala,ellis is who i'd go for if im utah

[stylo617617]

but for cousins? i'd trade both our 1st rounders/future 2nd rounder/JJJ & avery

EDIT: OH and sasha too =]

JJJ was a 1st rounder ,avery was too ,thats pretty much 4 ST ROUNDERS FOR HIM how can they say no? if i was a greedy person i'll ask for thompson too

[indeedproceed]

Kanter doesn't have half the potential Cousins does, and having two legit center prospects in this league is what I like to refer to as 'one of them good problems'.

Plus they could still move Millsap for wing help.
