Wow...this is some more telling stuff from Mr. Powell of nba.com.

And he connects the dots from the Celtics to Boogie.

Like many I'm becoming more gun shy about acquiring Cousins one because of his personality, and two his teams have never won at least 30 games. 

The good news is there could be other stars available on the market this offseason like Butler, Love, and Griffin while not as talented as Cousins probably less risk disrupting our team.

dont worry. Cousins will not be brought here

Last trouble guy CBS had to deal with was Rondo. And he is a model citizen compared to Cousins

I still want him and I want him bad.  If anything, these reports lowers his trade value and maybe even limit competition to acquire him.  I don't mind all these ridiculous reports that is painting the guy as a nutjob while neglecting the part the organization played in this.  Get it done, Danny.  Get it done.

He is in a hoprrible environment. Look what the Kings did to T. Evans career and look at how bad every move they have made turned out. The coach wanted out right after he signed the contract imo.

I think Cousins is deadset on leaving Sacremento. I'm willing to take a chance on Cousins and attribute his most recent incidents to him trying to get out of that situation.

Honestly I think Cousins wants to play for the celtics and reunite with IT. He knows, like everybody knows, that Boston is the most obvious trade destination.

Cousins doesn't have motivation to play well and behave. If he plays well and behaves Sacremento will want to keep him.

10 dollar maturity....Thats a bit high isn't it?

There are times I'm a fan, he's got some skill, but...

His attitude just plan sucks. I like a guy with a chip on his shoulder, but it's got to reflect on the court in a positive way, which most cases for him, it doesn't.

Maybe if we could have gotten him a few years ago with KG and PP here, I would be down for it, but I'm not sure Stevens could get this guy to come around, and I have huge faith in Stevens and how he handles his guys.

He's about a $40 million talent, being paid $15 million. 

He's easily a top-10 player in the league, the most dominant big man in the league today.  We'd trade our franchise for Anthony Davis.  Well, Cousins is outproducing Anthony Davis, and when he's playing, his team has been more successful than Davis'.

Yes but Davis is a real pro. Does not have a bad attitude.

You know who else had top skills but due to personality got the see you later? Gilbert Arenas

the point is, it doesn't matter if you a top man skill wise, but have a major attitude issue that negatively affects your team environment.  Unless your team is one of the better teams in the league people may look the other way (I still wouldn't).

And yet, Cousins has a positive +/- with lottery talent, and Davis is wildly in the negative.  How much negative impact is DMC really having?

Celtics have possibly the most CORRECT organization for Boogie.   Winners , established team,  he could be KING in the east.  Yet avoid the CA and NY ....TV Kardashians dogma that plagues so many NBA stars .

I think his overall attitude might possibly get worse on the Lakers or Knicks . Fed by the pressure of the media and again....NO coach or brains in the organizations.

He needs a winning environment , one that has had success ,  one that he can believe in .
