well can't really blame him or be made at his "loyalty" he wants to win and win in Sac, but we all know the way the Kings are run, he will never really succeed there

What a dummy both are

Team wont go anywhere

[PAOBoston]

He'd be stupid if he turned down that money. Smart move on his part.

They need a new GM and FO... they draft high in every draft ... need to cash in those picks ..
Probably why they dont want to trade him for picks

Neither are those dozens of millions in extra money he's only going to get from the Kings.

Maybe that'll finally cut the number of Cousins threads on here in half (ha....who am I kidding?).

[Tr1boy]

I cant believe their fans support this team... One of the worst team ever... Have they even made the playoffs in the past? Unmemorable

And this is another dummy move that moves the franchise nowhere

Can't disagree more on this, there are something you can't buy,ex:winning
especially if you are an millionaire, yes it's a HUGE money but does it really makes so much difference in your life?

My guess is he want's to stay because he wants to be the BOSS on the team and can do whatever he wants

Nah.  I've been of the opinion for a while (since the new designated vet extensions were known) that Cousins would sign one and then try to force a trade a year later.  It won't be long until others grab onto that idea.

[footey]

Am kind of relieved. I don't think he would get us over the hump here. I really don't. And the price would be too steep.

It's funny, because there seem to be more irritated Celtics fans than Kings fans these days 

Even more irritated after last night's loss.

Kings fans know their team is dysfunctional.

It's also impressive Sixers fans have hung with this team for so long but I mean, Charles Barkley is right.. in 3-5 years the Sixers will be perennial contenders with Embiid/Simmons and either Fultz/Ball, etc. etc.

Makes perfect sense.


Sign contract.


Then demand trade.

Doubt it... Sixers are a mess

They dont even know how to execute a trade to get rid of surplus

You're our resident cap expert.  How does this potential extension work?

Cousins will still have 1 year and $18m left on his contract when (if) he signs an extension this summer (which would probably start around $36m, right?), would that replace his final year and start immediately?  Or would it go into effect after his current contract runs out?

I have to imagine it's going to be a lot harder to acquire a guy like Cousins with that huge contract until the rest of the C's non-star players salaries catch up.  Unless of course you want to trade Horford and filler for Cousins...
