...or wishful jerking off by forum posters.
DC likely won't be traded this season at all. Their best market for a questionable malcontent will be next summer, when there will be many spurned suitors from the FA market.
Maybe Sacto could work out a deal with Orlando for Dwight

Bonner and a pick. Nothing more.
We have nothing to offer in trade.
I'd rather see Varejao.
Varejao, though I think he'd make a great Spur, provides similar skills to Splitter - we don't need two guys who are the same.
You mean 05 and 07 - Horry was a Faker in 03. Jax and Kevin Willis (the original T-Rex!) were our tough guys that year, and they were awesome at it!Money. The Spurs need a bad boy to do the enforcer job for them in the playoffs...
Who did that in 03 and 05? I wonder...
We could definitely use two guys who are the same IMO. Especially if it's Splitter we are replicating.
I think we need a big who can score a bit, with a reliable post game and 15fter (as well as being a decent defender), to take over from Tim after he retires (I'm becoming increasingly sure it will happen after this season). I don't think Splitter is ever going to be that. He might score 10-12ppg, but he'll never be a scorer. Varejao is much the same.
Now if Grizz continues to develop as a post beast (ala Elton Brand years ago), and especially if he develops some reliable range (unlikely), two Splitters would be great!
Isn't the point moot anyway? I haven't read that CLE are trying to shift Anderson.
Calipari meanwhile checks on how much dirt investigators have on him, to see if it's time to jump to the NBA yet or not.
either you trade for cousins and tank for a future possibility cousins/drummond frontline
or trade his ass to move up in the draft
This from NBA dotcom. The quote is Paul Westphal:
---------------
"Everything that happens on a team does not become known to the public. This is how it should be. However, when a player continually, aggressively, lets it be known that he is unwilling/unable to embrace traveling in the same direction as his team, it cannot be ignored indefinitely."
Translation: Cousins' difficult transition to the NBA is much worse than what's been reported.
--------------
Some team will be willing to take a chance on him, and will overpay Sac in prospects and picks. But it won't be the Spurs. "Taking a chance" on Cousins is like betting double zero on a roulette wheel. It's a sucker bet.
The Spurs just have to add talent through draft. This season the pick will be higher then usual. If they trade for Cousins, he won't be playing until next season anyway.
takes 2 years to know t he spurs system, might as well get him now and tank and be ready for the next season with drummond next to him, duncan and splitter off the bench...
Hill played as a rookie. Anderson played as a rookie until hurt. Neal played as a rookie. Kawhi is playing as a rookie.
When the Pistons traded Darko, they got a mid draft pick for him. He was crazy, but not that much as Cousins and seemed less talented. I think the Pistons selected Stuckey with the pick.
Neal wasn't a true rookie, he was an established pro in Europe, as Manu. Hill didn't play in the playoffs as a rookie until the Spurs lost the series with Dallas, the same happened with Splitter, who missed the pre-season, and other bigs that arrived mid-season (Thomas and Gooden). Typically, new bigs get less chance to play in the Spurs system, due to the defensive rotations.
I think that Cousins wouldn't see playtime in the playoffs, if the Spurs make it there without Ginobili. If the case of Darko is indicative, the price would be a pick, plus another player to make things work, could be Bonner.
Bonner doesn't shot consistently in the playoffs, but he doesn't make rookie mistakes either. And the pick, even if not lottery, where if there are not chances to get an athletc bigman, could be used for a good PG or SG, and later trade Parker or Manu for an all-star big.
Like Roman Polanski.
why not....people want to blow this team up, manu is injured...if trade flops better draft position and if pop can pick this kids brain, could anchor team for years to come
The Kings have sent out a new release that they have fired coach Paul Westphal.
The message is clear: After a year-long battle between Westphal and DeMarcus Cousins, there is no question who won.

Good luck ever controlling Cousins again, Sactown.
We should trade for COusins
That way, we'll get rid of Pop
Ahh, I get it, then Cousins could be a player/coach, like back in the day.We should trade for COusins
That way, we'll get rid of Pop
No way, we have Danny Green! Everything will be fine now!
I'd rather try for Jones III from Baylor. He's going to be a good player.
The Kings thought they were going to hire Larry Brown to replace Westphal. Why? Becuase of Brown's reputation for being the only coach to ever remotely handle Allen Iverson - another perennial problem child. I understand that Brown didn't want any part of DeMarcus Cousins, and wouldn't even discuss it with them.
So instead they made Keith Smart their new head coach, whose previous head coaching experience includes going 9-31 with Cleveland (interim), and 36-46 with Golden State. Why? Because they know that no good coach is going to step into a situation where the tail wags the dog.
They're goin' off the rails, on a crazy train.
They just need to roll into this summer, and some spurned FA suitor will take him off their hands for a good price, and they can re-tool and hire a new legit coach.
The situation in Sacramento with DeMarcus Cousins has been festering for more than a year, and it's clear the Kings are at their wit's end as far as how to rein in the talented but virtually uncoachable sop re. It's no surprise to one front office executive who advised his staff and coaches that in the event Cousins were still on the board when they picked in 2010, they should run far and fast and not look back. "I told my coaches, 'You guys can't handle dealing with him. He'll kill you,'" the executive said. "'Trust me, 30 days into the season you'll give up on him and it'll be on our back.'" Sure enough, that's exactly what happened in Sacramento last season, and with a young roster with no established veteran to put Cousins in check, the situation has gotten worse. CBSSports.com
