Demarcus Cousins demanded a trade from Sacramento..He's got size, he's 21, and IIRC, ther Spurs were rumored to make a deal to move up in that draft possibly to get him..any thoughts?
He is selfish. He's one of those guys all about himself. He got into it with his own team at Kentucky more times than I can count, and that already poured over onto the Kings.
Would love to add his skills at his size but he acts like a 9 year old and that will never fly in SA.
He has major, major character red flags. But his talent and upside is so enormous, he could develop into the cornerstone of our franchise a la Tim Duncan once the Big 3 is gone.
That said, I'm wary if we can give up enough to get him. Other teams will almost certainly be interested, and many can offer better packages than the Spurs.
If the Spurs could somehow trade small for big, maybe -- but damn, he's a roll of the dice chemistry-wise.
I figured he would be a distraction if he demanded a trade, but maybe a change in scenery/leadership could help him..maybe they will try and prove a point and be willing to let him go cheap..
Many teams out there would be willing to give up good pieces to potentially (given he eventually signs an extension) young, talented big man. It would probably take two of Blair, Splitter, Neal, or Anderson plus a pick or two to get it done, and I don't think it's worth it.
I think he's friends with DeJuan, and DeJuan would probably help keep him in check or would he have to be part of the trade package?
Head cases are rarely worth it and this clown is no exception. Though I would think it would be good for Pop to slap him around. No chance Cousins could get Pop fired.
I'm seeing an upside to splitter...is keep him...I think bonner would love the coast lol
Let's see what Pop thinks. If he wants to go after Cousins, I am not the only one who would be for it. But if he doesn't, then we will have to accept his decision.
I would love to see Cousins in Spurs silver and black. He has the tools to be a good player.
If no trade is made to shore up the big situation, maybe we could get E. Lorbek to come on over this season. Either that or Richards, both are doing great in Europe.
He's averaging 13/11 on a terrible team. I think he's pissed cause he isn't "the man" on the squad.
i would trade anyone on the spurs for cousins. of course, the kings won't want the old vets but any kind of young prospect + draft picks would be a no brainer to get cousins.
"well do our due diligence"
I'd trade Bonner and a first round pick for him
Trade who for him? Not many pieces to trade.IN A HEARTBEAT LOL.
I can only KBP Richards' status at this point. Sniffing the boxscores reveals he's rebounding with some consistency but not much else.
I do know that the second leading scorer on his team was kind of a middling bench shooting guard in the D-League for a couple of seasons, and that guy's stats are up across the board in the Swiss league as a starter. Considering the level of D-League play is lower this season (but improving a bit of late), Richards doesn't seem ready for prime time.
All caveats apply.
No thanks
Wait...
ChuckD made a good points in the general nba forum as well, I would pass on this guy.
-It would cost too much to get him, likely Splitter or Blair.
-Major character issues
-Doesn't play hard
-Will go from a situation where he gets all the minutes he wants to a 4/5th big situation. No way that sits well with someone as immature as him.
Pop's already shown that he'll bench talent over veterans in "fairness".. No way he plays Cousins over any of our bigs. Which means hes going to whine and and eventually demand another trade.
guy sounds like sj before he got here
price too high. Might ask for parker.
I'm down
spurs traded beno to them
with this going public kings are not going to get alot for him
this guy has so much potential if someone sets him straight
Big risk, potentially big reward, but there's no way Pop would play the guy! He's all about himself. Big man who shot 43% last year says a lot. I wouldn't give up any of the Big 3, Splitter, Blair, Leonard for him. If we could land him for anything else, give it a shot.
Beno was traded to the Timberwolves. The Kings signed him for the MLE.
