Cousins suspended...again

[wildturkey]

DeMarcus Cousins has been suspended from the Kings yet again for being an immature little bitch. So...would you trade for him?

 

[GenJac]

You guys hear that Demarcus Cousins is running his mouth again? "not to sound arrogant, but" ummmmm...... sounds quite arrogant. Just another "one and doner" who believes he invented the game.

HELL YES I WOULD TRADE FOR HIM. ONE OR TWO SUSPENSIONS A WEEK FOR DEFENDING HIM IS WELL WORTH IT FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE

He might be rough around the edges right now, but with the right coaching, he will grow up.

Oops, I mean to say one or two suspensions a season - not week -

Don't feel bad - you weren't the only one, but yes I would trade for him - He's an awesome player now.

He's been my best fantasy player this season - he's a pretty decent center man - If you could match him up with a shooting guard and point of high quality - you would have a contender

I don't see why you wouldn't trade for Cousins if you had any faith in your front office and need for a center. He clearly has talent. Most of his issues are with how the goat rodeo that is the Sacramento Kings is run. Give the guy a decent environment to play in and I bet you see an All Star.

Posted before I realized this thread was 3 years old. He still wouldn't be my first choice, but yeah, I'd trade for him now if the Lakers couldn't get Marc Gasol or someone like that.

never said he doesn't have talent. clearly he does. but is the guy over being a headcase? that's the part i question...

keep in mind we(the Lakers) thought at one point Ron Artest had gotten over being one. then he downed James Hardin with one elbow shot...

can't be too careful...

So you are being cautious over one bad event in 4 years with a team in which he helped them win a ring?

That would be a trade off I think many would be willing to pay.

Plus, who doesn't want to elbow Hardin in the head

I would - his numbers are good and he's established himself as a solid defender in the paint with those shots to Hardin. I can live with that. He is averaging 23 ppg and 12 rpg, is 6-11, weighs 270 pounds and is only 24 years old. I think the Lakers would be flat stupid to turn down him. He's a solid center which would make it fun to watch
