Nah, the NBA has a proven track record of knucklehead indulgence that rivals the Italians. If Ron Artest and Allen Iverson can play a combined 28 seasons then I'm certain that as long as Demarcus Cousins doesn't become a druggie or blow out both knees he'll be a wildly overpaid distraction for at least a decade.

Difference is though that goes guys would get suspended by the league, while Demarcus consistently gets suspended by his own team!!! And he's as talented as Iverson was! Its unreal.

I traded him in my keeper league early in the season for OJ Mayo. Everybody thought I was an idiot. I am laughing now. (Still OJ Mayo aint great, but gosh hes better than cousins.)

The Kings are a freaking disaster right now, they are hands down the worst run franchise in the NBA. There is talk that they could look to deal Cousins. Troll mentioned on another page that he's got himself a new D-bag Agent that is likely agitating the situation trying to get Cousins out of SacTown.

I think they are a prime candidtate for a Houston Rockets style fire sale. Just trade or release everybody, pile up expiring contracts and furture draft picks, sell the team, and let the new owners (your 2013 Seattle Supersonics!!!) start over from scratch.

I don't think Sac's management is that bad-- I just think they are in a position where they're best player may be completely unmanageable! Take Cousins out of the equation and replace him with a player of equal talent and they would be really good. The problem is that they can't trade him for a player of equal talent because everyone knows he's a complete head case! Who is going to take Cousins off their hands? (Orlando?) (Boston?) (Boston has the vets that might be able to deal with him and get him in a workable NBA frame of mind.)

A Jerry Sloan coached Utah Jazz team would've done wonders for him.

No, they are that bad. The Maloofs are jerking the whole franchise around, overriding decisions made by the coaches and GM, playing chicken with the NBA and the city of sacramento. The whole organization is dysfunctional.

I said heading into the draft that his placement was more important for him then any other player in a long time. Usually that depends on the system and how certain players fit with certain systems.

With Cousins I said he needed to be around a bunch of veterans. Now, how many lottery teams does that fit? Im a basketball fan first, and i love bigs. I have been cheering for him from the start. However, the fact that he would be an early lottery pick worried me.

Now, Boston is rumored to be interested. I think he is a perfect fit. KG will get him in the right state of mind. I know KG aint popular anymore, but I think he is the perfect mentor for cousins.

Sacramento is a trainwreck. Who is the biggest trainwreck in the league? Its a 2 horse race IMO between sacremento and washington. Those locker rooms seem like the most poisonous locker rooms in the league. You put that with Cousins, and its no wonder he is not maturing.

Maybe everyone else sees more of the SAC Trainwreck than I see. I see Sac as a small-market team without the history of successful small-market teams (like the Jazz and SA). If Sac were playing in the east, they would have a winning record (IMO) and be playoff contenders (then again, you might say that about any Western Conference team). Sac fans are nowhere near as fanatical as Jazz fans, and it's no wonder the Maloofs want to move the team to the East (Virginia Beach, Baltimore, Pitt, Raleigh, Tampa, Jacksonville, or Nashville?).

As for DC, I think it's interesting he pulled a triple-double out of his *** (hat?) when he played against Boston! Hmm.

Out of all of the teams this year, Sacramento is the hardest team to watch not named the wizards. They would be awful if they played in a European league. There is so much dysfunction there.

I'd put Orlando, Charlotte, and NO as the most unwatchable teams (although with Davis back for NO, they're a little better than completely unbearable). Washington is interesting (if not completely disfunctional) and will be moreso once Wall gets back; and Sac, IMO, is actually more interesting than a lot of teams. Sac can beat any team in the league if Cousins is on, and, they can lose to any team in the league-- Players like J Thompson always seem to help Sac overperform, and Cousins and Jimmer can make a huge difference one way or another on any given night.

I haven't looked at the actual records (so, I may be wrong), but, I stand by my statement that Sac could be a playoff team this year if they were playing in the East.

Orlando is fun to watch. They scrap and claw for everything. Vaugn is doing a great job over there. Charlotte plays hard, but they just have a lack of talent. Sacramento and Washington dont care half the time. NO was 6-3 with gordon last year. Davis has missed half the season with a concussion. Now that those 2 are back they could turn it around.

Head case. give me Favors or Kanter any day of the week. Cousin could have been first pick that year had he not been a freaking headcase!

I agree about NO potentially being watchable. As far as legitimate, I have my doubts. NO and ORL are both in rebuilding modes, so, it's fun to see who can outstand for them (Jammy Jam and Reddick for ORL are fun, and Vasq and Davis can be interesting). SAC, on the other hand, is a better team. I like to watch better teams, even if they're not loaded with superstars. I'm not like what I'm guessing is the NBA's projected demographic, but, I like to watch good teams playing against each other.

Obviously Cousins has a history of bad-boy/stupid interactions with the NBA (all aspects, from coaches, players, interviews, and on- court actions). But, his level of play is a plus when I consider whether or not I want someone to turn it around and overcome their negative traits. We're talking about 20-somethings that still have a chance of turning their lives around. Cousins needs a lot of head-work. His potential as a decent human is intricately tied to his NBA status. I'm all for using the NBA as a means to making Cousins the best he can be.

After only a couple of weeks, Cousins has held it together. He may be a train wreck, but, he may also be a train wreck survivor. If he gets back on track, he has potential to deliver!

The train went off track tonight! Good timing!

He has been fined more than a lot of people make for the year. Idiot and a waste. In time that boy will be locked up and out of the league.

He definitely has some problems. But, I hope he can still turn it around. I don't think he's an idiot, though. Since this thread started, I've paid a little more attention to him, and, he actually seems pretty smart (by basketball standards). He definitely lost it in Utah, but, that was out of frustration (with the refs and the crowd-- not really his own play, as he was playing pretty well). I'm not saying he has a guaranteed future in the NBA, but, he definitely has the talent. Maybe he needs to change his name to Metal Whirled Peas and start all over!

I think you are right about Cousins being smart, he strikes me as a guy that is cometitive, has a decent basketball IQ and is willing to work hard.

I think the problem is that he has the emotional maturity of a 13 year old girl.

I also think being on a terrible team with no firm direction from the front office and no real veteran leadership has probably been one of the worst things for his development.

It's just commons sense really, you don't hand an angry child a loaded gun, you don't give Al Roker a double bacon cheesburger before he goes to a party, and you don't give an talented but self centered and emotionally immature player the label of "franchise centerpiece" before he turns 21 without making him earn it the hard way. Might as well just buy him an affirmation that plays repetedly in his $1000 noise cancelling headphones telling him that the world actually does revolve around him and that it's everybody else who is wrong.

Fortunately for him Coach Smart does seem willing to dish out some tough love on occation, and seems to actually be trying to teach him the right way to play basketball, even while the front office does little but speak affirmations.

No no no Richard. Big difference between a criminal and like Mag said, a guy with the emotional maturity of a 13 year old girl.

I've had Cousins on both my fantasy league teams for the past two years, so I've seen nightly what he can do. They guy literally would be the top Center in the league if he could get out of his own way. He's just an idiot. He really is. I mean getting kicked out the other night because in his own words, he told the ref, AT HALFTIME, to not be an "effing female". Hah, and he didn't think he should get kicked out for it!! Moron!!

But, the thing is, sadly, he's actually getting better. The dude is improving. Scary but true. He's so talented, that he'll never be out of the league. Ron Artest is a much much worse person, and never was this talented, and there he is still playing. And still throwing lethal elbows at Harden, and just the other night upper-cutting Knight.
Cousins is alot of things, but aside from one or two times, he's not been a cheap shot artist. He's just a moronic baby.

Not that its even close to a real idea, but I'd love to get Cousins in Utah, with Millsap, maybe just the rest of this season with Al. Have him on this team with Gordon Hayward. It'd be phenomenal to have him come to this environment. I think Cousins would soar. He just needs to figure another outlet for him, verses going after refs etc.

My prediction, is that in 5 years he's going to be a multiple all star, and talking all about how it took him a long time to grow up, but he's so glad that _______ stayed with him. If the Kings are Smart, they'll stay the course. They really need some leadership there though. I think a new start in Seattle would only help too.

I disagree with him being a future all star. The fans will never vote him in and coaches don't vote guys like that in. So unless he gets his shit under control, he will be a good player, but never really have an all star career. Not to mention the Kings always play better after he gets ejected!

Having said that, I'd like to see Favors play with about half the fire and intensity Cousins does. He would be an animal.

Dunno, Romo, it's looking like the Kings will turn into the Supersonics next year-- and that might make the difference. I don't know how, exactly (different fan-base, change of scenery, maybe even Time). The bigs that might be considered better than Cousins are not as young as he is, and, when they're out to pasture, Cousins has a good shot at filling the void.

He has the talent to be an All Star, I just don't know if he will ever get his head right. Moving to Seattle might help. Sacramento is not a fun place to live.
