DeMarcus Cousins demands trade

[Plowright]

just wondering whether anyone would think this trade would work?

+ i was thinking maybe we could give them the portland pick 2013 in exchange for there 2012 pick

but then again he might not be on the trade block just read this


Sports Illustrated’s Sam Amick, however, spoke to Cousins’ agent and reports that the second year star did not demand a trade.

“DeMarcus never demanded a trade,” Cousins’ agent, John Greig told SI.com. “I’m surprised the Kings, if they believe the player wanted a trade, wouldn’t have made a phone call to his representative. Maybe Westphal is just feeling the heat early this season.”

No link, you have to do the trade and then copy and paste the link they give you

it was basically diaw and augustin for cousins and isaiah thomas thanks for the advice I wont make that mistake again

Not sure why there is a separate trade board. You'd get more participation if you left it on the main board. It's separation for separation's sake.

man, if we still had Oakley on staff i'd be all over this idea!!!... the Kings would be dumb to give him up for anything we would offer though. i mean this is the reason he fell to them at #5, you have to presume some bumps in the road ahead.

When Larry "Everyone's Available" Brown was still here pushing Higgins around there were so many trade rumors and people making up trades that it necessitated the separate board. It also helps to discourage a barrage of completely made up espn trade machine posts. Happens frequently once the losing starts.

Don't know why people look at which board it's on anyway. "New Posts" link FTW

It would be nice to have Cousins, he's definitely talented. I just don't know if we have the right environment for him where we wouldn't have many of the same issues they have in Sactown. Maybe Silas could keep him in line. I'm sure if Silas told him to go ahead and shoot to his heart's desire that might help. But I doubt things would work out here.

I also don't know if we have anything that desirable. DJ is a good piece as is Diaw, but dunno how appealing they are to the Kings. They already have a bunch of high scoring outside players: Tyreke Evans, Marcus Thornton, Jimmer. Maybe if they view DJ as being a good distributor for those guys. And Diaw's expiring isn't that enticing to a team already flush with cap space. The best, and seemingly fair, trade for both teams would probably be DJ, Tyrus, and the Portland pick for Cousins.

Most likely he'll end up on some other team. I think Houston might be the most logical fit. I just have no idea what Cousin's value is around the league, especially with the Kings making those public statements. It would definitely be interesting if we managed to snag him.

Is Cousins:

- hopelessly insane
- really crazy
- a little eccentric
- very immature with little hope of growing up.
- slightly immature and just needs a little more time and guidance to mature.

Which of these categories are we working with?

Possibly all of the above. But when you add in "extremely talented with a very high ceiling", it becomes a very interesting question as to whether you take a shot at trading for him. I understand those who are opposed as well as those like myself who would dearly love to have him here.

I want him. He fills a need would immediately get 30 plus mins a night. New start, one of the most like-able coaches in the league. He would fit in with our young core. Do it I say! I just hope we could send them our headcase (tyrus) in exchange.

DJ and Tyrus our 2013 portland pick with their 2nd comming back to us?
