Westphal statement:"Cousins has demanded to be traded.""He has been directed by me, with the support of mgmt, to stay home from (NO game)”

Obviously he has attitude issues, but is he any more of a boom bust risk than the minny pick?

It was known when he came out that he had serious attitude issues....not surprising

I'd rather trade our own pick. It will still be in all likelihood a top 10 pick. I think that would absolutely be worth it to the Kings.

the thing about a trade, both parties have to actually want to do the deal.

Here's a write up of his rookIe year. LINK / I said before last draft he was Derrick Colemanesque and that seems to be the case. If he ever gets his head on straight he'll be a beast, but that still seems like a big if.

He's a nutcase, I don't think there is any question about that. Adding him at 21 to pair with Gordon at 22 years old in my mind would be worth it, as long as it was our pick and not Minny's pick (or put in the clause they get the lesser of the two picks.) However, judging by Monty and Dell's history it does not appear they are willing to take take chances on headcases like him.

Minny pick won't infect other players with it's shitty attitude.

not everyone can play for the Lakers, Heat, Celtics, Knicks, whatever. these players need to learn that what they have is an amazing opportunity. make millions to play a game.

too bad very few of them see that.

He's three games into his 2nd year on a team loaded with young talent. Who give a frick about the team anyway suck it up and be a man.

In loud exchange with Paul Westphal on Saturday after NY loss, some Kings heard DeMarcus Cousins yelling, "Trade me now," sources tell Y!

Not what I'm saying. The Kings are a bad organization, right now. The team was booed repeatedly in the previous contest. I'm sure it's not all that fun playing with Team Tyreke, MT5 and Jimmer.

The Kings and Wizards remind me so much of each other. Bunch of really good young talent but just to many knuckleheads on one team to be any good.
