re: AD: Demarcus Cousins went “from a teammate to an enemy”

AD did an interview not too long ago talking about how making money is very important to him.

He's signing the supermax without a doubt, and once that happens, it's almost impossible to trade someone making that much. He'd have to pull a kawhi, and while AD is quiet and all, he wouldn't want to take that kind of hit to his reputation.

A team would have to have a good bit of cap space, as well as some legit players to send back in an uneven trade for it to be close to possible.
