Demarcus Cousins Suspended Indefinently should we take a chance?

[Who]

I don't know why people equate a minor suspension with a team trying to move a player.

It makes no sense to me. It's a little tiny largely insignificant incident ... and this is supposedly going to push the team into dumping one of the best big man prospects in the league? Come on now.

It's not happening.

Being suspended indefinitely is not a small incident.

It's only indefinite because they haven't decided how long to suspend him yet. He'll be back in a few days.

It's not serious.

And you KNOW this inside information how?

Because it is a minor incident.

I want Cousins so bad. Melo, Bradley and a 1st

He's completely off his rocker. But it sounds like they are trying to basically dump him. I question if there's a strong market for him after all these issues but i hope we at least take a shot. He would pair well with Rondo but it would take a real veteran team like the C's to reel him in.

I agree that he'd be great with Rondo but I don't see any hint of them wanting to move him.
He's their golden hope and they're hoping they get a veteran presence of some kind in a player or coach that can guide him on the Kings.

We have no chance of getting him with our pieces because they make too much money. The only Irish chance would involve taking back one of their overpaid scrubs with him and us giving them Bradley, Sully, Melo, picks and Lee.

This is the cool head. It's not a Marbury situation yet.

5 small incidents are equivalent to one major problem.

agree.  You'd have to offer Rondo to get the trade done anyways.

He had issues with the last coach. And they fired him. His suspensions this year include confronting Sean Avery (Spurs announcer)and low-blowing O.J. Mayo.

They seem to be at the end of the rope if you ask me. He's clearly not in a situation that beneficial to him or the team in any way. The suspension is "indefinite" as well. This after he was benched the entire second hal of last nights game and told not to even come back out on the bench.

I think it's very possible they are forced to move him.

I agree with Who, this is a minor incident that in no way signals trade. If they really did want to trade him, they wouldn't suspend him and drop his value.

In all fairness to Cousins though, after listening to Sean Elliot call the celtics-spurs game, I understand the impulse to attack him after the game.

As for the low blow, our own Ray Allen had a good one last year, and how many does Wade get away with every year?

Yep. The problem is, given all this, why would he want him? He's had problems with pretty much everyone he's worked with, so I'd hazard a guess he's the cause -- not some sort of a "situation" he's in.

The reports said what it was - a verbal argument between Cousins and his coach during halftime after being criticized.

Cousins has quickly come out and apologized for his actions. Admitted his wrong doings. Said he should have accepted what was said against him and kept his mouth shut.

Exactly the reaction the team wanted from him. This is all but over already.

All this is is a teaching incident. An opportunity for Sacramento to continue to shape and mold Cousins' temperament and discipline. Nothing more, nothing less.

It's not like we have a lot to offer and I'm not trading Rondo for him.

Don't know if this has been posted elsewhere, but:

Green/Sully/Melo for Cousins/salmons may provide a framework for both sides.

What you guys are overlooking is there has been a number of "minor incidents". After a while they start to add up.

I distinctly remember going over these same scenarios last year when Cousins was having his issues with Keith Smart. The Kings ultimatley sided with Cousins and dumped the coach. Rightfully so.

This is now his second coach he seems to be feuding with. At some point they are gonna have to put their foot down and make some rules in that locker room.

They can't seem to reach "Boogey" and i assume the know the best thing is for them to cut ties and get what they can for him. He clearly needs more of a veteran prescence around him and Boston would be perfect.

It's clear he's not a good influence in that locker room and they will have to cut ties. Get it done Danny. Silence the doubters!

So why even have the discussion then? I hope no one would give up Rondo for Cousins.
