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.
5 small incidents are equivalent to one major problem.
No, it doesn't. 5 minor incidents are 5 minor incidents.
This won't be the last one of these incidents either. Nowhere close. There will be plenty more to come. Sacramento know this. All this is is a teaching moment. You don't take a character like Cousins and change him overnight. It takes a very long time. This is a long term process that will have plenty of "one step back, two step forwards" "two steps back, three steps forward" kind of moments. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat. Over and over.
And even after the most difficult part of this process ends (well if) and Cousins gets his emotions under better control, there still be the occasional blip now and then for the remainder of his career. It's who he is. They'll just be fewer and further between.
