Demarcus Cousins Suspended Indefinently should we take a chance?

[Celts Fan 92]

once again da Sacremento Kings have suspended Demarcus Cousins for unprofessional behavior nd conduct detrimental to da team. Seems like no matter who da coach in Sacremento is he's clashin wit em. Maybe he's tired of losin nd playin wit a bunch of chuckers. Despite his issues he's a guy who averaged 18 nd 11 nd can give dis team a post game nd rebounding sumthin we need BADLY. we would have to give up either Bradley or Sully to a team already loaded wit guys at those positions but Cousins can have a huge impact here nd could potentionally do betta wit a change of scenery. Doc could reach him nd Rondo could get him da ball in spots where he likes it. He's neva been around a group of vets who wont tolerate his tantrums. SO question is would u take a chance on bringin in da talented but volitile big man or would u pass on bringin him here?

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 would take him in a second!! Being around a veteran team like the Celtics may help him.

Yes I'd take a chance on him.  He's gonna be one of those players like Rasheed and Randolph who are headcases, but eventually the talent wins out and they find themselves as the best player on a very good team.

I honestly think demarcus cousins is the best center in the game.

u kno who else had a rought start in da league despite his talent before he eventually found his home? Zach Randolph all it takes is someone to reach Big Cuz so he can finally break out nd stay outta trouble

not production wise but skill wise if he puts it all together i can see dis being true in da future

I'd offer:

Lee - 5 mil
Bradley - 1.6 mil
Sully - 1.4 mil
Melo - 1.2 mil
Unprotected 2013 1st rounder (could be a lotto pick with how we're going)

For:

Evans - 5 mil
Cousins - 3.8 mil

... Sacramento would starting laughing and hang up on us, but if we pulled that off... it would solve pretty much all our problems.   I think Cousins is a bit misunderstood.  Again, he reminds me of a Zach Randolph or Rasheed...  he desperately wants to win.  His clashing last year with the coach was because he felt like the coach wasn't doing the right things to put the team in position to win.  Being around a vet team probably would help him.

This roster would be excellent on paper:

PG - Rondo
SG - Evans
SF - Pierce
PF - KG
C - Cousins
---
Backup PG - Barbosa
Backup SG - Jet
Backup SF - Green
Backup PF - Bass
Backup C - Wilcox

No more undersized shooting guards and undersized bigs. Evans is 6'6 220 and only 23 years old.  Cousins 7 feet 270 and only 22 years old.   Those guys with Rondo (26) and Jeff Green (27) would make a nice framework for the future. 

No chance of happening without giving up Rondo, imo.

A glipse of how talented he can be his career high 41 points

Ya great point. It really seems like a change of scenery is the best remedy for him. I am curious to find out what the market is like for him. Especially since i hope we land the guy. Im haveing dreams of him and Rondo in the pick and roll or pick and pop play.

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.

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