Plus Horford, AB leadership. IT4 has said he can tame the big fella as well

Like he did in Sacramento? Can you post the link of the quote you said Thomas made? You have the knack to say players made statements that they never actually made.

any more questions?

Sacramento imo will be ready to unload on cousins via trade deadline

trade

To Sacramento:   Amir, Rozier, Mickey, Yabusele, Brown, 2018 Nets 1st, 2019 Celtics 1st

Actually, yes because Thomas never said he can tame him as you stated. What he said verbatim was, "When I was with him, I didn’t back down," Thomas told Sporting News. "I’m a point guard and that was my job. No matter if we did or didn’t get along off the court, on that court we were going to get along, and I was going to hold him accountable. That’s just how it is. It’s how I’ve always been. And he respects me for doing that."

Again, did it really seem that Thomas "tamed" him during his 3 seasons in Sacramento?

Isaiah Thomas knows he can keep DeMarcus Cousins in line if Celtics trade for him

Exactly, that's the article's title. That does NOT mean Thomas said that. It's what the writer, and you in this case, are projecting. If you read through the actual body of the article, not just the title, you see that Thomas never said that.

I don't doubt Thomas won't back down from Cousins. However, did that do anything to "tame the big fella" in his 3 years with him in Sacramento? 

In his 3 seasons with Thomas in Sacramento Cousins finished top 5 every year in technicals:

Year 1 - 5th
Year 2 - 3rd
Year 3 - 1st
