Demarcus Freaking Cousins

[VF21]

Any questions?

[baller13]

Yeah. When's his next Meltdown?

[HereWeVivek]

better not trade him

[Spike]

We don't need him against the scrub teams of the league, but we absolutely, positively need him in order to compete against the upper echelon of the league. You're delusional if you don't believe that.

[VF21]

Yeah. When's his next Meltdown?

On this night in Sleep Train Arena he showed some of what he's capable of doing. That's what this thread is all about. It was a tradition back in the days when the Kings won on a more regular basis and it's certainly a tradition I would love to revive. If you can't enjoy the moment, that's your prerogative but a lot of us old-timers like just being able to smile at the end of the game.

[Npliam]

He has potential to do this every night.

[VF21]

He has potential to do this every night.

And that's why you don't give up on him.

[HereWeVivek]

if they do give up on him, im giving up on the organization

[Npliam]

And that's why you don't give up on him.

It depends on if these types of games are becoming more frequent or less frequent. He didn't shoot it well but he was doing other things well. I don't think he is untouchable, especially if the Kings don't think they can re-sign him but the offer would have to be pretty good.

Idle threat. If you have been a fan of this team, for this long, you aren't going anywhere.

Unlimited upside is an overused term. But it really means something because those who don't have it - never will have it. And it very well might be that Cousins just wastes his. But he does have it and there's a very strong chance that if you trade him, what you get in return will not. The only thing worse than watching the guy struggle to get his mind and game sorted out is trading him to another team and watching him get it figured out there and becoming an All Star.

Ride it until it flies or blows up. I'm not interested in watching some never will be cast offs killing roster space. It's not like the Maloofs aren't a bigger distraction anyway.

that's largely because you don't understand what DeMarcus Cousins is. You really don't. Since you don't, and others like you don't, you don't understand his significance to the fanbase. He is the guy you wait for. In 27 years we've seen one other of his ilk, and we got lucky in a trade to get that one. And now the team may not even be around in 5 more if things don't change. DeMarcus might be the last best hope for the entire Sacto era of the franchise.

[Proof21]

Is his middle name really Freaking?

idk. it would be far worse than anything they have done before. trading an aging/injured Webber was pretty bad, but nothing like giving up on a 22 year old with this much potential and talent

My team has had multiple players that were and are better than Demarcus. He is a special talent but he isn't as irreplaceable as you make him out to be.

Then why don't you go post on a jazz board where everyone else can agree how lucky you are to have your players.

Yes, heaven forbid there is an opinion expressed that doesn't agree with yours.

No kidding. What is this? North Korea?!?!

If you are referring to the Kings I disagree with you. Brick is right if CWebb was 1A then DMC is 1B. A Franchise is fortunate to get one talent like DMC a decade.
