"Talk to him chuck!"
Cousins doesn't want to talk to him, he said so in an interview with grant.
Huh?
In the video posted of Charles Barkley EJ says "talk to him chuck" as in give him some words of advice.
I was saying Cousins said in an interview with Grant he doesn't like Barkley and wouldn't want to talk to him.
Ah. Well ... that's just Cousins being dumb if you ask me. A player on a team that barely scratches .300, who wants to be an all star and a great player, but doesn't want to hear the advice of the great players before him - that's just plain stupid. If a great player is willing to talk to you, you make time and hear them out. You don't have to follow what they tell you exactly, but at least hear what they have to say and then decide whether it's good advice or not. You don't just shut them off because you don't like them. Maybe Cousins doesn't like Bill Russell and Hakeem either. What an arrogant guy (considering he's achieved nothing in the league).
Interesting that he met with Bill Russell the night of his blow up with Keith Smart.
On the right column, nearly the entire "Western Conference" writeup is about Cousins trade chatter. If Stein is right, and he's got a better national handle than most, it may mean we are going to have to be cheering on, ahem, the Maloofs in this fight:

thanks
As you all know, I've been extremely critical of DMC for his behavior on and off the court. I've also made it known that I don't see him as the franchise player that other highly respected posters here do. At what point do we need to start to be concerned about his play? I know that he's only 22 but this is his third year in the league. He is shooting only 41% from the floor this year and he's not much better than that for his career. He still seems to be stuck when he gets the ball in the post as he has no "go to" move. Last night, he forced up 4-5 horrible looking shots.
Is it really just coaching that could mean the difference with him? To me, it seems like he lets his anger get in the way on the basketball floor. For example, if he drives to the hoop and gets rejected he will continue to do that over and over again just to try and prove that he can be successful at it. He also looks fairly dirty at times on the floor. Last night, in frustration, he practically clawed Tyson Chandler's head off during a loose ball. Then he looked at the referee like he did nothing. And we all know about the OJ Mayo incident. Seems like he isn't getting a whole lot of respect from other players around the league.
I'm really not trying to be controversial. I truly do want to see him succeed. I want us to be relevant again! I'm just looking for some good feedback on why people here think he will break out of this cycle and become one of the best players in the NBA.

Accountability in your world may be stupid, but it ain't in mine. Responsibility isn't stupid either. Nor respect. Nor trust. Just go ahead with your pandering, your wishy-washiness, and your enabling and see how far that takes Cousins.
My guess is this roster has a month to turn things around before we start making moves. Despite everything that's happened this year, we're still only 4.5 games behind the 3 teams tied for 8th in the West with 53 games left in the year. There's still time to turn the season around if we start playing better basketball right now. The last 3 games have shown us playing better ball and that has to continue.
Detroit is highly interested? Well, it would cost them Drummond at the least. Too bad we could have just drafted him, though.
Grant and Jerry mentioned it during the broadcast, it was actually the phoenix game where he met russell.
From Realgm todayThe Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons are two teams that have made it clear they are highly interested in DeMarcus Cousins if and when he becomes available, according to front office sources.
Still, Cousins assuredly has plenty more teams interested in acquiring him from the Sacramento Kings.
Wonder why Detroit is interested when they got 2 potential good big men in Monroe/Drummond
well they loved him on draft night.
because they want to win multiple championships in the next decade wiht the best frontline in basketball?
In truth I wonder if they would be dangling Drummond in the deal -- I just don't see what else they could even reasonably offer. Cousins/Monroe seem slow and non-defenisve, but they would be the most skilled frontcourt since Webb/Vlade. Not even sure how I feel about that. I'm gorwing more agitated by the wekk at having baltantly blwon what hsould have been our Cousins/Drummond frontcourt of the future. To end up losing one ot gain the other when we should have both would just be beyond galling.

im really sorry i switched off kings basketball about a week and abit ago.... is he deffo going???
My predictions every year before the draft
Steals of the draft
2012
1st round - Royce White/Andre Drummond
2nd round- Jae Crowder
Biggest Bust
2012- Damian Lillard
Players I Dislike
2012- Jeremy Lamb
We could only hope they want to flip us Monroe for Cousins. Monroe has been better than Cousins since he stepped into the NBA and doesn't come with any off the court issues.
