100%, if anyone thinks otherwise they are Celtic haters/mad that Celtics would actually be good.

i hope it happens, i dont even like Cousins but KG, Cousins with Rondo feeding the ball and Pierce on the wing :x

 

[essential1]

what is it about tossing someone's shoe that makes your shot wet

Guy defending you is now shorter

 

[awwsome]

Some GREAT match-ups tonight.
Kyrie vs. Deron
OKC vs. Harden/Lin
Boston vs. W's
Hornets vs. Bobcats....... x yeah right...)
Looking forward to the OKC game the most. How about you guys?

Deron will be skating tonight.

I expect OKC to get the W again but not as easy this time, Houston just coming off a rough loss, they'll be motivated.
This dude Harden though , always loved his game but didn't think he'd ball out this quickly in H-Town.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Chris Paul is 1st in steals/game. 2nd in assists per game and 60th in minutes per game .

business as usual

Last thing the C's need is another mid-season trade IMO.

I still believe we could've won it all in 2011 if ****ing Danny Ainge hadn't traded Perk >:

I like Cousins, but the current group is apparently still 'jelling'.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

"jelling"

Bet DMC helps them gel and win at the same time. Solid p/u if Ainge knows whats best for that franchise.

Oh it happened. Solarius was the leader of it, but kats were trying to group JH as all these other low %, chucking *** single dimension guards. I'll try to find it, but if I haven't after 3 minutes you just gonna have to take my word for it

It didn't make the transition from yuku but I found it. It was Shuges, not Solarius though.

thanks for clarifying lol sheesh


but James Harden has been a real surprise to me this year. I thought he would be ok, but he has been GREAT

Remember last yr when you dudes were trying to say James Harden was the same as Marcus Thornton, Ben Gordon, Jason Terry and Lou Williams *** guards?

I remember I said something along the lines of me expecting the Kings to take Harden, but really really didn't want him. Oh well

Marc Stein saying pretty much the same thing that Chad Ford said.... Boston & Detroit will push hard for Cousins. There will be a lot more teams, but those 2 will be most engaged.

Maloofs don't want to trade Cuz 1. Because they are afraid to get rid of him. 2. His trade value is lower than it should because of behavioral issues.

But the GM seems to want to get rid of him for a couple veterans and a younger guy as well.

Dog, just copy and paste the whole thing 

The early word from the DeMarcus Cousins trade watch, according to the latest rumbles on the personnel grapevine, is that Kings co-owners Gavin and Joe Maloof remain reluctant in the extreme to part with their young big man, especially at a time when -- after three suspensions already this season -- Cousins' trade value isn't exactly on the upswing.

There's a growing sense among potential suitors that under-fire Kings general manager Geoff Petrie, who has overseen zero trips to the playoffs under five coaches in the six-plus seasons since Rick Adelman left town, would  be willing to move Cousins, preferably in exchange for a dependable veteran of quality or two who could bring some instant improvement to a franchise stuck in lottery land and still plagued by an uncertain future in terms of where this team will be calling home in the long term.

Yet it's believed that the Maloofs just aren't ready yet to entertain the idea of parting with the mercurial center before the Feb. 21 trade deadline, not even after Cousins got suspended for turning on perhaps his biggest non-Maloof supporter in the organization by arguing so heatedly last weekend with Kings coach Keith Smart.

Stay tuned, though. Cousins told USA Today's Sam Amick earlier this week that he won't be pushing for a trade, but Cousins' new agent -- Dan Fegan -- has a contentious history with Petrie after the Kings passed on Ricky Rubio to select Tyreke Evans in the 2009 draft. Trade speculation involving Cousins, now that Steve Nash has returned to calm the Trade Pau hysteria in Lakerland for the moment, is bound to be new favorite sport in 2013 in the slice of the Twitterverse devoted to the NBA.

Front-office sources say that Boston and Detroit, just to name two teams, have let it be known that they are highly interested if and when Cousins does become available. Rest assured there will be more.

Even after all the warnings about the 22-year-old coming out of Kentucky and all the bad shots he's hoisted in Sacramento, where he doesn't seem interested in listening to anyone and also suffers from the lack of a proven point guard who can make the game easier for him, Cousins will continue to draw considerable interest because there are so few young bigs these days with his size, skill and mobility.

SHUGES has been doubting Harden since Arizona State. Figures.

^^^DMC must have gotten a death threat the day before or something


@ [COLOR=#red]solarius49[/COLOR] gettin mistakenly thrown under the bus.

 

[quell]

Avery Bradley + Sullinger + picks for Demarcus Cousins and some PTBN

I believe its a done deal. Just have to work everything out.

 

[addict4sneakers]

kings need picks, not players.

i don't know how they are going to deal DMC and get something of value in return

I'd rather see players rather than picks at this point. We got a young enough team as it is

 

[quell]

Avery Bradley is a nice piece. Not a star but youre getting the best defender in the NBA

Sully has shown that he will be a SOLID player. If I'm the Kings I ask for Fab Melo who's been beasting in the D League as well

 

[pmatic]

@APkrawczynski Brandon Roy is weighing retirement vs looking for 1 more medical procedure to try to help his knees. He's gone back and forth last 2 days

@APkrawczynski All signs are pointing toward retirement for Roy but it's understandable that he's taking a little extra time to make sure it's best move

@APkrawczynski Problem is there is no magic pill or surgery to cure what ails Roy. So we all know where this is headed

Good job, good effort.

indeed. but jared sullinger isn't a veteran by any means. if you're going to deal DMC, minus wale get rid of some players. i'd at least throw salmons or outlaw into the deal. kings already have too many guys that do the same thing

That's a horrible trade for the kings but they're going to lose anyway you slice it.

 

[acbboyz84]

this dude always look sad

ZBO + TA for Cousins + Tyreke + Salmons



ZBO's value is high right now and probably will not be that high in the offseason. Cousins next to Marc would be :x . Adding an extra ball handler that can score at the rim would take the pressure off Rudy trying to be a playmaker. Grizz get something for TA instead of losing him for nothing in the offseason when he's a free agent.

Kings get better by adding two vets. Hollinger likes Tyreke too.


Do it Hollinger!

 

[mjshoefanatic]

^You think it's worth giving up Zbo for Big Cuz????

son, Brandon Jennings and Larry Sanders is a MUCH better offer
