Demarcus Cousins demands trade...Suns Interested?

Cousins apparently requests trade after clashing with Westphal. I view Cousins as somewhat of a headcase, but also young and able to change.

Cousins Demands Trade From Kings
Jan 01, 2012 6:57 PM EST


DeMarcus Cousins has formally requested a trade and has been directed not to attend tonight’s game against the Hornets.

Kings coach Paul Westphal released the following statement:

“Whenever a new season begins, in any sport, there is great hope that everything will progress in only a steady, upward direction. As we all know, it seldom happens like that in this life!

“As coaches, we can only ask that our players do everything they can to improve themselves as individuals and teammates. If they do this with all their hearts, we live with the results.

“Everything that happens on a team does not become known to the public. This is how it should be. However, when a player continually, aggressively, lets it be known that he is unwilling/unable to embrace traveling in the same direction as his team, it cannot be ignored indefinitely.

“DeMarcus Cousins has demanded to be traded. In the best interest of our team as we go forward, he has been directed by me, with the support of management, to stay home from the New Orleans game tonight.”

Should Suns try to get him as our future center?



Suns: Gortat
Kings: Cousins, filler

Young core of
C DeMarcus Cousins
PF Markeiff Morris
SF Harrison Barnes from this years draft (Suns are tanking...!)
PG Daddy Nash to shepard and mold his young flock.
SG Eric Gordon, or James Harden

If the WireTap report is true, Suns might have a chance to get a future stud C.....

What do you guys think?

We are talking about this is the designated trade thread.

Lopez/2nd for Cousins. His trade value is rather low. Basically he is a younger Blatche.

I'd give up Gortat in a heartbeat for him.
