Sports Illustrated Interviews Cousins

"They wanted to get to know me but they were scared because of my reputation," Cousins said. "I felt like it was bad on their part. I'm your player and you don't take the time to get to know me? You just go by what the rest of the world says?"

And now?

"No, I'm still not [given a chance]," Cousins said. "It flip flops. When everything is good, [the organization] is good. When things go bad, there is nothing about that good person they remember. I just want that balance. You are either with me or you're not."

Cousins scoffs at the notion that he might have anger management issues and says he was offended when the Kings suggested he seek counseling.

"I took it as an insult," Cousins said. "That's another thing, our organization doesn't even know me. They were looking for an excuse. I don't believe that is the way to solve issues. I'm an emotional guy. It's as simple as that."

For some perspective on the technical fouls.

Back in 2000

Vlade was second in the NBA with 18
Jason Williams and Cwebb were 11th in NBA with 13

If you look around year to year back then you will see both Vlade and Cwebb getting their fair share..

And for the record the most Cuz has had in a year was 14

Rasheed Wallace has had as many as 41 in a single season.

If you ask me our new coach, our GM, and our owners have even more to prove than Cuz has.

Hopefully the saga concludes well for us fans here.
