Is he a head case? Yes. But he would be an awesome addition to this young team if we can get him. I know DJ and Diaw for Cousins works, but dont know if that gets it done. I would happily give the Kings the right to swap 1st round picks with Charlotte in the draft. They suck too, so the Bobcats would lose only a few spots at worse. But man, would I love Cousins in Charlotte to play with Kemba, Hendo and Biyombo. Silas and MJ should be able to get in his head and get him straight. At least it is worth the risk.

I'd be down with bringing him in - I think an environment with MJ, Coach Silas, Kemba and Hendo would be good for him.

I would worry about him butting heads with T2 and Biz though. I could see practice getting a little heated between those three.

We have those Portland 1st round picks from the Wallace trade - maybe we could dangle one of those?

Think we only have 1 from Portland, that being in 2013.

How is that good for him? Do you really want him corrupting our youngin's with his diva attitude? This boy needs a swift boot to his ass, not coddling. MJ would tear this kid apart, the question is...can he handle it?

Oh, I totally agree - he probably needs about a dozen good kicks in the arse, I just think that playing for an MJ owned team might help keep him in check (respect factor) and MJ is so hands on I couldn't see him putting up with DMC's crap.

Coach Silas would be excellent with him because of his nature and ability to win the trust of his players - plus being an ex-NBA rebounding machine himself I think DMC could really relate to him.

Kemba has that leadership quality - something I think DMC needed in Kentucky and got with Wall - and I think that Kemba's personality is so strong that he could keep him on the straight and Hendo has that work ethic and confidence that I think DMC could learn from.

Seriously though, I think Tyrus would have to go. I could really see those two butting heads and being a really, really poor mix.

13 pts 11 Reb and he just turned 21. Kid is just needing some guidance. But he has HUGE talent and would be a monster get for us. His offense and rebounding next to Biyombo's defense and rebounding would be terrific for Charlotte. When Bosh, Wade and James try coming inside, at least we would have something for them.

Wonder if the Kings might want TT? We might have to take back some money as well.

TT for Cousins and Garcia(they are paying him and not playing him)
Include the Portland first

I hear what you're saying but I think the problem with this guy is that he has some screws loose in his brain. I don't want our coaches having to babysit this guy, that is not their job. Demarcus needs to be a professional and get his sh*t together, but most importantly he needs to want to be coached. Guys like Kemba, Hendo and Biz, those guys love to be coached and that is one big reason why MJ selected them.

Also, Kemba is a rookie, so I cannot see him listening to a rook. At least not now. Having said that, I would still take a chance on him only because it would not really affect us this season. If he acts up then he's gone ASAP.

DJ and your buddy Matt Crap for Demarcus. Get it done Cho.

HELL NO. Not here, he would absolutely tear Kemba and Smack apart and he'd rip Silas a new one before the 2 weeks are out.

Maybe he can play for his own team, the DeMarcus Cousins.

I agree, this is not a player I would want anywhere near my team. Slam almost sweet talked me into thinking there is a slim chance this clown has an attitude adjustment. He's worse than Beasley. Let this pea brain go to Orlando so he can really mess that team up. Better for us next season.

SWedd523 · Post #13 » by **SWedd523** » Mon Jan 2, 2012 3:22 am

I'd consider it if we got an insanely sweet deal. I wouldn't trade DJ and Diaw for him. Diop or Tyrus straight up, maybe.

He would fit well in this team as suggested on the trade board.

I'd pay to watch that team.

I'm not optimistic about him. The guy is just not all there. I wouldn't give up very much to get him which means I probably wouldn't offer enough to get him away from the Kings. I wouldn't, for example give up DJA straight up for him, not because I'm attached to DJ, I just think we can do better.

Post #17 » by **Diop** » Mon Jan 2, 2012 4:15 am

It would definitely be a risk but one I would be willing to take at the cost of Dj, Diaw or Tyrus.

DJ and Diaw for Cousins, get it done Cho

Imagine the locker room fights, would make the Arenas Washington drama look like a Disney movie.
