He and Webb never got along. I remember the BJax issue over his abdomen.

Still, was over a decade ago. Grant's rhetoric towards Cuz has picked up from what I've heard.
I'm actually not disagreeing with you, as much as I'm doubting the import of anything Napear has to say at this point. It wouldn't be the first time he's tossed poopoo out just to get the fan base riled up.

From what you've heard from where? Are you basing this on what you've actually heard him say on his show, or based on second-hand interpretations of what he's said? Because, based on my recollection of what I've heard him say, you're misrepresenting his comments somewhat, and I say this as someone who genuinely loathes Napear.

Napear always had issues with players that weren't his buddies. He used to throw chris Webber under the bus on a regular basis. I wish he would just stop with his torching of kings players, because he does nothing to make players want to come to sacto , when your play by play announcer is grilling the teams best players on his radio show everyday.

Feel free to send me the dmc speculation. Link me or whatever. Just curious where it's coming from.
Feels like someone made an ambiguous comment, and everybody started speculating afraid to be left behind and seem insignificant.

Karl is 63. There's not a player, that you can get trading DMC, that will help Kings win more than Boogie in the near future. I'm certain, old George will be vehemently opposed to any trade of Cousins.
 
Im really preparing for the worst this summer. The narrative just says this wont end well and we are in the midst of a future 30 for 30 ESPN documentary narrated by Bill Simmons.

It's the inherent evil of the twenty-four hour news cycle. The market can't bear for there to not be a story, so someone has to make **** up.

We're at the ass end of a lost season; if people weren't wildly speculating on rumors, there wouldn't be **** else to talk about. And, Og forbid, we can't have that!
 
Could just mean he is listening. He has given his all to this franchise and this fan base, what has he gotten in return? This season, in particular, was a maelstrom of lies and bungling ineptitude by the people who are supposed to be 'handling' things. The recent hiring of Coach Karl and Vlade are steps in the right direction. Their first and foremost directive should be talking to him and proving things will be different, that they can now, as currently constructed, be trusted. They have lost the faith of both he AND the fans. If they trade him, they lose my trust entirely, as it would be the most asinine, monumentally stupid move of all time. Their job is to build a team around one of the most amazing talents in the current NBA. Be thankful you have that piece in place and get to it.

But that isn't what he wants; someone on this forum said it perfectly, that he wants glory above all things.
So when Melo takes max to go back to NYK it's cause he doesn't care about winning but when Cousins does it, it's cause he wants glory over money. I'm not saying your not right but I don't think you can say 100% that that's true. At this point in Cousins life (I think he's 24) I assume he wanted the max money and we gave him a guarantee a year earlier than we had to as a sign of faith.

Personally, if someone said that you can win a NBA championship or have 80 million dollars, I would take 80 million dollars. Maybe that's because I didn't have the drive to be one of the best players in the NBA and those guys naturally think differently...
 
What? Grant said that?

I've said before what Grant says can be quite dangerous as he does have insight and is a mouthpiece.

To a certain extent, this organization doesn't deserve Cuz. Time and time again they've shown great examples of how not to treat your franchise player. Given Grant is handed talking points, this to me comes across as yet another leak painting Cuz in a negative light. Why is the question.
Why would you paint anyone in a negative light who walks around the court scowling and arguing with the refs constantly? I love Cousins play. But short of a couple of weeks at the beginning of this season he has appeared to be difficult all the time. I hope he stays and becomes the best Center in the league. But if he goes I couldn't say I didn't understand why. They just need to get a good deal for him. And Grant needs to STFU!
