One AND ONLY Cousins trade rumors thread

[sdballer]

Carmichael Dave knows precisely as much about what the Kings brain trust is thinking right now as any of us do, which is not much.

BS. I don't always agree with Dave's style but he's called our moves with regularity.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Lol so when it seems they actually got it right by hiring a reputable, HOF caliber coach....it actually may backfire on them in typical Kings fashion, if Woj's piece is to be be believed.

Some of us were a least a bit hesitant on the Karl hire in the first place...

Except, once again there were a number of us that called this exact problem when everyone else said he's a HOF coach, it can't go wrong

 

[c-webb1s#1]

I'm not going to panic unless I get more info. With that said if this is true you have to get rid of GK. However, with the whole Pete spin that came out of Denver from woj I think we may still may have hope it's not true. I trust in vlade to resolve this...cause if one man can. ..it's him!

 

[Double-K]

Value needs to fix this immediately by coming out with a No Trade Cousins statement, loud and firm. Other "sources" are just going to create more crap.

I found it!

Another batch of quotes from Vlade and other information via Voisin http://www.sacbee.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/ailene-voisin/article25093420.html:

"Additionally, he scoffed at rumors suggesting he would consider trading his All-Star center.

“That is not happening,” Divac said forcefully"

 

[Sam0ah]

Man, wish were in season so we could have fire Karl chant in the arena. Karl really needs to go.

 

[hrdboild]

BS. I don't always agree with Dave's style but he's called our moves with regularity.

What has he specifically gotten right before it was reported nationally? It seems to me his schtick is insinuating things loosely enough that he can retroactively claim "told you so" no matter what happens.

 

[NewArena]

LOL @ choosing Karl over Cousins

Cousins is his best chance to win, and he wants him gone? what an idiot if true

 

[sdballer]

That we weren't going to keep Reke, or IT, which were both pretty big moves for us.

 

[gunks]

At this point, I just don't want Cuz traded to the Lakers, because I can't root for them.

Any other team, I'll be a fan of. It's not even about being a Cousins fan at this point.... It's more like, why even root for a franchise that craps all over itself over, and over, and over again. F that. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Vivek, thy name is Maloof.

I'll come back to the Kings if Karl leads whatever scrubs we get for Cuz to a championship (fat chance).

As @HerringWSJ points out with his RTs, Iguodala, Anthony and now Cousins have tweeted about snakes in the grass. Common tie: George Karl

**** that. We don't have a Curry waiting in the wings.

what a retarded comparison. Dave is just talking just to TALK at this point

The Sacramento Kings fanbase is part of the longest, most elaborate episode of Punk'd in history. Ashton Kutcher plotting his epic comeback.

 

[Livinthedream]

If the Woj story is true you can't move forward with Karl and trade Cuz. You would have let Karl hijack the team. Vlade becomes irrelevant after that because it would be obvious Karl is calling the shots and Vlade is powerless to stop it.

Vlade has to put his big boy pants on. Hope he's being paid well.

 

[VladFather]

CD says 70% chance Cuz gone this summer. 90% by deadline.

I'll trust Vlade/Viveks's statements more than CD's opinion here. There is definitely fire here, but I don't take the repeated comments by Vlade/Vivek lightly. There is no easy way out of this mess, but there is a way out. To be great you have to think outside the box and sometimes do something a little crazy. That crazy needs to be firing your third coach in a year.

 

[sdballer]

what a retarded comparison. Dave is just talking just to TALK at this point

Wait and see how the cheerleaders respond when Cuz is actually traded. Suddenly, it will be all about how we weren't winning anyway, how you can't have a cancer in the locker room, how Karl is a HOF'r. The spin will increase over the next few weeks and be in full-blown mode once the move finally happens.

Vlade & Karl know what was said. Easy to refute if untrue. If it is true & leaked... At this point drastic measures. Fire people. No more BS

 

[John Galt]

Maybe Vivek and Vlade are on the phone with DMC making sure that a Karl firing will clean the slate. God I would love to wake up to a "Karl fired - Boogie is IN" news flash.

Someone pointed out that Iguodala's tweet was in reference to Mark Jackson being fired and Steve Kerr being hired as his replacement.

 

[VF21]

Oops. My bad.

John ‏@HeuristicLineup 1m1 minute ago
BTW, that Iguodala tweet was said when he was under contract with the Warriors lol. Has nothing to do with George Karl

For real. This is Karl vs the World right now.

Cousins wants to stay in Sac.
The fans want Cuz to stay in Sac.
The owner and team president want Cuz to stay in Sac.

You can't fire Karl, but you can put him in his place. He's forgotten he's an employee.

****. We lose a cancer GM and gain a cancer coach.

Our franchise needs chemotherapy.

 

[VF21]

Sorry for any errors. This stuff is pretty hard to keep up with, especially when I'm trying to reach out to a few people at the same time...

There is only one snake, Pete D'Alessandro.

 

[hrdboild]

That we weren't going to keep Reke, or IT, which were both pretty big moves for us.

So he got word of a possible deal a few hours before it happened... that qualifies him to say there's a 70% chance DeMarcus is gone before next season? Those were also both Pete D'Alessandro moves - and we know Dave communicated with Pete because that's how Pete works. Leak the information first and use the media to sell your slant before it happens. I seriously doubt either Vlade or George Karl is keeping Dave informed.

Cousins isn't going anywhere IMO. I just hate and i mean HATE that we let rumors like this continue without making some sort of statement. Vlade isn't enough. I need for Vivek, Coach, AND Vlade to serve up a united front and make an announcement together. Deem him untouchable and do it NOW.

I've had it with them letting **** fester for months and months. Im disgusted, and have been since December of last year

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Pete's trying to get the "last word" in, before he moves on with Denver. What a low class move. I'm sure Malone is thrilled to be back on the same ship with that fool

It just happened late at night. Lets see if they make a statement tomarrow

 

[randymoss1881]

If they pick Karl over cousins every home game better not have anybody in it. Enough is enough

  I love you guys but a lot of you @kings fans go off the deep end based on very very sketchy information. Breathe. Stop. Think. #nbakings

  @MarcosBreton @kings agreed but when your star player starts posting snake in the bushes tweets it's time for anger

  @iamSacTownKing @kings Right, but you don't know who he is talking about. Maybe his snake doesn't live in Sacramento anymore?
