I feel sorry for Vlade. Here he is trying to concentrate on the draft and what happens? The crap hits about 20 different fans at the same time. And who stands to win? Possibly the team drafting right after us?

If you trade Cousins you are pretty much saying a coach on a 3 year loan is more important than the best center in the game for the next decade. Of course this is probably the last straw and DMC will formally request a trade soon.

And how convenient would it be if he looked to the one coach he had really respected...who just happens to be in Denver.

Oh wait. Denver again...

The plot sickens (and yes, I mean sickens).

There's not much you can do at this point it's untenable.

They will have to pick their horse or will be throwing two rutting stags into a room together.

Maybe... I still think there's a way out of this where everyone gets what they deserve. Call Wojnarowski's bluff. We've got X number of employees working for us and every single one of them will say under oath that they did not report this. Name your source or stand down. All you really have to do internally is get everybody together and see where they stand. George do you want DeMarcus traded? Vlade would you ever consider it? DeMarcus, you're our guy and you'll always be our guy. We roll with you to the bitter end and we're going to do everything we can to surround you with enough pieces to win a title. Simple. Everyone talks, the truth rules the day.

Heartbreaking for Cousins and this fanbase. Whether any of this is true or not, we are the laughing stock of the league. This FO has been the most poorly-run FO for almost 2 years now.

As others have said, if Cuz goes, I go too. My loyalty, time, interest and money deserves better. And I refuse to support this.

This.

Just to give a perspective of how little success I've experienced as a Kings fan, last time we made the Play-Offs, I was in 2nd grade. I am currently entering my senior year of high school.

Truth? What a quaint concept.

I love the idea.

I'm guessing Rudy Gay is as good as gone as well (which I don't really mind) once/if the Cousins deal goes down.

If this really is more PDA mucking about..I swear to god I have just about had it with him. People think me getting personal with him was just me calling him names and pointing out that I know an operator when I smell one. But I'm about half a step from really making it personal. He's very much mistaken if he thinks he's the only lawyer and poltician who knows how to run a smear campaign.

Brick, I think it might actually be time for you to use that bat.

You know, I can handle losing. Outside of the Webb era, that's all we've ever known. Losing isn't the worst. What I can't handle is a FO continuously setting this franchise backwards with their own moves and time and time again alienating (and possibly losing) the best player this franchise has ever known.

Windhorst, I'd guess, has pretty reliable sources. My guess would be Cousins agents. We'll see.

Randle, #2 (Okafor?), and a future 1st might get it done. Maybe a bad contract like Landry's too since LA can absorb.

Hilarious.

People are underestimating the value of elite talent in the NBA. Due to the nature of the game, if you have a guy that can dominate (esp. in the paint), you cannot cobble together various trade pieces until your pile is high enough and say it's equal. All we'd be doing with that number two pick is hoping he'd be as good as Cousins, which is, let's be honest, an HOF talent. You just don't trade away HOF talents going into their prime! UNLESS... the package is so outrageously good that you can't resist.

Hell... look what Minnesota got for Love!! Cousins is a hell of a lot more valuable than Love.

Frankly even if we get the Lakers pick, the Magic pick, Randle, and two more future firsts... still, no.

Rooting for a sports team shouldn't feel like dating someone with borderline personality disorder.
