Kings draft Cousins

[=LarryLegend=]

DO NOT TRADE DEMARCUS!!

Cousins, Landry, Tyreke beasts.....now bring back Brockness!! all beast 1st team.

 

[King-Da-Yah]

He is cheaper then if we got him at #2 as well

 

[Showtime]

Beno/Garcia
Evans/Garcia
Donte/Casspi
Landry/JT
Sammy/Cousins

Looking good.

 

[Superman]

I am so ecstatic! Cousins is dominant. Cousins and Evans are 2/3rds of the puzzle to building a championship team.

Think of this lineup...

C-Cousins
PF-Thompson
SF-Casspi
SG-Evans
PG-Beno

That's a 35 win team next year, and a playoff team the year after!!!

With Landry, Cisco, Greene and Dalembert off the bench. Or whoever starts wherever, this team is a lot better than it was two years ago.

 

[Gary]

"08:03 PM: RUMOR: Wojnarowski reports that the agent for Cousins would have made it clear his client didn't want to play for Golden State if Kings didn't pick him."

What's with that rumor on the http://realgm.com/#ixzz0rosBuXs8 site..

Weird.

 

[jimbodan]

Woot! So happy, now we had better not trade him. DMC and Tyreke could be very special.

 

[Chupacabra]

So our bigman rotation is Cousins/Dalembert/Thompson/Landry?! WOW! Thats quite the committee.

 

[asakkings]

We have a beast of a frontline, now just add some shooters and we will be set.

 

[JerN820]

Wow. I can't believe it. In the span of a week we went from a front line of Hawes, Thompson, Landry to...

DeMarcus Cousins, Samuel Dalembert, Landry, and Thompson....

wow. And we shed Noc's contract.

Wow. Petrie... got give it up to that guy.

Couldn't have said it better myself

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I had him 2nd overall, I'm beyond ecstatic about this pick.

 

[NME]

Awesome, couldn't have worked out better given where the lottery balls fell. I think it's much like last year where we got the same guy we would and should have taken if we were at #2. I don't think we would have been wrong taking Cousins if we'd ended up at our natural #3 spot, maybe even #2.

It might be a little roll of the dice, but this is the kind of roll I like. How often do you get a shot at a monster full-sized center with real talent? Pretty much never until now, if you're the Kings.

 

[Gary]

How much money do we have to spend on a free agent?

WTB a shooter! If we can give max or near max money to a FA we will be set.

 

[CruzDude]

Ya gotta love it!!! Now if he can be coached the sky's the limit for the kings.

 

[r3ali5t]

Its good to be a Kings fan!! I cant wait until next season starts, the dynamic of our team has morphed from squishy and soft to gritty and tough! it's possible we might be proud owners of back 2 back ROYs by the end of next season! Please Petrie do not trade this guy!!

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Big risk=Big reward......well hopefully!

No denying the talent and I think Coach W has shown that he is not hesitant to deal with players to extend their role off the court, should that be a problem.

 

[NME]

DO NOT TRADE DEMARCUS!!

Yikes, what's this talk?

I'm not near a radio. Have the Kings made their big "We got our guy" speech yet?

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

I'm optimistic about this pick. Cousins doesn't have to be a franchise player, we have a solid guy in Dalembert so Westphal can enforce some minutes discipline, and its unusual to find a lot of talent at the C position. Put him next to JT and you have a pretty good rebounding front-line.

 

[Liguid]

Yes! definitely the pick i wanted! we need a big man and we got one!

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Yikes, what's this talk?

I'm not near a radio. Have the Kings made their big "We got our guy" speech yet?

Yes.

Petrie has address the media.

Gavin Maloof has addressed the Kings faithful at Arco

And Kings.com has Cousins all over the website.

 

[Glenn]

How much money do we have to spend on a free agent?

WTB a shooter! If we can give max or near max money to a FA we will be set.

As best as I can tell they will have $15-18 million of cap room.

 

[KingsInBrazil]

Wellcome big cuz!!!!!!!!!!

Now all we need is go after either joe jhonson or rudy gay and we're set for a playoff run!

Damn i'm so excited about this team again!!!

 

[JB_kings]

This is why they call him Chad Fraud. From his twitter:

chadfordinsider Great pick for Kings. For a second straight year Kings may have the Rookie of the Year.

 

[NME]

Yes.

Petrie has address the media.

Gavin Maloof has addressed the Kings faithful at Arco

And Kings.com has Cousins all over the website.

Good, no takebacks now!

 

[Jechtsphere]

Yikes, what's this talk?

The rumor was Pistons were still trying to pry Cousins from us after the Monroe pick. Obviously we said GTFO

 

[Arco Arena]

Fun Cousins fact: He doesn't have a driver's license.

No worries about him getting a DUI or speeding ticket.

 

[djsnaz]

Here is what I think about Cousin Harold...

 

[Chupacabra]

I think most of the capspace that the Kings have should be saved for resigning a few players that are already here. Let this team mature for a couple years and at the right moment acquire that 3rd piece to go with Evans/Cousins.

[Peter_Gibbons]

The basketball gods are definitely on our side again this year.

We dropped to 4th last yr and got the best player.

We dropped to 5th this yr and I feel we got the best player (size/talent/skills wise) again.

 

[The Hammer]

ya gotta love it!!! Now if he can be coached the sky's the limit for the kings.

of course he can be coached!!!! I'm ****ing sick and tired of this crap! He's ours now! His college coach loves him! His college coach's wife loves him!!! He can be coached!!! Damn!!!!!!
