[Game] Kings @ Knicks - 3/20/16 - 4:30 PT, 7:30 ET

This is what REALLY drives me nuts. Cousins just can't win. If he plays with too much emotion, he's a loose cannon. If he plays a more controlled game he's given up.

Well, no not necessarily. It's his body language. If he plays with too much emotion, he IS a loose cannon. Whining to refs. Turning the ball over. Complaining instead of getting back on D. Barreling into the opposing team out of control. Not even looking to pass. When he plays a "controlled" game it's fine. But it's not "controlled" in the sense that he has a ton of fire, but he controlling it. It's just that he has less energy. Or has a lackadaisical approach to the game. I'm not saying that's what I saw last night, but I do get that sense overall.

Cousins can't win because he's built a reputation for himself. And it's not a good one. He will go for pennies on the dollar in a trade, because his attitude has lowered his value. This is undeniable. It's why I don't think the Kings will actually end up trading him.
