Napear would trade Boogie for Blake Griffin (split)

Grant is completely on board with trading cousins.
Demarcus is 10 years too late. This is a perimeter league.
We can't get anywhere with a dominate big man.

Because Grant is onboard with trading him?

The whole "its a perimeter game now" thing is silly. There's no magic to it. The ball goes in the hoop or it does not. The ball goes in the hoop plenty for Cousins and for us. The issue is on the other side of the court, and its not a Cousins issue.

If Grant's says it, it must be true... :rolleyes:

There are multiple ways to win a basketball game, in the end, defense wins championships most of the time. That's true in most all sports, and basketball is no exception, even today. Last time I checked, Cuz has the ability to score the ball well and can be a good defender in the right system, and that's not going to change barring injury.

Sorry.
This wasnt my commentary. This is what grant said.

He thinks cousins is 10 years too late. He thinks we're not gonna get anywhere with him.

I'm a fan of some of the most dysfunctional teams in sports. The A's. The 49ers. And I've never heard the tv voice of either of these teams run their best player into the ground. IMO, this is so wrong and unbecoming.

It's also transparently not about basketball. If we had Anthony Davis here he wouldn't be saying that we need to trade him because dominant bigs are sooo last decade. He knows that what he's saying doesn't make any sense and yet he goes on saying it anyway.
 
I say this as a big Cousins supporter but I understand where Grant is coming from.

Not that the Kings should trade Cousins - that part is just stupidity.

But I understand why Napear would say it.

Because clearly he doesn't personally like Boogie and that colors his viewpoint. It's happened with Grant and other Kings players over the years but this is the most obvious example. And maybe there's good reason for that. Cousins looks like he can be an exasperating dude to be around at times. And Grant spends a LOT of time around him.

But the notion that you trade an all-star center because the NBA is currently more perimeter oriented is just dumb.

Until the Warriors won the argument was that jump shooting teams wouldn't win in the playoffs. Things wax and wane but the bottom line is that you have to find a way to beat other teams. You aren't going to out-Warrior the Warriors. But a slow down, defensive minded team with a beast in the middle that can score at will and foul out their bigs? That could be a matchup problem if used properly and with the right supporting cast.

It's a very very sad thing. I'venever seen anything like it either.

And here's more local media eviscertating Cuz.

Seriously, if it came out that Vivek was paying off local reporters to write hit pieces, would anyone be surprised? I mean, even a little? I wouldn't.

Free BOOGIE!

Enjoy this one Cuz haters. Al the greatest hits are played!

Boogie isn't getting traded because nobody has any real confidence in Karl and those owners want people to show up to that new arena.

All of this is just further damaging your own product. It only makes a select bunch of good old boys happy, but it turns away FAs who know what too much of this means about the racial atmosphere of your team and city.
 
And this, in a nutshell, is what drives me insane about Grant Napear. His is part of the broadcast team for the freaking team. There is no way in hell he should be making comments like that, undermining the team, the front office AND DEMARCUS COUSINS.

I know, as usual, the explanation will be that he didn't say it during a broadcast and that his show is totally different. You know what I say? BULLcrap!

This is dishonorable, it is despicable and it is cowardly.
 
This is a non story. We know the love fest between Napear and Cousins. This has become a perimeter oriented league for the time being, until someone knocks the Warriors off with another style of play then that will be the norm for another 2-4 seasons.

Absolutely this is despicable.
The Voice of the team should not be saying this kind of stuff. As I said above, I have not heard it from any of the other teams I follow.

With blake, double that and throw in a vlade size serving of flopping. NO THANKS!!

Theres a reason the clippers play way better without blake.

Thats absurd, they have Chris Paul who is the best PG in the league still and probably still a top 6 player. Hate the guy but he is damn good. Griffin and Cousins are pretty comparable in talent.

Cousins doesn't punch out kings employees. Pretty sure if cousins did that you'd be leading the pitch fork committee outside of sleep train.

I don't want that trash on this team.

He didn't punch out a fellow player. He attacked a regular joe like you or I. Thats bush league man.
 
When the Kings can win 10 in a row WITHOUT DeMarcus in the lineup, as the Clips did this season without Blake, they'll finally have enough talent on the team to win 50+ games every year just the same.

Just goes to show the difference in complimentary talent.

Leave it to Grant to say something so utterly ridiculous. They make a trade like that and Grant will be riding him for punching team employees, complaining to refs incessantly, flopping, and, more importantly, not winning games. But he's willing to trade for that guy now. Brilliant.

That would cross a line for me with Cuz as well.

For punching Donte Greene? He deserves a medal.

Blake and his good friend were drinking. His friend was joking that the Clippers were better without Blake because 10 wins in a row. Hence Blake punches his friend in the face multiple times.

10 wins in a row without Blake! Think about that for a few moments............

Boogies agent should demand Grant be fired:mad:

No, this is a story. This isn't just Grant's usual blathering on the radio. This time he put it out there on Twitter. It isn't about whether or not this is a perimeter oriented league.

It's about one of the members of the broadcast team openly supporting that we trade one of our own, and even making a joke about it.

I cannot imagine any other play-by-play announcer making that kind of comment.

Yet he shall remain employed.
 
The only way Grant will be fired if people quit listening to his show. I doubt if that will happen.
