One AND ONLY Cousins trade rumors thread

[hrdboild]

Quite to the contrary, when not making it personal Woj is traditionally the gold standard amongst NBA reporters. He's tied into everything and everybody. Once he says something its typically when you know its true. I'm clinging to a minor hope he has overrelied on PDA as a source, but that would be a rare ****up on his part.

He's a reliable source of trade information because his sources leak it to him first. Same thing with the draft. Who does he possibly know in the Sacramento front office at this point who's giving him this information? Nobody. This whole 'Chicken Little' thing going on right now is exactly why he wrote the article and it's disgusting to me.

This article kills Cuz trade value AND makes fans turn on Karl &/or Cuz. How does that help Cuz or Karl's alleged cause?? Think about it

 

[rainmaker]

Itd be helpful if someone could post important quotes. Link doesnt work on my phone.

"Karl has as much chance of being fired as I do of Vlade offering me the GM job"

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Our best hope is DMC "comes home" as a FA when Karl is gone.

Boogie gets vilified for allegedly not wanting Karl and then this happens? What a mess.

 

[Chicken Chaser]

What has the world come to when I'm listening intently to Dave's dog Nacho assure us that no one knows what's happening.

 

[Sac.1989]

Dave talking now saying Karl has no chance of leaving and it sounds like DMC could easily be moved

WTF is going on. That is ridiculous

 

[gunks]

If Vlade can fix this, he should get GM of the year.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

What rookie would want to play here now?

To all that people jumping on the George Karl feeding frenzy. None of you have any clue who the source is to the Yahoo story. #nbakings

Listen to this man.

 

[sdballer]

Now Dave's talking about how Warrriors fans also booed about Ellis? That maybe this is finally ripping the scab off.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

Breton brings up a good point. Maybe the snake currently lives in Denver?

 

[Sac.1989]

given this is in the public forum now we need a statement from the kings officially, discrediting the source and what is going on

 

[VladFather]

F this thread is depressing, what a cluster. There is only one way to come out of this with a sense of possible stability among the ownership group/front office/coach/players and that is to fire Karl.

VIVEK, please do as you say you do and fail, but fail fast. FIRE KARL! The value lost will be less than the value of empty seats in a new arena and losing a franchise player.

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

That's my best guess. I think some of the leaks are true, but they were leaked NOW because it's expedient. Some of the stuff could well have happened earlier...

 

[New Era]

Remember how boring things were when Petrie and the Maloofs were in town? We would all be posting frantically during trade deadlines, drafts, etc. only to be disappointed beyond belief. This is certainly a lot more entertaining!

 

[sdballer]

CD also saying that when everyone is reporting the same thing, connect the dots

 

[rainmaker]

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

 

[sdballer]

First instinct is 70% Cuz gone by end of summer and 90% gone by trade deadline

 

[Hoovtrain]

Broken trust in that Cousins' camp was blamed for anti-Karl comments.
Broken trust in that Cousins' wasn't told of Malone's imminent firing.
Broken trust in a lot of stuff that spun outwards, inwards, around, etc.

We're already seeing a big change. Vivek deferring to Vlade in the Amick article is HUGE. Vlade making it adamantly clear repeatedly that Cousins is not on the block is pretty definitive.

Cousins wants honesty. He wants stability. He wants players around who will want to win as badly as he does. We're undoing things the best we can. I truly believe there are more reasons to believe things will work than there are reasons to cover your head to protect it from pieces of falling sky.

As a Kings fan of 30 year, this is foreign to me

Christ.

Is there any question about this?

 

[Dreadnought]

If Boogie is traded, this really is a joke franchise. Short of Kevin Durant or Anthony Davis being gift wrapped to us, there is nothing we could get that would be worth his value.

 

[Sac.1989]

we have two options

1) discredit the story (ideally with Karl at the forefront of this) reiterating that its no more then lies
2) fire Karl

at no point should trading demarcus even be considered. It is very important we get this sorted now. We can not afford to have a fractured relationship moving forward at all. If there is any truth to the story then Karl must go. If it is all lies then we must come out strongly and discredit this.

Just threw up in my mouth a little. I just want some drama free basketball!

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.

 

[Hoovtrain]

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.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

we dont deserve this ish...
