    the attitude issues scare the hell out of me, but he's def. a franchise center with unlimited upside. The fact that PPat has a close relationship and speaks highly of him helps a lot. He's worth making a big offer for as long as we keep PPat and Lowry.

    Agreed. I think keeping Patterson is very important if we get Cousins.

    I dont know I think a trade of one of the first and say Morris would get it done. Cousins can play 4 or 5. I would prefer the 5 then trade Martin to San Antonio or Chi-town and let our Rookies play.

    He will be in Houston by the deadline....gave the 'cliché speech' yesterday about doing what he needs for the team, getting along with coach, not requesting a trade etc, etc, etc...

    Thabeet, T-Will, Adrien, Flynn, couple of picks and maybe Morris should get her done. Don't want to trade Jordan Hill, he has big potential to be a decent big in this league.

    T-Will also has a huge upside that will be showcased and used in Sac.

    Likely true. There are bad business owners and business managers. And bad coaches. But that's life. I wish it were not so, but it is. No player wants to think their whole career, or the best years of it, will be played in a poor environment. There should be some way for the league to help identify and have some mechanism for changing a bad situation. But as we saw with the "Stern-owned" Hornets, there is no mechanism. Or there is, but it is, itself, tarnished.

    And it wasn't that long ago that an Adelman led Kings team was very good. So I don't think the problems there are totally systemic.

    Cousins

    Trade Scola and Chase or Hill for Cousins. What talent for a big man.
    Cousins is Shaquille O'Neal without the brains.

    Who is John Galt?

    partly the system, and partly that they don't have a true pg. Evans is not looking to pass. Jimmer has the record for assists on that team...5 this season.

    And Rudy told Scott Brooks he wasn't going to be traded. :rolleyes:

    None of us know what was really said. The report was he demanded not asked for a trade. So both the report and your statement may be correct.

    The five listed first are all East teams. The three in parenthesis are West. I think the article was making an emphasis on Eastern teams going after him.

    I think we could put together a better package than most of those teams. And why would Utah be after him if they already have Jefferson and Favors?

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Full Boogie Cousins experience tonight: played hard, had some nice passes, took some bad shots, openly pouted, then disappeared at halftime.</p>&mdash; Bill Simmons (@BillSimmons) <a href="https://twitter.com/BillSimmons/status/282366541075468288" data-datetime="2012-12-22T06:06:44+00:00">December 22, 2012</a></blockquote>

    Cousins told not to come out of the locker room by his coach at halftime. Time may be ripe to go after him.
