Sessions + Varejao. Think they'd do it? A decent PG and veteran defensive presence, maybe the Kings would get better.

Yes, Cousins has a temper problem but man the Cavs could have their chance at a franchise Center here whos young. Maybe Byron could get him into gear??? I'd be willing to take that chance

Breaking News: DeMarcus Cousins Demands a Trade

“Whenever a new season begins, in any sport, there is great hope that everything will progress in only a steady, upward direction. As we all know, it seldom happens like that in this life!

As coaches, we can only ask that our players do everything they can to improve themselves as individuals and teammates. If they do this with all their hearts, we live with the results.

Everything that happens on a team does not become known to the public. This is how it should be. However, when a player continually, aggressively, lets it be known that he is unwilling/unable to embrace traveling in the same direction as his team, it cannot be ignored indefinitely.

DeMarcus Cousins has demanded to be traded. In the best interest of our team as we go forward, he has been directed by me, with the support of management, to stay home from the New Orleans game tonight.”

Well holy shit.

Byron Scott may be the perfect coach to turn this kid from an immature piece of shit into the talented big he has the potential to be..............

/end pipe dream

Cavs would, or sure as hell should.

Kings wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole, nor should they.

Saying Cousins has "temper problems" is a massive understatement btw.

No...not at all. Too may talented and high character players.

Future pick? Hell yes.

I love Cousins, I love that he went to THE university of Kentucky but I hate his attitude.


If the FO thinks Scott can get through to Cousins try to pull off a trade.

We need a center....

 

[Bux42]

Would pull the trigger on that in a heartbeat. But like Triumph said, the Kings more than likely wouldn't, as there is a tremendous market in the NBA for young true Centers (especially ones with the talent Cousins has already shown), and I highly doubt that is the best offer they would get for him. If we could miraculously pull something like that off it would be huge not only for our potential core group, but more than likely help us lose a few more games this year than we would have (ensuring another top 3 pick), as we wouldn't have much of a backup PG and would be working in a brand new starter (as well as missing Andy's hustle). I'd say around a 1% chance this happens though...possibly even less.

This is one of those times where it is worth the risk. Bring Cousins in, he's going to be thrilled to get out of Sacramento and Byron Scott is as good a coach as any to reign his crazyness in. That mean streak is something the Cavs need to add.

I'm in favor of attempting to get him.

What about doing the Sac pic and our next year's first? And/or the Miami first?

Talk about perfect fit next to Tristan.

Re: Breaking News: DeMarcus Cousins Demands a Trade

Also, let's be real, the reason Cousins is being jettisoned probably isn't even that serious.

I forsee a situation similar to this, with Lysol being Demarcus Cousins and Katie being Jimmer Fredette's girlfriend.

Cousins for 2013 1st?

The good thing about acquiring Cousins would be that he's an extremely talented C but not efficient enough yet to pull the Cavs out of a lottery pick this year, which is badly needed.
