Yeah and Zbo was like 30+ when he did that. U wanna be one of the teams who pay Cousins when he is still crazy and wrecks your team or you wanna wait till he's old and sign him then? It might just be a maturity issue but these players only mature when they are already 30+, before that all the team who sign these guys to big money just end up with a head ache.

What remains to be see is what the Kings want back for Boogie, not sure they're ok with picks and rookies...
Cousins is a loose cannon AKA sprewell in the making. Cant trust him at all until he learns to handle his emotions.
Bring him to Houston! His moodiness is the fire we lack from our bigs. He is like a bigger more talented Draymond Green on crystal. Dude just wants to win! Trade everyone not named harden. Cousins/Capela DMO/Beaseley/Harrell Ariza/not brewer Harden/McDaniels Not beverly, terry,
If the Kings trade Cousins, I wonder if the Kings suddenly become a potential FA destination for Dwight Howard. Someone that can help "sell the new arena."
[rQUOTEr]Boston Celtics: This is an obvious destination. Eastern Conference sub-contender, great coach who everyone loves, grand tradition as a franchise, good supporting talent and multiple assets they can afford to spend to get Cousins. They need a star, Cousins needs a strong cultural organization, it works. The problems lie with the fact that Danny Ainge has made comments before about how if there are locker room problems with a guy he doesn't necessarily think it's worth it. Add on top of that Ainge's notorious habit of low-balling and it doesn't look great. Houston Rockets: Hey, you've got a massive culture problem around defense and effort. Let's trade for DeMarcus Cousins! Still, Cousins bring talent and the nasty, and Daryl Morey values both. Harden and Cousins could become best of friends or clash constantly, that's impossible to tell. Whoever the Rockets hire as coach could determine much of this. The other problem is that Houston doesn't have much to trade with. The Rockets' pick goes to the Nuggets this year, and they're low on valuable prospects, as nice as Clint Capela and K.J. McDaniels are. Miami Heat: It sounds crazy, but a sign-and-trade involving Hassan Whiteside might at least make some peripheral sense if Justise Winslow is also involved. That would get the Heat a major star and Pat Riley may feel his organization's discipline could hold Cousins in. Denver Nuggets: The only coach Cousins has ever managed to get along with in the NBA was the fiery Michael Malone, now with the Nuggets. Denver has young players, veterans, multiple picks, and a huge need for superstar talent to use to try and get him if he's available. Cousins would thrive under Malone, and there's enough remaining talent in Denver for him not to be starting over with a rebuilding team. Milwaukee Bucks: A small market squad in Milwaukee might not be glamorous, but if the Bucks were to pair Jabari Parker with Greg Monroe and some picks, all of a sudden the Kings have a nucleus of good young players and the Bucks have Cousins to put with Giannis Antetokounmpo and just overwhelm with size. Los Angeles Lakers: There's always the possibility of going back to the well they were at last summer. Trading D'Angelo Russell after his foibles with Nick Young would be understandable now, especially after a disappointing rookie season. Adding in Julius Randle gets the Kings some valuable young players, and the Lakers could offer to trade a future pick as well. This move would be bad for Cousins because the Lakers' well is dry, but if they land a big free agent this summer or next, they would suddenly leap back into contention, which is how they've always looked to rebuild. http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-basketball/25571306[/rQUOTEr] Rockets don't have the assets.
I like Boogie but honestly i'm not sure he can work with Harden... Anyway yeah, if the Kings are going to rebuild, Celtics, Lakers and Sixers have better assets. If they want a rising star and/or proven players to do a quick rebuild we don't have the assets like Orlando, Denver, Milwaukee...so yeah, no chance. Next summer will eventually be another story since he'll be in his last year, so, at that time, if he says "i want Houston" we might have a chance.
I'd like to see Cousins on the Celtics... for one reason only. Brad Stevens. I'm not sure it would work, but would love to see what Stevens can get out of him. Because otherwise, outside of obvious places that have no need for him or don't have the assets they'd want to part with to trade for him - Spurs, Warriors, TWolves now with Thibs - I don't think any of the other potential landing spots have strong enough cultures at the moment to work. Maybe Miami.
Cousins should go to Toronto. It's a beautiful city and the people are nice. Plus it's in Canada, where Justine Bieber and Drake came from.
Question: if Dwight agrees to it, could we trade him for Cousins, where Dwight could still opt out and the Kings agree to give him a contract he finds acceptable? I'm not sure when trades this offseason can begin, or the deadline for Dwight's opt out clause
