    They really are just a clown car of a franchise. We blamed it all on the Maloofs at one point, but now it's clear that it goes deeper than that.

    I bet the Lakers have a cushy job lined up for him too if that Cousins trade goes down.

    I fee sorry for the Kings...Karl really messed them up. No way Cousins resigns after this, they have to trade him now.:eek: Trading away a young stud center not a good idea. Karl just wanted money.

    I'm waiting for the hilarity to ensue.

    Trade cousins because of Karl then fire Karl.

    The Nba. Where amazing happens.

    Either hire a coach that is also the GM, or hire a coach that can follow orders. This is why Karl will never be hired to be the Rockets coach as long as Morey is the GM.

    Karl really messed them up. Trade Cousins and go from there. The rebuilding project just got longer.

    Karl is a crappy playoff coach. Wouldn't want him anyway.

    Amick who is a very reputable journalist gives some details. Cousins camp contrast to press leaks requested a trade and pressured through the press divac and vivek. Vivek accepted a trade to the lakers but divac said no to the agent. Meanwhile cousins pretending to be the innocent victim who is happy in sacramento and doesnt want to leave. To save his public face and not get the pr hit that dwight did.
    its about time someone started leaking stuf from the other side and not only the press manipulation that fegan uses. But its only a matter of time imo till divac has to give in. I hope by the time the cousins saga is over his hipocricy will have been made known.

    I just don't see Georgie making it to training camp; nor the Kings paying off his contract at full $$$s.

    Forgive my ignorance, but I simply can't see the reason why Cousins would go to the Lakers. That team will not be a contender in the foreseeable future and even a playoff team somewhere far down the road. At least wait until Kobe is out of the picture. If Cousins wants to move, he should be looking for a contender team. If I was in his place, I would wait to see where Durant lands next year and explore the situation there.

    If Sacramento trades Cousins, that trade with Philly is going to be an all-timer as far as bad deals go (it probably already is).
