    He's definitely unhappy in Sac-town. If they keep losing and staying out of the NBA Playoff picture he's going to request a trade. Winning will make his attitude better. Crossing my fingers.

    Good 2 way centers are useless in today's game GS has proven that with Bogut and Ezeli

    Do not want him and his big contract

    The game is constantly reinventing itself. You can't copy the Warriors. We need to find our own style...

    You're right, but GS has really good/great players around those big men. Rockets do not.

    Cousins is a loser & stays losing.

    Unless you're trading Harden, Rockets don't have the assets to bring in Cousins.

    Which is awesome because Harden's the better and more successful player for the same price! Good value!

    Cousins will be motivated if he's playing on a contender.

    The hell? GS hasn't proven anything with 2 way centers. They have STEPH CURRY so everything else is invalid.

    Cousins even shoots threes now so he would be great for Moreyball. Unlike Dwight, he would have actual chemistry with Harden because of his ability to shoot. Also because of those same skills, he will have a very long and productive career unlike Dwight.

    I would be interested in How harden and Cousins would coexist.

    I think Cousins has a higher usage rate than Harden.

    Wonder who would take a back seat

    I don't think two high usage guys is a problem.

    The guy is a clubhouse cancer. He can't get along with every coach he has played for and his feud with George Karl is just beyond dumb. There is no reason the Kings should be as bad as they are with him and Rudy Gay they should at least be a .500 team.

    Probably the guy who can't even make the playoffs.
