    LOL

    Cousin was cursing Karl for not pushing his teammates running back hard on defense.

    Just imagine what he will see in Houston and what kind of "clash of the titans" you can see between him and JB and Harden.

    Epic.

    Dexter Pittman also got a championship ring while Karl Malone failed in his whole career.

    He's a headcase, but so was Zach Randolph. Who would've guessed he of all people would lead the Grizzlies to the WCF? Cousins might never get his mind right, but teams will not stop trying while he's still so young.

    Right because their roles on the team are obviously similar and that is a fair and reasonable argument based on a true apples to apples comparison. :rolleyes:

    If we had an extra #1 pick it would be easier to acquire him

    Disagree. Damaged goods DMO on an expiring contract is much more valuable.

    DMo is probably better at boxing out

    Dude has long needed a change of scenery. Sacramento is just too prideful to cut bait and sell high.

    A Hall of fame big man like Kevin McHale would be a great mentor for him

    If Boogie is a cancer, then I hope this team gets cancer.

    You ain't bull***tin', bro.

    I think it would only involve some sort of three-team trade involving Dwight to somewhere else and that somewhere else sending whomever to Sacramento (Milwaukee?). I don't think the Kings want to take a step backward.

    So, not likely.....but I'd take the chance.

    Oh yeah....and we'd need a real coach who could believe in Boogie but keep him in line.

    Dwight Howard should do the same for not getting support from his coaches... duh.

    Great move by Karl. Disrespecting a coach is never justified, disagreeing sure, but berating in public is not.

    Cousins is way too immature...and too coddled. While he is talented...credit to Dwight for shuting up and just going out there and playing. Demarcus is way to unstable to be given the entire keys for the franchise...part of what is going wrong with Sacremento is that their entire organization starting at the top...is just incompetent. As players playing for that franchise...they have to wonder if they want to remain on a team with such dysfunctional people.

    For sure. Unfortunately, that won't change until he's in his mid 30s and ain't all that great anymore. So for his sake I hope he matures before then.

    Harden + Cousins ... two enabled coddled prima donnas that don't play defense and tune our their coaches ... just what the Rockets need.

    Wow is this serious? The image of Cousins with Harden makes me drool but did he really get mad because the coach didn't defend him? Getting him might be a drama disaster waiting to happen.

    I mean just look at what he does and what Dwight does in terms of professionalism and maturity. If Cousins had a night where he was 8-10 and the Rox lost he would probably go ape **** on Harden for not giving him the ball.

    Then again he is already feuding with Karl so maybe little things that wouldn't bother people anger him so much. While Cousins has had a history of clown behavior he hasn't been this bat **** crazy prior to Karl so maybe a change of environment can make him ok again. After all JOsh Smith was so bad Clipps gave him back to us, and Beasley was so whacked he got banished to China
