    I would still go with cousins..

    Interesting note:
    Their were reports, that had the Wizards not traded the 5th pick in 2009, they were going to select Jordan Hill with it. Which really speaks to the potential Jordan Hill posses..

    The Rox have as much chance getting Cousins as DHoward, none.

    Yes we still want him.

    Hill is a PF and imagine Cousins and Hill in the paint!!!!

    We need to keep Hill as a Power Forward and not squeeze him into a position that he's not strong enough for.

    He was too strong for Cousins to overpower tonight. Cousins is one of the heavier stronger Cs in the league.

    Cousins FG and FT % have not been impressive this season however Both would be Cool to have as Demarcus can play D, Thrived in the Great Wildcat Program, and is a Strong Rebounder. Hayes & Patterson (Our Other Wildcats) should be able to keep him focused, and don't forget my boy Landry, thank u :cool:

    Throw in Twill as Small Forward and we have some off the charts Athleticism.

    LOL, I love these type of threads. Hill was great down the stretch, and he deserves all the credit, but you (OP) did realize Cousins was just abusing us in the post, backing our guys down, grabbing offensive boards, and finishing around the basket. He looked real good, I'd DEFINITELY take him if a trade came along.

    Yes he was dominating so much, he was a minus 14 on the +/-. Considering what it would take to get him, i don't want him.

    I would probably trade Hill straight up for him if that we're the deal, but I wouldn't offer a major package.

    Low efficiency and inconsistent effort = Over Rated

    Strange I wouldn't offer hill at all. I'd offer next year's pick+C-bud for Cousins...and that's about it.

    Cousins has a lot fo the P word but he has too many redflags. Not only does he have maturity issues he's also overweight and fighting with the Sactown conditioning team. Reminds me a lot of Eddy Curry, remember how he looked really good before NY got him? Like Cousins Curry also scored, grabbed rebs and sucked on D.

    Just going on ability, I'd trade Hill for Cousins in a second. Considering the knucklehead factor, though, I'd worry if I had made the right choice.

    DO NOT TRADE FOR COUSINS....

    First time I've seen him play and I could smell he's a huge douchebag. He walks and talks like a punk. I want him nowhere on this team.

    Why in the world would the Kings get rid of him? He's young and has some growing up to do, but anyone can tell he'll be a good player. Cousins is the type of player that the Kings want to keep, not trade.
