    I would rather have Hill than Cousins.

    You are definitely in the minority.
    Cousins actually impressed me with his passing today, would have had more assists if his teammates could finish lay ups, he is already better than any big on our team not named Scola and the kid is only 19.

    This is interesting. I'm interested to see how many people would actually do this. I think it doesnt benifit the kings much, but I def would like out future lineup

    Kings:
    Brooks
    Evans
    Battier
    Scola
    Thompson

    Rockets (WOW):
    Lowry
    Martin
    Williams
    Hill
    Cousins

    I'd take Hill over Cousins. Cousins is a thug and an idiot. He was throwing his hands up after every foul called on him or any bad plays by the Kings.

    There is no combination of assets we possess that the Kings would give us Cousins for, but if Petrie loses his mind for some reason, I'd make the deal.

    looks like Cousins is a little better version of Stromile Swift. All power, all balls, a little of brains.

    Jordan Hill >>> Cousins.

    Cousins cried like a little girl after he got owned by Jordan Hill in the 4th quarter.

    Why this continued obsession with a player that we have little or no chance of acquiring?

    I just posted this thread because I was reluctant about favoring Cousins. I'm not a fan of his attitude because it can hurt the team if he get a bunch of techs and/or an ejection. If he shapes up his character in addition to him game, I would be in favor of bringing him in. Rockets does not need a troublemaker on the team! Rockets need someone who can turn anger and frustration into effective playmaking much like what Hill did in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter.

    With Yao out for good, I'm all for Cousins, and Hill. And Pat. Anyone won that can defensively control the paint and put the ball in the hole. The Rockets top priority ought to now be finding another great big man. I've liked what I've seen so far of Hill, but I do know he's not a center.

    AB, Hill, first round pick for Beno and Cousins. Add fillers if needed.

    A 19-year-old rookie who can put up 19 and 8 in less than 30 minutes.

    A team doesn't easily give up on such potential.

    If I was a King's fan, I'd hate that trade.

    How does a guy who hasn't got hurt seem injury prone?
