Cousins demands a trade!

So Westphal learned what Jerry learned, when push comes to shove, the coach, not the player gets shown the door. And the players take the NBA another small step towards the abyss.

Watch your back Ty.

... it was on the table?

That was rhetorical.

Also, it looks like the gut instinct of Petrie/The Maloofs on grabbing Monroe at 5 would've been the much more prudent decision after all.
 
Wow, what lesson do you think Cousins learned from this..."Complain loud enough, and your coach will get fired."

Huh??? Where is there any evidence this trade was on the table. No way Kings trade Cousings for Jefferson even if he is a head case.

Yeah, I think the Kings path just went from treacherous to heading straight for a cliff. They'd better luck the **** out with who they hire because I don't see how you send that message to a ****head and expect anything good to come of it later.

Jerry was not "shown the door." Greg and KOC practically begged him to reconsider, after he decided to hang it up. They then traded Deron anyway. Nothing about that situation suggests our FO supported Deron over Sloan.

It blows my mind that Petrie (GM) still has a job. The Kings are the most ill-conceived team that I think I've ever seen assembled. Not one piece makes sense. And I don't know how much sway a coach has these days, but if Westphal had any at all, he did a horrible job and coaching this team. I tried to watch one of their games and I couldn't believe I was watching a professional basketball team.

Geoff Petrie is still living off the job he did with Sacramento in 1998-2002. Since then his decisions have been a disaster, but I think the Maloof's (who bought the team in 1999) have some type of connection to the past that they feel Petree could do it again.

I knew Westphal would fail in Sacramento - not a disciplinarian, he's a classic "player's coach," which can work with an established group of hungry veterans (Suns) but will fail misreably with young players (Sonics, Kings) who don't respect him - but sending the message that you chose DeMarcus Cousins over the coach is the type of move that can destroy whatever it is you're trying to build.
 
I guess Cousins must be really trying to prove his lack of production was Westphal's fault. Last 2 games since the incident (whatever it was), Cuz has put up 26pts and 15rbs, respectively.

Give it a couple days. He will freak out over something stupid. Maybe that there is an orange m&m in his green m&m bowl.

I would guess that any team that wants cousins is going to probably have take salmons. He has their worst contract. I would guess they would also want young players or draft picks. If it was me I would want the gs pick next year.

As far as cousins goes it is a mild risk. It is not like we would be committing 10+ mil on him for the next 3 or 4 years. If we could get him with out giving up our youth I say we do it. Favors is untouchable.

I'm down with Salmons as well.
