It would be dumb to propose it, and even dumber to decline it. I agree though, not sure why it was even brought up.

It starts with them(I would make them include Holiday or Williams too)and Hedo would be sent to Philly too. But for a rental you would?

Williams, yes. Holiday, no. J-Rich instead of Turkoglu, and I'd do it. If Turner, Williams and Iguodala were gone, the Sixers would definitely need another 2-guard. Meeks can't handle full minutes right now.

Forcing it, Gasol and Bynum playing well, you don't have to do it all Kobe.

DeMarcus Cousins is a head case.

Switching between Sac NOLA and LAC and Port. Evens for Sac just had a great play, dribbled into traffic almost lost the ball. Regained the ball and had to quickly throw up an off balance 3. Nailed it, then had a break away dunk on the next possession following a steal. You guys think he is on his way from recovering from his soph slump?

The fact that he made a roster is a success story.

I don't follow him closely enough, but the dude has game. Reminds me of the reputation Zach Randolph had early in his career.

I think his numbers last year were about what I expect from him. He just played out of his mind his rookie year.

I think the Kings and Pistons are in a similar situation with Evans/Jimmer and Stuckey/Knight, in that all could be pretty good players but none of them are true PGs.

I don't really know how you build around a score-first PG who isn't elite.

Cousins has serious potential but the dude needs to grow up, he's been nothing but trouble since he entered the league. Didn't he get kicked off of a team flight last year for throwing punches at a teammate for not giving him the ball on an inbound play? Dude's crazy

Yeah, shit just doesn't make sense. You play basketball and make a ton of money... You have the ability to be a very good PF and a cornerstone player, yet you can't straighten your shit out?

I don't understand what's so hard about it. Unless he's mentally retarded.

In 85 career games, he's averaging 14 PPG and 9 RPG. Also, nearly 3 APG and 2 BPG. Clearly, that team has turmoil/chemistry issues. Imagine what he could do if that stuff wasn't present. This is why I've said since day one it was a mistake for Philly to take E.T. over Boogie.

No one is saying he isn't talented. I'm as big of a fan as there is of Cousins' talents, but he can't act the way he is. Hopefully he matures, but he can't act like a superstar and demand a trade.

Yeah, he's one of the biggest reasons for those issues. This is 100% on Cousins and nobody else, the dude is an immature troublemaker

I've bolded the part that really matters, and add to it this.

...he already thinks he has earned the right to demand a trade. Which is a complete joke and shows a complete lack of self awareness. If he did have a good head about him, he would have gone about this a much different and a much better way.

Lol you're crazy if you don't think he'd be the same head case in Philly.

Well the Heat won't go undefeated.

The Hawks behind T Mac are going to beat them in Miami tonight.
