This just in: Andy (SLC)Any chance the Jazz end up with Cousins? I think Jefferson needs to go and Millsap would be better served coming off the bench, otherwise, he should go, too? What moves should the Jazz be looking to make?Chad Ford (1:14 PM)Cousins is crazy talented and from what I can gather, he wants out of Sacramento badly. The Jazz have a ton of different assets to offer. But I can't imagine any scenario where the Jazz would give up any of those assets for Cousins. They care a lot about both character and chemistry. They aren't the type of team that will take the risk? Boston? For sure they would. Dallas? They would too. Just not Utah. Alright, so despite the reports that the Kings do not have any intentions in trading him, Cousins surely wants to be traded as soon as possible. He has probably been performing with great motivation in the last couple of games (included a triple double against us the other day) to show that his talent overpowers his off court iss...

Pistons better off without Cousins

DETROIT -- DeMarcus Cousins is a very talented NBA player. That doesn't mean the Pistons should try to get him.

Because the two play the same position and the Pistons were interested in Cousins back then, people often link the two players. With Cousins...

NBA GM: 'Asking price on Cousins is way too high right now'

Kurt Helin had a good update on the ongoing DaMarcus Cousins situation over at NBC Sports. A few interesting things from the article; first, that Kings GM Geoff Petrie flat out said that Cousins was not on the trading block. You can put that one to rest. He’s not going anywhere. You can lay that to rest. Some of that stuff lives in its own reality. While this is what a lot of...

Kings beat Cavaliers on road and other thoughts

Well it's been awhile since I compared Boogie Cuz to Marvin from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (and I'm right dammit!), but well, apparently DeMarcus Cousins got the message about what passing actually means from the right spots on the floor. It's amazing (and depressing) that the best passer on this team is Cousins who also leads the team in Field Goal attempts...

Bradley is ready to return from shoulder surgery (double shoulder surgery at that) as soon as Wednesday night...

Cavaliers (7-25) vs. Kings (11-20) - Game 33

OPENING TIP The Kings arrive as one of the leagues most discussed teams, but for all the wrong reasons. DeMarcus Cousins, their talented young center, has been suspended for a shouting match with coach Keith Smart, one of the most laid-back people in world history.
