DeMarcus Cousins

Sacramento Kings general manager Vlade Divac thinks very highly of his All-Star/Team USA big man DeMarcus Cousins. Asked if Boogie is currently the most dominant tower in the world, Divac didn’t hesitate to take his answer one step further, per James Ham of CSNBayArea.com: “It’s a no-brainer,” Kings general manager Vlade Divac said from his [...]

You have more in common with DeMarcus Cousins than you think. He, too, has no idea what the Sacramento Kings are thinking, per ABC 10’s Sean Cunningham: [tweet https://twitter.com/SeanCunningham/status/755182123049287680] Cousins is specifically referring to the Kings drafting two more centers…in the first round: Georgios Papagiannis out of Greece and Skal Labissiere from Kentucky. This is [...]

It’s no secret that DeMarcus Cousins appears to be unhappy in Sacramento. He continues to post gaudy numbers and make all-star games, but his team isn’t really showing much improvement. They are a perennial lottery team and last night, the Kings were the owners of the 13th pick. They decided to roll the dice on [...]

The Sacramento Kings won’t be trading DeMarcus Cousins anytime soon—depending, of course, on how you define “soon.” Here’s the team’s general manager Vlade Divac on the DeMarcus Cousins situation, per Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 in Sacramento: [tweet https://twitter.com/SeanCunningham/status/730113997589065728] “This year” is pretty ambiguous terminology.

The DeMarcus Cousins rumor mill is churning again in Sacramento amidst all of the controversy and struggles the Kings are currently experiencing as they have for what seems like an eternity now.

Are the Sacramento Kings the most dysfunctional team in NBA history? I’m not prepared to say no. DeMarcus Cousins and head coach George Karl haven’t been besties since the latter’s arrival. Tensions reached a new high after Cousins received a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team, a punishment that, according to Cousins, was [...]

Everything is totally fine with the Sacramento Kings. Just kidding. DeMarcus Cousins just wrapped up a one-game suspension that the Kings handed down after he yelled at head coach George Karl. Or was that suspension levied by Karl himself? Per Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports: [tweet https://twitter.com/SpearsNBAYahoo/status/709181823507509248] Yikes. And then there’s this, per Bryan [...]

Miami Heat president Pat Riley never ceases to amaze. You know he’s aggressive when it comes to free agency (see: The Big Three) and trades (see: overpaying for Goran Dragic), but don’t think for a minute you understand the extent of his ambition. Exhibit A, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald: An official who [...]

George Karl’s seat cushion is cooling off. All signs pointed to the Sacramento Kings firing him not 48 hours ago. Now, the Kings are Kings-ing, changing their minds in true Kings fashion.
