I hate Cousins. And it would have been difficult to root for a team with both him and Beverley on it.




[Note: To be fair, they're annoying for very different reasons. Beverly's antics actually helps teams win games.]

I'm in the "hate Cousins" camp too...I've never liked him. And more importantly, the refs have never liked him. KAT's whining is instrumental in his 5.2 fouls per 36 this season. Cousins was getting 5.8 before the Bucks cut him. What a pair they would have been on the court together.

Nah. Definitely not a Wes Johnson guy... I was wondering aloud why the Wolves chose a wing at #4 in the NBA draft who NEVER averaged more than 16.8 ppg.

Not even in high school.

The Bucks cut bait because he isn't worth the baggage and they wanted to maintain flexibility with his roster spot.

Thanks Cool. When I was looking more into it then it was a little more strange when they cut him because they really didn't have a healthy center at the time. Overall it wasn't a surprise to me though...partly because I was so out of the loop at the time I didn't even know where he had signed! Lol

I'm keeping an eye on the Kings as I expect them to be sellers at the deadline. The rest of the league does too it seems like. They're 18-30 on the season while going 2-8 in their last 10 and losing three consecutive. It's only a matter of time before we see some names being dealt out of Sacramento.

Yes I would assume they will absolutely be sellers. I haven't been paying attention so maybe they have some injuries or whatever but I am surprised they are struggling like they are in terms of record. It just makes me appreciate the Wolves success so far even more. I actually think they are in a decent spot if they move the right players and make good use of the assets they receive back. Are they gonna finally move Bagley?

Issues with the Kings this year.
- Fox has taken a step back this year
- Mitchell has been a disaster offensively
- Haliburton is very solid but he is at this moment nothing special (still a really good nba player)
- So many guards
- Will be really interested to see if they make trades at the deadline. Reports last deadline were they were declining 2 1st round picks for Barnes because their owner really wants to make the play in. Will be interesting
- Bagley is interesting, talented on offense, bad on defense, his dad is way to involved and Bagley contract is expensive so it's harder to move

Virtually everybody is on the table... as has been obvious and much discussed for weeks.

The coach was already fired. Not much has changed with coach #2.
The GM is still relative young in his tenure... I think it's the 2nd year of a 4-year deal. And I think the Kings are still paying the former GM. Would they really want to pay 3 GMs?

So, the next step is player movement. Considering multiple players on that squad have publicly voiced their frustrations in recent season(s), there will definitely be moves made for this beleaguered franchise.
