Maloof Said The Kings Won't Trade Him

Kings co-owner Joe Maloof said before tipoff, “but we’re not trading him.”

I would love to see Cousins in Clippers uniform if they had someone who could handle his emotionality. However, I don’t see it happening.

by Buddahfan on Jan 2, 2012 10:22 AM PST reply actions  

We DO have someone to control him emotionally, but

There will be better offers than whatever we have, especially because they don’t need a PG, and that’s honestly the only thing we would have to offer. Not to mention the one guy who I believe would control him would HAVE to be in the trade. That is Eric Bledsoe. Apparently, they are extremely close, so I would love to see them playing together; however, Kings don’t need anymore PG’s so there is no way we trade for him, because you know that other teams like GSW and Houston will throw some good looking offers on the table.

bledsoe and cousins are buddies from their kentucky days

but i don’t think he’d want to come here even if we had the assets. he’s leaving the kings because of the crowded frontcourt and his lack of playing time, and he’d come off the bench here also

by Dawool Huh on Jan 2, 2012 10:55 AM PST up reply actions  

Yeah

Apparently they have been playing together since they were young.

by SurfinQ00 on Jan 3, 2012 10:09 PM PST up reply actions  

I definitely don't want Cousins

he isn’t worth the risk and I’m not sure he would be happy coming off the bench anyways.

I'm sure he won't be happy

Somebody on sactownroyalty compared him with Zach Randolph: once/if he puts it all together he’ll be good but it could take years and several teams for that to happen.

Let’s not go there. Too much of a risk.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cousins is a first rate punk! Olshey would never damage the team chemistry for this guy. He has the maturity level of a spoiled sixth grader. I can’t believe he was drafted as high as he was.

The Clipps need someone whe will accept their role as a backup big man and that is not Cousins. Let someone else overpay for this problem child.

Kelly Dwyer is an idiot

He said in his article about mo being announced as Chauncey that mo was already upset after the clippers traded for BARON DAVIS obviously he means Chris Paul

IdiotNation, rise.

Remembers when you could buy a nosebleed ticket at the Sports Arena and end up courtside.

by ganima on Jan 2, 2012 1:22 PM PST up reply actions  

I had an idea when I was at last nights game

Foye should start over Chauncey and have Chauncey come in off the bench as PG and Mo come off the bench as SG. That way we have leadership and scoring power in our second unit.

I doubt Chauncey would be happy about that though…

by Ricekrispy10 on Jan 2, 2012 1:11 PM PST reply actions  

I think our rotation should include Caron in the 2nd team too.

Maybe we bench him earlier so he can play with the 2nd team, because he is perfectly fine doing iso 1 on 1. I would actually like to see that even more!

by SurfinQ00 on Jan 2, 2012 1:59 PM PST reply actions  

And who would start at small forward if Caron comes off the bench?

it doesn’t matter I don’t like where you’re going with this!

He saying that Butler would still start.

He would just be subbed out sooner, so that he would be in with some of the reserves while Blake and Paul were resting.

Stern needs to get Bynum and Cousins on the same team...as its leaders

that would be a pretty fun storyline to follow…

We need Bill Walton back: "Where would the LA Clippers franchise be without Sean Rooks? Bo Outlaw might be the best pick up of the off season.

CP3 doesn't need much speed

his game is based off intelligence and an understanding of angles. All he needs is a quick burst to get by his initial defender, which he already has.

by bestclipfan on Jan 2, 2012 4:39 PM PST up reply actions  

That is why the team didn't include Bledsoe

and would probably be the best reason to keep him for a while. The more time he gets with CP3, Chaucey and Pack, the better he will be. Which will either make him a valuable piece for the team rather as a player or a trade piece.

by mustang6944 on Jan 2, 2012 4:53 PM PST up reply actions  

No, I say trade him!

bledsoe!

DJ Mbenga, Hilton Armstrong, Solomon Jones, and Dan Gadzuric were at the Clippers practice facility today

Mbenga would be my top choice- energetic and he is a full 7 feet.

The most skilled of them is probably armstrong, and I was impressed at how he defended D12 last year for the Hawks.

I wouldnt even mind signing 2 of them and then waiving Cook since I would take any of them over him.

by NewCavsfan on Jan 2, 2012 4:03 PM PST reply actions  

gadzuric wouldn't be too bad

he’s big and scrappy, and i can deal with that

by Dawool Huh on Jan 2, 2012 4:56 PM PST up reply actions  

The only problem with waiving Cook to pick up 2 of them

is it cuts into the teams cap space. Using the trade exception and 2.5 cap exception will take the team over the salary cap as is. Clips need to use one (really both) to fortify a very bad bench.

Help us Altered Beast you're our only hope.

Wow... CP3 is all class

I know it’s pretty old but it’s still nice to see.

The Heat commentators

refer themselves to be Lob City East :l

by Pawn on Jan 2, 2012 5:41 PM PST reply actions  

At least they know it.

We’re Lob City. Period. Not West. No nothing. They could be the Lob City knockoffs if they want.

when you hear the Clippers, it’s not going to be a joke anymore. I can guarantee you that -BG32

hmm can we steal

Heatles. Clips can be the Clipples…. errr n/m that might be too close to cripples for my taste.

Heat are horrible.

No one watches their home games
