Demarcus Cousins

The Reason Why Demarcus Cousins Isn’t Coming To Boston Is Fairly Simple

... really got in the Boogie sweepstakes, in large part for one simple reason: They never really wanted in, because they never really wanted the player. “I don’t think Brad Stevens wants to touch De Marcus Cousins with a 10-foot pole,” ESPN’s Zach Lowe said in November on his podcast. “And that carries a lot of weight (in Boston).”. And as Cousins reports started trickling in Sunday afternoon and into the evening, the Boston Herald’s Steve Bulpett reported the Celtics weren’t even in the mix. And again, if the Celtics wanted in on the action, they had the pieces to do so. Tony Massarotti of 98.5 The Sports Hub tweeted Monday morning that his understanding is Boston never really had any interest in Cousins. It appears Boston has its sights set on Chicago Bulls star Jimmy Butler, another player who certainly would go a long way in helping Boston reach the next level. New Orleans is floundering and doesn’t have a whole lot to lose by acquiring Cousins and taking on the accompanying risks. The Celtics, meanwhile, had to weigh the pros and cons of making a move for Cousins. Their rebuilding ...

As for the Cousins trade, former Nets — and Lakers and Hornets and Cavs — coach Byron Scott on ESPN Monday raved about the deal. It gives the Pelicans two fabulously talented All-Star big men in Cousins and All-Star Game MVP Anthony Davis with point guard Jrue Holiday running the show. “They’ve got three pieces that are very good,” Scott said. “So if I’m a fan of the New Orleans Pelicans, I’m very excited about the future of this team.”. But one exec, admitting to the talent of the bigs, sees a weird fit. “They’re going to have a lot invested in two players,” the exec said. “They both play the same position. Davis may play the five, but he goes out on the perimeter, and Cousins ...

Kings Finally Trade Demarcus Cousins, Deal Him During All-star Sunday

... he said might be true, it doesn't appear to be a good return for a known quantity in Cousins, who is averaging a career-high 29.1 points, 11.2 rebounds and a career-high 5.1 assists. For this deal to work out in the Kings' favor, it requires good decision-making from a front office that seems immune to sound judgments. Do lottery picks Thomas Robinson, Ben Mc Lemore, Willie Cauley-Stein or Jimmer Fredette ring a bell. Cousins had eye-popping numbers, but there were drawbacks such as 45.1% field-goal shooting for a 6-11 big man - at least 10 points below where it should be - and just a 24-33 record to show for it.  Defensively, Cousins' effort alone leaves much to be desired. But ever since Cousins was taken fifth overall in the 2010 draft, this marriage hasn’t worked for reasons ...

Demarcus Cousins Trade Sheds Light On Difficulty For Nets To Deal Brook Lopez

... Cousins. The package sent to the Sacramento Kings looked similar to their offer to the Brooklyn Nets for Brook Lopez. Before the Pelicans acquired De Marcus Cousins for Buddy Hield , Tyreke Evans , Langston Galloway , and a protected 2017 first-round pick, they offered a similar deal to the Brooklyn Nets for Brook Lopez. The rumored offer didn’t include the rookie Hield, but it likely didn’t appeal to the Nets because they were seeking multiple picks for Lopez. Want your voice heard? Join the Nothin' But Nets team.

However, it was quite the shock following the All-Star Game when news broke that the Kings traded Cousins for the aforementioned deal, which only includes a single protected first-round pick and an additional second-round pick both for this year’s draft.
