This is a rare bit of insight into the situation surrounding the league’s best center, as most haven’t known if he wants to keep being the focal point of a rebuild or go somewhere else. He isn’t causing drama for the team, but everyone knows he is one of the early favorites to get dealt before or at the deadline this year.Ĭousins? Maybe not. He was an odd fit from the start, a guy who didn’t fit in with the offense Sacramento runs. Gay preferring to go elsewhere isn’t a shock. And while Cousins again is among the league leaders in technicals and appears to be gaining weight, so far there have been no locker room outbursts directed at teammates or his head coach. Cousins wants to stay and retains strong backing from principal owner Vivek Ranadive. Ailene Voisin of the Sacramento Bee has the story: While the Kings continue to flounder and a full-blown rebuild seems likely, Cousins doesn’t want to leave. Not only does Cousins want to stick with the team, the honor might belong to Rudy Gay.
Many might view DeMarcus Cousins as likeliest trade candidate on the Sacramento Kings.
