There’s been major talk about possibily trading DeMarcus Cousins but there were also reports that the Sacramento Kings weren’t so willing to part with their franchise star. Cousins although frustrated with the direction of the team, gave no indication that he was looking to leave. Well they brought in George Karl as head coach and now HE reportedly wants to trade Cousins. That of course rubbed Cousins the wrong way and as trade rumors heated up yesterday, he threw out a not so cryptic tweet early Tuesday morning.

Karl has had his run ins with players before and it’s hard to see him and Cousins coexisting at this point. One of them will likely have to go and it’s clearly looking like Cousins since Karl was just hired.
What Karl wants is to revamp the roster and bring in quality veterans, a team that can win now rather than be a slow build. That is something that is not going to happen with the rumored Lakers offer (which is focused around the No. 2 pick in the draft). But there will definitely be other teams that are interested.
