Breaking point? cousins to be benched?

He's a cancer because he made a choke sign and got thrown out of practice? Generally "cancer" when used to refer to a player describes a guy who can ruin team chemistry and morale merely by his presence. The Kings had no chemistry or morale to start with though so Cousins, or anyone else, could hardly have ruined them. He's an emotional player on a terrible team, that's not a good combination. Emotional players never handle losing well. Yes he has a lot to learn, yes he has some attitude issues to work on, but those are correctable things. What's more important (at least to me) is that he's been playing well and improving all the time.
You seem to have a personal grudge against the guy and appear to be rooting for him to fail so you can trumpet about how right you were about him. I don’t know if you’re a Kings fan or not but if you are, that’s pretty odd behavior. If you’re a fan, you should be hoping he does well, not waiting... hoping... expecting him to implode.

ive already mentioned this earlier. But your lucky and i'll enlighten you at this late hour. You trade him now, immediately, while he still has "potential". You trade him to Washington for the unprotected first round pick. Let J Wall and DMC be together again. We get a top 5 pick, along with our own top 3 or 4 pick and we have the making of a nice nucleus. Draft Irving(if healthy) and Jones or Barnes. Trade Landry back to Hou for Brooks. Sign Marc Gasol as restricted FA. look Gasol,Thompson,Perry Jones,Irving and evans with Brooks the super sub. Come on thats a future to build around and get excited about. Quality team players

actually when he put up 20/10 the other day i was impressed. I dont root for him though, he makes it impossible to root for. I want the Kings to have players such as OKC. They all love each other and it shows on the court. The fanbase is extremely lucky to have such quality team players who care about winning and growing. DMC can never be like KD,JG,RW,SI,NC ,TS. He is a cancer and destroys team concepts and chemistry. He's a me first player. He could be a guy that gets numbers,but wont be a winner.
That all sounds dandy and it's good to see that you have some actual ideas and aren't just trolling like I thought, but... There's just a few problems with it. No way in Hades does Houston give us Brooks for Landry. No guarantee that Gasol would come here. And, if The Wizards get Wall back, add Cousins, and now Lewis as well, their pick probably won't be top 5, probably more like 8-10.

Don't act like it's just Cousins. I didn't see Cousins turn the ball over late in the paint. That was Beno Udrih. I didn't see Cousins take a quick 3 with 12 seconds left on the clock. That was Cisco. Then Cousins choked. Just about every time he does it's when 3 others before him have already laid the ground work and we're about to lose anyway. If the idea is to take all the chokers off the floor Westphal needs to lead the way off the court with the entire team following behind.

theres something else to think about here. Its not bad watching a suck team night after night as long as you see growth in the team, a spark, glimmer of hope. a progress, a unity. If we had two top 5 picks to go with Evans, yes they wouldnt win right away, but it would sure beat watching this crap we have now, this is ajoke.
he gives effort, but hes not a winner, other players arent going to rally behind him. Someone else had a good post about respect, he doesnt have it and therefor will ultimately keep him with the cancer label. Time will tell, and im sure i will be here to remind you

We draft a guy who has demonstrated many times over that he is immature. We got him BECAUSE he is immature Then when he acts immature, we fine him. What did you expect? Fining him, announcing it publicly and taking him out of the starting line up for being the guy we drafted. Makes you wonder who has a brain in this organization.
I don't support his behavior but THAT'S WHO WE DRAFTED! Shock and horrors, he's immature. Who'd have known? It's no wonder he doesn't take the game seriously when he is on a team of such incompetence. Maybe it's his way of staying sane. Makes me wonder how the other guys are behaving under the pressure of being on the worst team in basketball.
Until the Maloofs take this game seriously and invest in a real coach, we will be on the bottom of the league.
DMC has obviously had no wise guidance as he grew up. Hitting him over the head with a sledgehammer isn't going to help. He certainly isn't the cause of our problems.
