The NBA trade rumors are in full swing this early and arguably the king of this season's rumor mill is Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins.
Now, how could a superstar or perhaps, the best center in the NBA right now is endangered of getting traded? Ever since his stint in Sacramento, they never had a winning season and not only that, locker room issue has been regularity.
Is it time for the Kings to turn a new leaf? Sure. According to Bleacher Report, another shouting incident just transpired that could have put Cousins under suspension, but the management won't allow it per.
"In fact, yes. That kind of valuation fits well with the fact the Kings have seemed to treat Cousins' deviations from proper decorum as the fault of someone else. Several reports have the 6-foot-11 center launching a verbal blast at coach George Karl after Monday's loss to San Antonio, and when Karl sought to have Cousins suspended, the request was denied by general manager Vlade Divac," as stated in the website.
"While Sacramento has bowed to Cousins' talent and potential thus far, one would think it has to begin investigating what it can get in return. Either that, or the Kings can burn through a few more coaches."
The question is, until when will they want this kind of culture? Looking at their roster, they have Willie Cauley-Stein, who could be their next cornerstone at the center position. There are a lot of takers for Cousins and if they want a chance at next year's top selection and someone named Ben Simmons, the Boston Celtics are more than happy to begin talks for the All-Star Center.
