Hopefully they'll trade him and he ends up on a decent team with a decent coach.

Cuz likes to win. He will never be satisfied on a team that loses 75% of it's games.

Smart is a Hoosier. Big Cuz has my blessing to verbally abuse him on that premise alone. LOL

Re: Oh boy...Kings have had enough of DeMarcus Cousins
I think about this often with guys like Cousins, Wall, MKG, Davis, etc.
Could you imagine a senior DeMarcus Cousins playing against collegiate guys?? Jeebus...
Hell, a senior Eric Bledsoe (one of the lesser-heralded UK kids in the league) would be an All American and unstoppable in college.

Unsuspended after 1 game.
He was arguing with the coach in the locker room at halftime. It was not smart (no pun intended), and Coach Smart has been one of Boogie's biggest supporters. I don't blame Sacramento for suspending him a game for that.
This is not unprecedented territory. I was reading Phil Jackson's book, "The Final Season," and he talks about how Shaq and Kobe would backtalk him in the locker room, and argue and fight with other players. A good coach manages those personalities. DeMarcus has a lot of growing up to do, and as I have posted before, he will develop well until age 25, and perhaps a little beyond, in his judgment and reasoning. Expect this kind of thing to reoccur, no matter what his intentions will be.
A good coach, as I said, manages those kind of situations, as Phil Jackson did, and as John Calipari did. I place zero blame on Keith Smart, and I'm not suggesting he's other than a good coach (I really haven't followed him very much), and I think they did the right thing here.
