Cousins has shown more than just flashes of being a 20-20 player. I hope that this indefinite suspension (Many near to the organization are saying he will not be brought back before the New Year, some even saying the All-Star break if the team can be remotely successful) can do him some good.

Cousins has shown at UK that winning cures all of his ills. I believe that if the Kings can get Tyreke Evans healthy and maybe trade for a wise no-nonsense veteran, he can be helped.

There is one major difference between Cousins and players like Rasheed and Artest: Cousins has honest-to-goodness Hall of Fame talent. Nobody builds a franchise around Artest or Wallace. (Indiana tried, and failed). Sac-town tried with Artest and failed.

I have said it a million times, if Popovich, Jackson or even a Van Gundy brother had Tyreke Evans, DeMarcus Cousins and two explosive scorers off the bench like Marcus Thornton (6th man of the year candidate, if he stayed more healthy) and Jimmer Fredette (we all know how he can shoot and score. He has 22 points in 14 minutes the other night) they would have a playoff team. Random coaches only win random games.

There's some other big difference as well...
Cousins is a horrible teammate.

Very few people want to play with him.

Cousins is the only one that has sat out multiple games for being a freaking baby.

Say what you want about Rasheed and Artest...
but they have always had their teammates' back and they've been contributing on the floor night-in and night-out for years. Demarcus Cousins is NOT a hall of famer.
