Sacramento Kings Head Coach Paul Westphal addresses DeMarcus Cousins trade demand

[JQT421]

In my NBA 2K12 My Player mode he got fired, now he is. lol

[J2k11B]

This guy sounds like a complete dick. I wouldn't wanna play for his ass. Be more professional and play your part.

[beartrapz916]

Im a huge Kings fan, Westphal needs to go even with better players you don't see progression they brought all these new players and kept Westphal, why? what has he done to keep this job?

[SACRAMENTOKINGSROCK]

GITT OUTT westphal

[MrMan6577]

im thinkin its time to fire paul westphal

[13SuperKings]

@MrMan6577 Westphal is just not the right coach for the team.

[MrMan6577]

@13SuperKings It's not just the DeMarcus Problem. He refuses to play Cisco', who is a veteran and knocks down threes consistently, and he also refuses to give Isaiah and Jimmer consistent playing time! They are both true Point Guards! Tyreke is not, he's a 2 guard!!

[13SuperKings]

@MrMan6577 I think Paul Westphal needs to be fired.

[drakehilton300]

his attitude is shit; like somebody owes him something....he need to get his mind right or he gonna be playing in Istanbul somewhere

[xdiehardx1]

Well I dont think many teams would want him as his attitude stinks and at 20-21 he shouldnt be like that.

[wwefan0104]

i think demarcus would fit in wit raptors . he needs the ball and the freedom to use the moves hes been perfecting. raps have been amazing with their defense but because of that their offense has been suffering cuz the players r tired but with cousins he provides dat intense defense and also he knows how to play his position down low even when hes tired. he'll get offensive freedom in the paint and we'll see his game grow.he should go to de raps and take a chance i know he''ll get minutes

[JigglesJingle]

I'd simply tell him no. You aren't being traded. If you refuse to play, you won't get paid.

[its2realj]

Lets be honest, Paul westphal does not know how to run a system that will utilize the primary talent that this team possess. I still do not understand why Demarcus only gets around 25-27 minutes per game. The kings act like they are going to make a championship run, so they don't need to develop their explosive young talent (Tyreke and Cousins). Tyreke had issues with westphals system last year, but since he is less outspoken he kept it to himself. Trade there talent or get rid of westphal? easy

[roumanobr]

I have to say, why is westphal actin like such a douche. he almost never answers clearly the question, just acts like a douche.

[xRedFoo209x]

@roumanobr do you even know the exact meaning of douche? do you see him acting like a douchebag here.

[roumanobr]

Lakers for a 2nd round pick.

[90bijang90]

Man Paul Westphal is such a diva. Trade Cousins to Houston!

[natopher91]

Pistons

[camplo195]

DeMarcus needs to go to a veteran team, Bos/San Ant, so vets can get in that a** when he pouts like a baby

[destinationskyline07]

trade him to the Rockets please

[Archssiah]

send him to the celtics

[david8821]

demarcus is going to bounce around from team to team being a drama queen they should just send him to the D-league lol nobody would miss him

[its2realj]

@david8821 send him to the warriors.

[david8821]

@its2realj so he mess that team up too lol better give the kings david lee

[jayhow92]

Trade him to the rockets. We'll be glad to steal another one of your players. =D

[xRedFoo209x]

idk but the kings do better without cousins man,he thinks his going to be really good in the future but not with that attitude.Have you seen the game earlier Hornets vs Kings.without cousins kings dominate because there no cousins shooting like hes ray allen.i hate when he shoots a field goal and thinks his gonna make it but all his shooting were luck.Just trade him already.

[its2realj]

@xRedFoo209x trade him to the warriors, well give you Andris biedrins.

[xRedFoo209x]

@its2realj what? Cousins is a good players.If they trade Andris,they will have to trade another one.The good trade will be David Lee and Cousins thats a trade.Andris and Cousins trade i think thats gonna be the worst trade in history

[porkboii]

Nobody ever understands Demarcus. Even in 2k12, I still don't know why he's always sitting at the top of the 3 point line.

[akaivan]

Fire westphal! I understand Cousins, he just wants to win. We have so much young talent on the kings and all we do is lose. Westphal just cant point them in the right direction. He keeps saying it takes time to get better, but guess what, GOOD teams also have times to get BETTER then they already are!!! so you cant use that excuse.

[its2realj]

@akaivan exactly, couldn't have said it better myself. The whole point of getting rid of rick adelmen was to tank and get young talent. That mission has been accomplished, now get a real coach and lets start winning. Paul westphal is a horrible coach and demarcus is not the first player to have issues with this coach ( tyreke, jason thompson, etc. ). If rick adelman was still here???? Kings would be not only a playoff team but a legit 5-6 seed.

[akatonysoprano]

Phoenix will take him off your hands. Trade him to us.

[ThePsalms149]

Wellcome to the real world Sacramento lol starring tyreke Paul demarcus marcus john and.........hassan whiteside lol

[YTSForever]

Demarcus is an arrogant/immature piece of shit

[delez24]

@YTSForever westphal is worse... can't come up with an offense

[YTSForever]

@delez24 I just think he's a little out of touch with the "present day NBA". I just hate Cousins attitude, he acts like a 13 year old kid on the court sometimes

[delez24]

The solution is to fire this cunt

[magyk233]

@delez24 the head coach? or cousins

[donthogtheremote]

@magyk233 players get wavied... or traded... or released outright

coaches get fired

hope that clears that mystery up

[its2realj]

@magyk233 easy cousins. This reminds me of when Chris webber had issues with donny nelson. And all the warriors fan know how that ended.....Trade demarcus to the warriors, well be happy to give you Andris Biedrins.
