08:18 AM ET 01.03 | Fans in Detroit reportedly took to Twitter in hopes that the Pistons might make a run at trading for DeMarcus Cousins, but it's unlikely. [Cousins] is the most talented player on the Kings roster, which is why team officials immediately -- and shrewdly -- on Sunday quashed any trade speculation regarding their second-year center. Trading Cousins would be dumber than the dumb things Cousins does that get him in trouble. It would be a panic move, not a panacea. ... If the behavior issues persist? Then we talk trade. Now, we talk peace. But this also begs the question. Since Cousins, 21, stays, how exactly does coach Paul Westphal repair the relationship? Westphal has few options.

They know they wont get anything for him. He is a well documented head case, who is completely immature and would instantly bring the morale of a locker room down.

...and then we wonder why these athletes/entertainers have a sense of entitlement and privilege. They get the best of everything in the best league and still it isn't enough. They're just to talented to not accommodate. Give me a *ph_cking* break.

This is why I'm not a fan of the N.B.A. anymore. There is no love of the game anymore. I'd rather watch the WNBA than these clowns.

Perhaps, but I'm not so sure they aren't working towards their next contract more than anything else. It's a business after all. ;^) In all honesty, I blame management for this as well, with this situation as proof.

They shouldn't have even drafted this guy, with his well known history of this type of behavior. Attitudes like his will keep a team down, no matter how much talent they are able to get.....Ask the Jets.

Probably makes more sense to sit Cousins down and try to resolve their issues. Moving Cousins should be a last resort. It makes no sense at all to move him and become the Timberwolves.

I love how whenever this happens in the NBA you get the same comments of thats why I don't watch this league anymore , its just about money to them. Albert Haynesworth, Jamarcus Russell, Peyton Hillis it was all about love of the game for them, right. And I am sure baseball contracts are all about loyality and love of the team. All pro sports have these problems, from a group of their employees. If you don't like pro basketball, fine, but come with a better argument. D Rose and Durant seem to be doing fine with their new contracts.
