09:58 AM ET 12.29 | The early word from the DeMarcus Cousins trade watch, according to the latest rumbles on the personnel grapevine, is that Kings co-owners Gavin and Joe Maloof remain reluctant in the extreme to part with their young big man, especially at a time when -- after three suspensions already this season -- Cousins' trade value isn't exactly on the upswing. There's a growing sense among potential suitors that under-fire Kings general manager Geoff Petrie, who has overseen zero trips to the playoffs under five coaches in the six-plus seasons since Rick Adelman left town, would be willing to move Cousins, preferably in exchange for a dependable veteran of quality or two who could bring some instant improvement to a franchise stuck in lottery land and still plagued by an uncertain future in terms of where this team will be calling home in the long term.

I'd like to seem his with D Rose or with the cavs.
Rose needs a better group of supporting cast players and Cousins fits that bill.

Cousins is the epitome of why the NBA's ratings and popularity have trended downward in the last 20 years.

We've been watching the slow death of a franchise. It's been all downhill for the Kings since Game 6 of the 2002 playoffs vs Lakers.

For Cousins' personnally, he would benefit most from playing for a club like LA, if the Lakers would let Gasol go to make the trade happen. For the Kings, they need to deal with a club that has a high quality big they could swap for that has the character and championship experience they totally lack. If they could talk LA into the trade, I would recommend it. LA would get younger but I doubt that they want the headache and distraction he would bring, considering they passed on Delonte West. Still, they might. Everyone would come out ahead. Cousins is lost in SAC.

Agreed, move that team already. Seattle is looking for a team.
