08:09 AM ET 03.13 | The latest transgression, elbowing Bucks forward Mike Dunleavy in the back of the head, something he says was unintentional, earned him a fourth ejection of the season. What do you do with DeMarcus Cousins? Seriously. What do you do with DeMarcus Cousins? If he were a toddler, you would send him to timeout. If he were a middle schooler, you would take away his Xbox. ... He has an infant of his own, for crying out loud. Yet his inability to control his impulses -- primarily his anger -- is dominating his otherwise productive third season, eroding relationships with teammates, alienating the league's entire officiating crew, and frustrating, infuriating and confounding his coaches and Kings officials alike.

In his defense, who doesn't want to elboe Dunleavy in the head. Am I right??

Adderall should be banned in all pro sports. if someone is taking that stuff & they are not hyper it's an instant advantage due to the fact that Adderall is speed. It just has the opposite effect on people that are hyper.

Pretty harsh to go the kid route. Mentioning someones parenting and speculating they suck is pretty harsh. I get he is a freak on the court but when he was in Lexington off the court he as just a big kid. Wasn't an **** or anything.

Demote him to the D League.

March 13, 2013  11:17 AM ET

I think he could do well in a different environment.
Other troublesome players have, it just takes the right group to deal with him.

True.

But he is better then an underachieving, lethargic PF with too much gel in his hair chucking threes all night, no?
