DeMarcus Cousins Kings bigman requested a trade. The horizon changes for the Sactown.
Jan 1 2012, 6 ft and 11 in bigman DeMarcus Cousins demanded to be traded stated Kings coach Paul Westphal. Before Sacramento hosted the New Orleans Hornets, criticizing Cousins' commitment to the franchise and excusing him from the team's game.
"Whenever a new season begins, in any sport, there is great hope that everything will progress in only a steady, upward direction, Westphal said. As we all know, it seldom happens like that in this life! As coaches, we can only ask that our players do everything they can to improve themselves as individuals and teammates. If they do this with all their hearts, we live with the results. Everything that happens on a team does not become known to the public, Westphal continued. "This is how it should be. However, when a player continually, aggressively, lets it be known that he is unwilling/unable to embrace traveling in the same direction as his team, it cannot be ignored indefinitely"
