Pistons still intersted in Demarcus Cousins....

[Tahoe]

I said I'd consider it, if it could net us more value than just cousins. It's worth exploring.

I really like Monroe. So there's that. Maybe I'm overrating him as a player. But one thing a young team doesn't need when rebuilding is a fuck head on the roster. Maybe I'm too hard on Cousins, but I'm not for making that trade unless, like you said, we get Tyreke and then can move Cousins, but then we'd be down a big from having Monroe and Dre.

Just my 2 cents.

On the other hand, Detroit would have the requisite young, inexpensive talent to send back to Sacramento if it were inclined to take a gamble on Cousins. Third-year emerging star Greg Monroe would certainly get the Kings' attention, as he did before the 2010 Draft. A league source says the Kings took Cousins instead on Westphal's behalf.

"Geoff preferred Greg Monroe" before the 2010 Draft, the source said. "But (Petrie) was a friend of Paul's and he was trying to help him win more right away...when Paul was there, he did a lot of things to try and help him win games, because (former coaches Eric) Musselman and (Reggie) Theus had been such disasters. Paul was a contemporary of Geoff's; he was a smart guy."

Except, Detroit has no interest in him. At least not anymore.

The Pistons certainly were intrigued with Cousins before the 2010 Draft, and tried to move up from the ninth spot to get him. But once Sacramento took him at five, Detroit went for the next highly-rated big on the board in Monroe, and has been quite happy it did so.

Now, the Pistons plan to build around Monroe and rookie center Andre Drummond. There is no chance Detroit would move Monroe and leave itself with Cousins and Drummond -- who, like Cousins, is immensely talented, but has his own growing up to do after a lackluster one-and-done season at Connecticut before entering last year's Draft.

I have no interest in Cousins - dude has some issues and I'd rather someone else have to suffer because of them.

He might have all the talent in the world but if his head ain't right that's not gonna matter.

And why would we consider giving up Monroe for him when Monroe apparently has already started to fill the leadership void? Doesn't make much sense to me

Cool, we can use this as the OGT tonight.
