The Rest of the NBA

[BigEd76]

For those on the "should've taken Cousins instead of Turner" bandwagon:

Word is that handling rookie forward DeMarcus Cousins is proving to be an even bigger job for coach Paul Westphal and his staff than expected, even after the Kings hired Cousins' high school coach (Otis Hughley) in hopes of keeping the 20-year-old -- freshly relegated to a bench role -- plugged in. One source close to the situation told ESPN.com that Cousins was fined recently for clashing with members of Westphal's staff. I've also been advised that it's not one-and-done as far as such clashes go, which has created a level of tension that -- anticipated or not -- obviously isn't what the Kings need when they're already operating at such an experience deficit on top of their serious defensive frailties. No one doubts the potential possessed by the Kings' precocious tag team of Cousins and Tyreke Evans. But as one veteran scout warned me during summer league in Las Vegas, when tales and hints of Cousins' volatility and immaturity spread quickly: 'It's always risky to have two young divas on the same team.' Didn't take long for the Kings to find out.

Greg Oden is done for the year again.  Another knee surgery

Microfracture surgery on a different knee.

I'd make a play for him. Why not? Maybe the Blazers take Iggy and a lottery protected pick. At worst you have a guy with a huge upside.

[reese125]

Is that last line sarcasm? I know it's early and I'm still half asleep, but I'm pretty sure that last line says the Sixers could get a guy with a lot of upside in Oden.

[ice grillin you]

gotta be sarcasm because not only does he have zero upside but he will probably never play again

hope he purchased a phat insurance policy

[SD]

I'd take a chance on him for a guy like Igoudala. He's only 22, so there's still plenty of upside if he can come back from surgery - which people do.

[ice grillin you]

there more of a chance hes older than jose contreas than there is of him actually being 22
