Trade talks surrounding DeMarcus Cousins have kicked into high gear the past few days with the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers reportedly actively working towards a deal.  Another report surfaced that Cousins wants to play for the New York Knicks.  Initially it was reported that Cousins had issues with the management of the team but wanted to remain in Sacramento.  New head coach George Karl is reportedly the person that wants Cousins out while Vlade Divac and Vivek Ranadivé seemingly don’t.  A Twitter user tweeted Cousins about the situation and Cousins reiterated that he wants to stay with the Kings.

There’s been major talk about possibily trading DeMarcus Cousins but there were also reports that the Sacramento Kings weren’t so willing to part with their franchise star.  Cousins although frustrated with the direction of the team, gave no indication that he was looking to leave.  Well they brought in George Karl as head coach and now HE reportedly wants to trade Cousins.  That of course rubbed Cousins the wrong way and as trade rumors heated up yesterday, he threw out a not so cryptic tweet early Tuesday morning.
