DeMarcus Cousins suspended indefinitely

Stop us if you've heard this one before. Via Yahoo! NBA:

DeMarcus Cousins was suspended indefinitely by the Sacramento Kings on Saturday for ''unprofessional behavior and conduct detrimental to the team.''

Cousins and Kings coach Keith Smart exchanged words in the locker room during halftime of Sacramento's 97-85 loss at the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night. Smart benched Cousins for the entire second half and ordered him to remain in the locker room.

Cousins also was suspended one game without pay by the NBA for striking O.J. Mayo in the groin during a loss at Dallas on Dec. 10. Following a loss at San Antonio on Nov. 9, the league suspended Cousins two games without pay for confronting Spurs announcer Sean Elliott in a ''hostile manner.''

He's got a good amount of talent, a lot of potential, but if he can't get his head on straight, develop some professionalism and grow up a bit, we may well see him wash out of the league, or at least never be the player he's capable of being. He is still young and it's not as though players can't "get it" as they grow older - Zach Randolph has pretty much left his bad reputation behind him since joining the Grizzlies - but right now the incidents are just piling up for Cousins.

''unprofessional behavior and conduct detrimental to the team.''

How is that any different from letting him play?

He's been talking a lot since the off-season how he's ready to become a true leader of this team but I guess it was all cheap talk. Fucking hell...

He is uncoachable. Mainly because he thinks everybody around him is a fuck nigga/bitch nigga/fake nigga or something like that.

People compare him to Zach Randolph but Zach Randolph was a guy who actually cared about the game and winning and listened to people trying to teach him. He had off court troubles because he wanted to be a gangster with his gangster friends but he had the right mentality to atleast learn and improve and was a willing listener.

Zach Randolph is smart too. You don't get to be one of the biggest dealers of marijuana if you don't have something inside your head.

Unfortunately, management including coach Keith Smart hasn't been too smart either. I want this team in Seattle now so at least they could make one DeMarcus fan happy in Lamrock.

And his suspension has been lifted after one game.

Guess they smoothed things over quicker than expected, or simply felt the message had been sent. Christmas Miracle, I suppose.
