Sacramento Kings Talk (Demarcus Cousins)

Let's start by saying that Demarcus Cousins is the best big man in the NBA today. He is having the best year of his career statistically averaging 28.1 points 10.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. And his team is having its best start to a season since he was drafted. The Kings are competing for the 8th spot in the playoffs with Cousins leading the way.
There has been a lot of talk about the Kings offering Cousins a big extension in the off season in the range of $200 million. But there is a lot to consider, Cousins is a loose cannon with the reputation of a hot head and bad teammate. He is tied for the lead in the league in technical fouls with 10 on the season and has lead the NBA in techs since he has entered the league. Some say he is just an emotional guy who just wants to win.

All that being said it is now his 7th season and his 6th head coach. So do you say yeah give him that contract extension,he finally has a good coach and some continuity ? Or do you say it is time to pull the trigger and make the trade? His value has never and may never be higher than it is now.
Personally I have stuck up and defending the guy for 6 years. He is a great talent who just seems to have a hard time controlling his emotions. Give him time he will grow up and get it and then the Kings will compete again. Who has he had around him? What has the franchise done to help him? I've said all of this in the past. But I'm here to tell you I'm done with it. His constant bitching and complaining at both ends of the court won't stop. He can't be trusted to not blow his top and get a stupid petty tech that just kills the moment and energy of the team. It is time to trade him and start a rebuild with the haul of talent and draft picks you would get in return.
What do you guys think?
Should the Kings trade him or offer him the big contract extension?
Can he ever control his emotions and lead a team deep into the playoffs?
Can't wait to here your feedback.Go Kings
