The Sacramento Kings might have finally had enough of DeMarcus Cousins.
According to Ailene Volsin of The Sacramento Bee, the Kings might be willing to test the trade market for the two-time All-Star:
“A year ago, Cousins was untouchable. A year later, the sense within the organization is (general manager Vlade) Divac is tempted by the prospect of pairing his center with his personally selected coach but that he has become increasingly frustrated by his center’s ongoing issues and, for the first time, is willing to test the market for the two-time All-Star.”
During a season in which the Kings missed the playoffs for the 10th straight year, Cousins publicly feuded with head coach George Karl. Although Karl was fired two weeks ago, Cousins re-ignited the feud by stating that had Mike Malone been head coach, the Kings would have made the playoffs in 2016.
Another reason for why Sacramento may be looking to trade Cousins is due to players calling meetings with management to submit complaints about Cousins' mood swings and attitude.

While the young center may have some baggage with him, it's going to be tough for the Kings to part ways with a player in the midst of his prime. Cousins is coming off of a 26.9 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game year.
As Sacramento looks for its 10th head coach in 11 years, it may be wise to have some stability entering the 2016-17 season.
