Cousins had confrontation with D. Greene regarding the decision on the last play in locker room and has to be separated, the source says.

was he in-bounding and DMC thought he should get the ball?

Cousins has grown frustrated that the Kings coaches and players don’t speak up more about Evans’ late-game decision making.

Tyreke Evans missed a three-pointer in the final seconds in a loss to OKC. Seems clear Cousins thought he was open.

Yep, and DMC
had good position on the block with his back to the basket and had sealed off Collison behind him.

My recommendation
Go to sleep. Don’t make too much of this. None of these guys are used to losing so much for the first time in their basketball career, and all these close losses get to be a bit much, especially for a passionate guy like DMC.
I’m going to sleep. We’ll see what happens.

after watching
Tyreke screw up close game after close game, and then having PW be harsh on him once only to retract that stance the next game (where Tyreke pulls the same stunt), I can really understand his frustration.
It doesn’t condone his behavior, though.

This has less to do with Tyreke than you are making it out to be
Its more about the losses and that Donte did not pass him the ball.
I don't think he was trying to make it have to do with Tyreke

It was not a bad play. It was a missed shot.
With 5 second left, no one was very open and passing the ball and rushing a shot was not the right play, IMO. Missed shot, nothing more, nothing less.

I think suspending him is the wrong choice
Fining him may have been more appropriate. But in not letting him play the team risk’s alienating him. That won’t stop him from speaking up, but it may stop him from learning to speak up in an appropriate way.

Live every week like it's Shark Week.
From JA Adande (ESPN)
Cousins became upset after he didn’t touch the ball on the last play, which resulted in a missed three-pointer by Tyreke Evans. According to the Sacramento Bee’s Kings blog, "Westphal said the final play wasn’t drawn up specifically for Evans and that Donte Greene had options inbounding the ball. Evans became the best option because he was open and the Thunder away DeMarcus Cousins in the post."
One source said Cousins and Green argued in the locker room, with Cousins telling everyone he wanted respect, regardless of his rookie status.

So 2 teammates fought
I dont see the big problem… Anybody who has played sports in H.S. or beyond has either been a part of a fight or witnessed a fight between teammates…What we had tonight was a young emotional player get into it with a struggling (cant get minutes on a horrible team) player. That alone is a volatile situation . To suspend DMC over this is going to put a major strain on his relationship with Management IMO…I hope Petrie knows what he is doing, because from my angle, he may be out the door before DMC is.

I definitely agree
that athletes are going to fight with each other. It is the nature of the beast. It doesn’t mean that the organization should turn the other cheek when it happens. Even if you think they should, which there is an argument for, the NBA has spent WAY too much energy making it’s players seem reputable for them to do it.
Damn Cousins was all kinds of pissed
He was getting held by Collison in the end, and didn’t get the ball off the inbounds. But Westphal was right, Casspi kind of screwed it up by running into the passing lane.

I agree, he's too affable, even with blow-ups like this.
I was more referring that he could be the type of emotional leader that can galvanize a team and not be afraid to chew someone out for screwing up. I just didn’t have any other examples of players that came to mind.
Ya
I think if he channels his emotions correctly he could be a great leader of the team. I don’t think Tyreke has the personality to be, or want to be, the true leader of the team so I think DMC has a great opportunity to really step up.

Just watched the reply several times
If donte would have been a bit more patient DMC had position on Nick Collison but not to terribly deep into the block. Tyreke had the hot hand and an ok look. I assume DMC would have shot a turn around (like the game winner he had in the summer league). I think both were not very makable shots.
It's all Jim Les' fault
I really thought that they were pretty tight nit as a group with regards to the young guys.
Ooops. We’ll have to hope that this can be resolved or I could see this really spinning out of control as the losses continue to pile.

No, he said Collison was holding his arm so he could go up for the rebound of Evans miss.
His dispute with Greene, may or may not be due to Green not getting him the ball off the inbound play.
Curious thought, DMC said that he was the 1st option, when the play was called.

I love this kid
I think he has the potential to be the greatest Sacramento King. His immaturity drives me nuts but his fire is just unquenchable and he’s smart. You can grow out of immaturity but you can never get past stupid. His actions aren’t justifiable but they are understandable. If he’s still doing the same things in 5 years…..too bad but I don’t think he will. DMC is going to take this team farther than Donté ever could. Our sad sack franchise needs a kick in the ass and if it takes a little heat from Cuz I’m OK with it. It’s going to be on the news cycle for the next week or so and make the Kings look even sillier for a while but crap, how much worse can we really look?
The talk of trading Cuz is so overblown and premature I can’t believe that it was brought up here. If this FO and coaching staff can’t handle this kid they shouldn’t be in professional sports. If the Kings decided they wanted to trade Cousins I would instantly become a fan of whatever team they traded him to.

It is better for team morale if the decision came from Petrie.
Petrie isn’t really part of the “team,” so his decision is less likely to make Cousins feel alienated from his teammates. It’s ok to hate your boss, but it sucks if you hate your coworkers. Hopefully, Evans, Donte and Cousins will apologize to each other, and maybe Evans will make better decisions late in games now. The players can say that they did not want him to get suspended, but the decision came from above so there was nothing they could they do about it. I think that this will bring the team closer together.

More details from Cousins-Greene situation. Cousins was yelling at Evans 4 last play, from tunnel to the locker room. Greene came in later.
Really?
It says Amick updated with that one half a minute ago…
I watched the play mutliple times
And if i was DMC, i’d be pissed too. First, he had great position on Collison, secondly Collison clearly held down his arms on the rebound, and third Donte did not seem to give much thought to Demarcus in the post, faked to him, then imediatly passed to Tyreke.
Okay... a couple of new rules for the Kings
1. In close game situations who gets the final shot will be decided by a game of rock, paper, scissor. Best out of 3 wins.
2. After a close loss, no one is allowed to talk, period.

Perspective
Man-child acts childish. Man…
New guy calls former ROY on his predictable end-of-game tendencies. Fan-boy behavior reflex to defend Evans apparently extends from fanbase to teammates. Why Greene got involved is an interesting story, I imagine. And imagining is as close as we’re going to get to the details, because we will never get the facts of this incident.
I’d still rather have this sort of thing once a week than have some seasoned pros who don’t give a shit whether they win or lose. They can play with black eyes and busted lips, as long as they keep playing.
When the dust settles, this ain’t gonna add up to shinola.
This does not “lower Cousins’ trade value” because no one is stupid enough to consider trading him. If this is your main concern, I’m not even certain that you’re a basketball fan.
Evans is not nearly good enough to be the go-to guy at the end of the game night-in and night-out, especially when the other teams all know he’s going head down into his shot, open teammates be damned. It’s not entirely his fault; the team lacks offensive weapons. But if Cousins was open and in position to do damage, he should have gotten the ball.
I believe I may have said this, but this really is a lot less meaningful than you’d think, given the 140-character freak-outs I’m seeing online.
Relax. They’re pros, they are teammates, they will sort it out, behind closed doors, and the season will continue.

It's too bad the team decided to kick DMC off the plane
Just because league officiating imposes BS on rookie players doesn’t mean the team management needs to. Seems like kind of a sissy la la act. This team needs leadership – sometimes you have to act fearlessly to get your point across. This team has had nailbiter after nailbiter loss.

the fight just happened and everyone in said fight was getting on a plane together right after. There could have been concerns about this thing bubbling up again later given a few of these blowups on planes have made the news over the last few years and gotten pretty ugly.

Fuck punk ass DeMarcus
Tryna start shit wit the homie Donte? DeMarcus can play but the dude needa check himself and quit actin like a damn child. Tyreke does make bad decisions from time to time though.

I disagree
Donte and his punk ass purple shoes are the problem. He hasn’t done dick for this team and walks around with more false pride than any other guy on this team. His false bravado needed to be checked.
Hasn't done shit for the team? Bull shit.
Donte isn’t the greatest player in the world but he still contributes. And he definantly contributes too getting involved with the fans and his team mates. He’s proud to be a Sacramento King and is a great guy.
Punk ass DeMarcus bitches up all the time and acts like a punk in general as well. Treats my homegirl like shit n ask her to give him head and fuk him n shit. The dude has no respect for other ppl and apparently not his team mates. Punk ass purple shoes? Thats the team colour idiot u gon diss a mans shoes? What a fuckin joke.

Hate to break it to you, but EVERY NBA player treats women like that.
Okay, not every, but many including a lot of the younger guys in the league that I’ve had the misfortune of meeting at a club or somewhere else (CJ Watson is a huge huge huge douche and JT tries to get at whoever looks at him).

Oh, Christ, sacbee.com comments are somehow posting in here.

This is what I know
Reke, Donte, DMC, JT and other Kings players all got together for the Superbowl at DMC’s place. Reke and DMC have been hanging out outside of practice and games, as a n example we have the Sac State game they both attended. Most of the guys also attend some bowling outings, Reke has been organizing. These guys are friends too. Friends have disagreements; friends get into fights. Was DMC AND Donte wrong for throwing punches? Damn right. And it was probably DMC who started it all so it’s on him to control his temper and stop making hothead reactions. But this is shit that happens between friends, colleagues, random people, you name it.
Cuz needs to control his temper, we all know that. Dude cares so much about winning (similar to Omri actually) that he just doesn’t know how to react to all this losing. Add his immaturity and you have a bomb ready to explode. He was wrong (and depending on what details come out, probably so was Donte) but as Sims said above, this may all end up being nothing in the long run.
This ain’t a war, Reke vs. Cuz, Donte vs. Cuz, everyone vs. Cuz. This is just frustration by an immature kid who doesn’t know how to handle himself. I wish someone in that locker room would’ve cared enough on that 17 win season to get into a fight.
I got these guys’ back until they’re not Kings. I knew it was gonna be a bumpy ride, but I’m not getting off the bus. If you don’t want this to be a bigger deal that it already is then don’t make it a bigger deal because it does start with the media but us fans are the ones that will continue to carry this on.
From everything we’ve seen so far this year, the team has handled everything well with Cuz, IMO. I trust them to do the same this time
