Don't buy the "Blame DeMarcus Cousins" narrative

Related Topics: DeMarcus Cousins, Grant Napear

There's a growing sentiment that the Kings would be better off trading DeMarcus Cousins. We've been down this road before. Even Tom Ziller, our beloved Editor Emeritus, suggested as much before the start of the season. But it's become surprisingly loud in the past few days, and from outlets with suspect motives.

Grant Napear, one of the best play-by-play men in the league, is difficult for me to stomach as a sports talk radio host. He has a long and well-documented history of pushing narratives from within the organization. He's close to the team, hears the chatter, and often using that chatter to position his opinions on players or potential moves.
