Cousins sick of hearing about trade rumors: 'Man, give it a break'

DeMarcus Cousins played only two minutes in Sunday's All-Star Game, fanning the flames emanating from cyberspace that he was on the verge of being traded by the Sacramento Kings. Afterwards, he rolled his eyes at the latest rumors.

"Man, give it a break," Cousins told reporters. "I just need one All-Star where it's just All-Star questions. This is my third one, and it's always been something."

The latest rumors Sunday had Kings general manager Vlade Divac with two possible trades to present to team owner Vivek Ranadive, who has reportedly grown tired of Cousins' penchant for technical fouls.

According to USA Today's Sam Amick however, Cousins told the Western Conference coaching staff that he was dinged up Sunday and didn't want to play heavy minutes in the glorified exhibition contest.

"I'm happy," Cousins added Sunday. "If it happens, that's a decision they make."
