The buzz following the superstars in this year’s NBA free agency has been going around the clock for the past three weeks. But, all has remained quiet on the DeMarcus Cousins pursuit leading up to July 1st.

Wojnarowski also noted that his achilles is worrisome for teams who would need to invest a max contract into Cousins, not knowing how he will rebound from the injury. If Cousins can get back in a groove, he is the best center available in free agency, and even the league.
Before tearing his achilles, Cousins averaged 25.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and, 1.6 steals, 16. blocks and even shot 35% from three point range.
