DeMarcus Cousins is one of the best player NBA. He qualified as a freelancer (FA) this summer but the situation is not good. There is a prospect that Cousins value will not appreciate in the market.
The biggest reason is the injury experience, Cousins suffered a major injury last year Achilles tendon ruptured injury. Cousins came back on the court during the season, But there is still a question mark on his condition.
Cousins average score of 16.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 30 regular league games last season. But he has fallen dramatically in the playoffs at the important stage. Cousins slumped to 7.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists in eight playoff games.
According to Reports, Cousins is not fully recovered. It seems to be a stumbling block in salary negotiations. Cousins received an annual salary of $ 5.3 million in Golden State last season. It is a decisive factor that he can not play a lot because of Achilles tendon rupture injury. When he came to Golden State, his annual salary was $ 18 million. Looking at the current form, it is unlikely that he will be able to receive the same high salary as in the past.
Meanwhile, Cousins have been linked to the Boston Celtics, clippers and Lakers. However, Boston is believed to be at risk because of his Achilles tendon injury.
