Lakers reportedly among teams interested in DeMarcus Cousins

Cousins signed a one-year contract with the Lakers before the 2019/20 season, but was released due to an injury

According to Kevin O’Connor, the Los Angeles Lakers will be among the teams to pursue DeMarcus Cousins.

Yesterday Shams Charania revealed that the Houston Rockets are planning to part ways with the former Kentucky big man.

Cousins played 25 games for the Rockets, with averages of 9.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.4 assist, shooting 37% from the field, 33% from beyond the arc and 74% from the foul line.

Sources: The Lakers will be among the teams to pursue DeMarcus Cousins.

The market will be limited for Cousins, sources say. He has struggled this year after returning from multiple major injuries. But for LA or any team in need of big man depth, few options bring higher upside.
