Once upon a time, Cousins, born in 1990, was considered the hope of the league's future center, yes, strong body, excellent footsteps, coupled with a full range of skills, Cousins gave the league's defenders a headache, and more importantly, Cousins was equally good on the defensive end, believing that Downs was full but could not hit Cousins The picture is still vivid in many fans.
However, the glory belongs to the past, and today's Cousins is in a difficult situation, more than a month after the start of the new season, Cousins only got an unsecured veteran contract from the Bucks, but for such an opportunity, Cousins also seems to cherish it.
On December 23, the Bucks played against the Rockets, Cousins was 7 of 13, including 1 of 4 three points, and got 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, of which points and rebounds were cousins' season highs.
18+8, this statistic makes many fans cheer for Cousins, but to be honest, this data was once a basic operation, even a downturn, for Cousins, who was able to cut 27.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.3 blocks at the peak.
Before you know it, Cousins, who was fifth in the first round in 2010, has entered the league for 11 years. How much did Cousins earn in 11 years? Coupled with all these years of ups and downs, can you believe that Cousins, who was once in the league's mighty style, only earned $91 million? This salary is now the salary of Curry, Lillard and others for 2 years, and it is important to note that these salaries are only Cousins's book salary, as we all know, the salary of NBA players needs to deduct 33.61% of the federal tax, 9% state tax, 10% of the league trusteeship and so on, which adds up to 56.01% of the tax, which also means that Cousins actually has only $40.4 million.
This money seems to be a lot, but for Cousins who came out of the slums, the improvement of his living environment after getting rich overnight, the improvement of the conditions of parents, relatives, and friends, coupled with the spending of money in nightclubs, Cousins pockets do not have much money left, which is why Cousins has always insisted.
In fact, Cousins once had the opportunity not to worry about these problems anymore, but Cousins's strength pit himself, that year in the Kings, the team offered Cousins a contract of up to $200 million, but Cousins wanted to go, so he twice refused the Contract of the Kings, and finally when the Achilles tendon injury came, Cousins regretted that it was over, on the matter of career salary, Cousins's insistence made him suffer heavy losses.
