Beijing time on January 7th! According to NBA reporter Shams Charania yesterday, league sources revealed that the Bucks plan to lay off DeMarcus Cousins. Today, Cousins did not usher in a regular turnaround, according to Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski, the Bucks have officially laid off DeMarcus Cousins.
According to previous reports, the Bucks chose to maintain the flexibility of the lineup list before Friday's non-guaranteed contract in the league turned to a coverage deadline.
So far this season, Cousins has averaged 9.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Cousins is expected to attract interest from other teams. In yesterday's game, Cousins played 20 minutes, 5-of-8 with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, and in the 2nd quarter, DeMarcus Cousins played 10 minutes and scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block on 4-of-5 shooting.
Earlier, the Bucks officially announced that the team had officially signed DeMarcus Cousins. According to previous US media reports, Cousins and bucks signed a one-year unsecured contract. Salary expert Bobby Marks exposed Cousins' contract details. His total salary is $2,004,041, and if Cousins is not cut by 5 p.m. local time on Jan. 7, the contract will be turned into protection.
However, it turns out that even if the performance is good, it still has not been able to turn positive. However, the Bucks' experience still proves that Cousins still has the strength to play in the NBA, so I believe he can continue to win the favor of other NBA teams.
It is worth mentioning that according to The Athletic reporter Shams Charania, multiple sources revealed that the Bucks plan to use a 10-day difficult special contract to sign guard Langston Galloway. So far in the regular season, Galloway has signed two 10-day hardship special contracts with the Nets, playing four times, averaging 14.5 minutes per game, 3.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
