Upon waking up, the Bucks officially laid off Cousins, and the two sides parted ways after less than two months of cooperation, which was quite regrettable. After the buck GM Horst gave the reason, netizens were even more angry.
Cousins signed a one-year unsafe contract with the Bucks on November 30 local time, and he played in 17 games, including five starts, averaging 16.9 minutes per game, scoring 9.1 points, 5.8 boards and 1.1 assists.
Bucks GM Horst said: "We couldn't have had this tough season without Cousins. Cutting Cousins was a strategic decision that freed up a squad, but nothing stopped us from continuing to work with him in the future. ”
Unloading and killing donkeys, business alliances never talk about loyalty, and opportunities are left to those who are prepared. After cutting Cousins, the Bucks planned to sign Galloway to a short 10-day contract. Galloway has previously signed two short 10-day contracts with the Nets, made four appearances, and averaged 3 points, 2 boards and 1.2 assists per game.
In fact, the judgment of Kaoshen is not as simple as Horst said. After the big injury, Cousins' pace slowed down, and the defensive strategy ability weakened is an indisputable fact. But in the face of the epidemic, he is still a good replenishment of immediate combat strength. The Bucks did have strategic considerations in making this decision, and the team's locker room problems cannot be ignored. Cousins said, "Brother Alphabet doesn't like my statement, I think he is hiding from reality and is unwilling to face up to the team's problems." ”
Judging from the Bucks' performance this season, although they are in third place in the East with 25 wins and 15 losses, their mental outlook is far less tough than last season. It can be seen that Cousins' words are not unreasonable. However, since the right person is the first to correct himself, since he has been swept out of the house, it is better to re-correct his attitude and actively plan for the future.
