DeMarcus Cousins

DeMarcus Cousins and Kevin Love. Think about that dynamic duo on your team’s frontcourt. Following a gruesome Achilles injury, the Cavaliers might be able to uby Cousins for less than his actual value.

An absolute monster last season, Cousins averaged 25.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game. In addition to being an offensive powerhouse, Cousins averaged 1.6 blocks and steals per game. Talk about an impact player. Cousins figured out how to be impacted on both ends of the floor.

If Cousins, Love, and James teamed up, Cleveland would easily have the Eastern Conference’s most talented frontcourt.

The only ugly part about Cousins is his injury. This ability to come back and be 100% the player he used to be is still up in the air, but with New Orleans not actively shopping him, it looks like the Pelicans will ride it out anyway.

While Cousins might be off the board, with the right assets, every single player in the NBA is available.
