What It Means:

Here we go again. After it looked like Cousins would sign a long-term extension with Sacramento, the team has gone back to shopping their big man around the league. While the exact nature of the conversations the team is having is not clear, it seems to be in the best interest of both parties for Cousins to get a fresh start elsewhere.

Cousins is averaging 27.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game this year while posting a 5.4 nERD rating, the 23rd-best mark out of 463 NBA players.
