NBA Free Agency Rumors: Lakers Passed On Signing DeMarcus Cousins To One-Year Contract

After LeBron James signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, all of the attention was on how they would fill out the remainder of the roster for the 2018-19 NBA season.

As the Lakers re-signed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope while signing Lance Stephenson, JaVale McGee, and Rajon Rondo, the Golden State Warriors had a response of their own.

In perhaps the most surprising signing in league history, DeMarcus Cousins signed a one-year, $5.3 million contract with the Warriors, who have won three championships in four NBA Finals appearances. Although Cousins is still recovering from a ruptured Achilles injury, the Warriors potentially have five All-Star players in their starting lineup.
