DeMarcus Cousins

C, Los Angeles Lakers

While multiple teams have expressed interest, DeMarcus Cousins has made the decision to sit out the NBA's restarted season to focus on rehab in preparation for the 2020-21 season, per Shams Charania.

The Lakers, Heat and Wizards were just a few of the teams connected to Cousins but ultimately this is the smart play. Boogie has dealt with devastating leg injuries in the past few seasons, and he hasn't even returned long enough for anyone to know how badly they've affected his game. He'll likely be looking at another short-term deal this offseason.
