The US media website shows that Cousins signed a contract worth about $65,438 +0.62 million. The former all-star center suffered three major injuries and his market value fell to the bottom. His treatment is obviously not as good as that of Howard last season. Although Howard signed an unsecured contract with the Lakers, it was a standard contract, and Cousins only signed a training camp contract first. He wants to prove that he deserves to be left behind by the Rockets through his performance in training camp.
Cousins is willing to accept such a miserable contract because he really has no other better choice. The general managers of the league all know Cousins is a talented center, but they are discouraged by continuous injuries. The rocket gave such a contract and minimized the risk. This is a training camp contract with a basic salary. If Cousins can stay healthy, he will certainly make a lot of money, but if he is injured again, the Rockets will not lose anything, because his contract will not be fully guaranteed until the end of February next year.
Since his career, Cousins has averaged 2 1.2 points, 10.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. Since the league began to count assists in the 1973-74 season, only 1 1 players have averaged at least 20+ 10+3 in their careers, and Cousins is one of them. In the 20 18- 19 season, Cousins played 30 games for the Warriors, averaging less than 26 minutes, and still contributed 16.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists 1.3 steals 1.5 blocks.
Cousins in a healthy state is still worth looking forward to. Si Tong, the new general manager of the Rockets, said: "He has completely recovered from his past injuries. The problem now is that he needs to really enter the basketball state. He needs a training camp to meet this requirement, just like everyone else. "
