Regarding Boogie: reasonable flyer given Brook’s continued absence, the open roster spot, and the fact that there’s 6 weeks between now and when deals guarantee on Jan 7. Curious to see how he fits in as a 10-15 mpg type giving Giannis/Bobby a break from playing so much center. – 1:17 AM

The Bucks are going to add another big man to their lineup, so what exactly will he bring to the table?

DeMarcus Cousins non-guaranteed contract means the Bucks could waive him at any point (until the NBA’s guarantee date in early January) and have no further salary obligations after he’s waived
This contract gives Milwaukee up to 1.5 months to evaluate Cousins fit with their club – 5:38 PM

When today started, DeMarcus Cousins wasn’t a Buck, Bob Stoops wasn’t a coach and Lincoln Riley was certainly not the USC coach. – 5:35 PM

Michael Malone last month: “I think it’s crazy that DeMarcus Cousins is not in the league right now.”
Malone on Friday: “Back in the ’80s, ’90s it seemed like everybody had that true center, shot-blocker. Not everybody has that luxury these days.”
Today: Milwaukee signs Cousins – 5:11 PM

Milwaukee’s Brook Lopez (back) has only been able to play in one game this season … so the win-now reigning champs have made a win-now move by striking a deal with the best available center: DeMarcus Cousins.

Adrian Wojnarowski: Bucks kept an open roster spot, needed size and will bring Cousins into a strong culture on a non-guaranteed deal. Cousins played well for Clippers in significant stretches a season ago, and stayed in shape awaiting an opportunity. Now Cousins gets a deal on the defending champs. -via Twitter @wojespn / November 28, 2021
