Sacramento Kings’ DeMarcus Cousins Wants To Remain With Team
DeMarcus Cousins drew headlines when he found himself at odds with former Sacramento Kings head coach Paul Westphal. However, since the dismissal of Westphal, Cousins has quieted his voice down and you have not heard a lot from him.
Cousins is beginning to fit in well with head coach Keith Smart and is willing to stay with the Kings long-term, according to Chris Tomasson of Fox Sports Florida.
“Absolutely, this is where I want to be,” Cousins said. “I’m loyal to the city. I’m loyal to my fans. I’m loyal to my team. I’m loyal to the organization.”
Cousins is averaging 16.7 points per game and 11.3 rebounds per game and had his $3.8 million option picked up for next season and will probably pick up his $4.92 million option for the 2013-14 season as well.
