The Golden State Warriors and DeMarcus Cousins know their arrangement. This is a one-year marriage before the All-Star center cashes in elsewhere.
"We made no bones about it when we signed him," coach Steve Kerr told reporters Thursday. "This is a one-year deal and we're not going to have money to sign him next year so we'd like to help him win a championship and sign a great contract somewhere else. That's the reality."
Cousins remains out of the Warriors lineup while recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon he suffered in January.
