Last week, a couple of anonymous NBA executives made some headlines when they said that they could see the Los Angeles Lakers re-signing DeMarcus Cousins for the playoffs when the NBA resumes its season in Orlando.
How could the Lakers do that, you ask? Well, players have until June 24 to let their teams know if they’re planning to go to Orlando, and at some point after that, organizations will have a week-long transaction window in which to add players to replace those who choose to sit out (the exact dates for that window have not been publicly revealed).
