Watching star center DeMarcus Cousins battle through various injuries over the course of the last two seasons has been saddening for NBA fans. Regardless of which team he plays for, it’s evident that Boogie is one of the most self-contained superstars in the game with a classical bully-ball playstyle complimented by exemplary passing chops, jump shooting and ball handling for a man of his stature.
Toughness has always been an integral part of the San Antonio Spurs’ team construction, but times have changed, and the organization now lacks that added level of physicality. For as farfetched as it may seem, San Antonio could have an opportunity to pursue Cousins in free agency this Summer because of his injury history and contractual uncertainty.
