Seeing Dwight Howard flourish in Asia, will DeMarcus Cousins follow in the footsteps of Chinese Taipei?
Not long after Dwight Howard arrived in Taiwan and made a debut that made the whole territory "explode" with joy, another high-class bigman from the NBA is likely to follow in the footsteps of the former Lakers player.
According to some news sites in Chinese Taipei, DeMarcus Cousins is in talks with a team in the T1 League (the league in which Howard plays) and will soon set foot in this new land.
A local journalist and several unnamed players in the T1 League confirmed the above information. They could not reveal the exact location and team that Cousins will set foot in.
However, some rumors indicate that the 32-year-old bigman, who once played for the Golden State Warriors, will play in the south of Chinese Taipei, where two teams are stationed: Tainan TSG Ghosthawks (Tainan) or Kaohsiung Aquas (Kaohsiung). .
Fans will need to wait for official information from both DeMarcus Cousins, the T1 League side as well as the team that is ready to pay huge amounts of money to recruit the American striker.
Currently a free agent and not given opportunities in the NBA, DeMarcus Cousins is fully allowed to negotiate contracts with other teams.
It seems that after Howard's impressive debut and the warm affection this bigman received in Asia, Cousins was interested and intended to temporarily leave the NBA.
DeMarcus Cousins was picked by the Sacramento Kings in the 5th round of the 2010 NBA Draft. He stayed with this purple team until 2017 before being traded to the New Orleans Pelicans.
Unfortunately while flying high with the "swarm of pelicans" and the pair of cards of Anthony Davis, Cousins ruptured the Achilles tendon and witnessed his career plummeting until now.
Being unemployed, trying out at a foreign club will be a mental boost for Cousins. This effect will be positive if “Boogie” can complete the procedure to compete in Chinese Taipei, where he is sure to receive a warm welcome.
