Adrian Wojnarowski sources have confirmed that an NBA free agency deal has now been confirmed for DeMarcus Cousins for a one year contract with Lakers. If the reports are true Miami Heats were also interested in the Cousins. But it was Anthony Davis and other players who convinced Cousins to come to Los Angeles Lakers.

NBA Free Agency DeMarcus Cousins
DeMarcus Cousins has had a stellar run with the Warriors. He has averaged 8.2 rebounds and 16.3 points in 30 season games that he has played under Warriors. These are the points after returning from Achilles injury. DeMarcus Cousins also suffered from torn left quadriceps in the playoffs but later returned in the finals of NBA. But it is still unclear that what role will Cousins adopt in the Lakers team.

Lakers weren’t done with their recruits and are still taking ample quality players through the transfer window. Lakers were very disappointed as Kawhi Leonard went on to the other side, over to the Los Angeles Clippers. Wojnarowski’s and Ramona Shelburne reports never disappoint and they have confirmed that Rajon Rondo is well on his way to return to the Los Angeles Lakers on a two-year deal.
Rajon Rondo returns to LA Lakers
Rajon Rondo averaged 8.0 assists and 9.2 points in the 46 games that he played for Los Angeles last season. Rondo has also featured in games alongside Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins in New Orleans in 2017-2018.
Rajon Rondo, Anthony Davis along with the Cousins also helped the Pelicans to their mere second playoff appearance since 2011. With all the trades that Lakers have finished at this point of time has rejuvenated the side.
