The Houston Rockets are releasing DeMarcus Cousins, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. This allows the four-time All-Star to find a team elsewhere and garner interest on the open market.

While Cousins might not be the dominant NBA star he once was, he’s still an incredibly talented player.
I have no doubt at all that there will be several contenders who get on the phone to inquire about his availability.

When he’s on his A-game, we’re talking about one of the most dominant big men in the league. If he can give a contender a solid 15-20 minutes a night down the stretch, then he’s worth every single penny he’ll be paid.
He doesn’t need to be his old self in order to make a huge impact on the court. He just needs to bang around down low, grab some rebounds and score a little.
If he can do that, then he’ll be worth the cost of his deal.

The only question now is where will he land!
