Sacramento Kings preparing a mega extension offer to DeMarcus Cousins (around $200MM)
Kings ready to offer more than $200 million to keep Cousins
The Kings are not intentioned to move DeMarcus Cousins and are ready to make an important proposal to the big man next summer when he’ll become eligible for a contract extension.
Per ESPN, The Kings, as you surely know by now, are openly desperate to bring their 10-season playoff drought to a halt. Those who know Sacramento best continue to say that, as long as the West's No. 8 seed remains within the Kings' sights, they'll be increasingly reluctant to part with their All-Star center.
But sources also say that the Kings, at season's end, want to pitch Cousins on a long-term partnership in the summertime, knowing he's going to be eligible in July for a Designated Player Extension that could make him one of a handful of $200 million players league wide.
The latest signals suggest it would take a monster offer to get the Kings to tweak those plans.
