Warriors want to help Cousins get a great move - Kerr
DeMarcus Cousins has a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors and coach Steve Kerr does not foresee him staying longer.
Steve Kerr does not expect DeMarcus Cousins to be with the Golden State Warriors next season.
The Warriors inked the free agent center to a one-year deal in the offseason after he left the New Orleans Pelicans.
But Kerr says it unlikely Cousins will be with Golden State in 2019-20, meaning the team's aim is to win a championship with the 28-year-old and see him earn a move.
"We made no bones about it when we signed [Cousins]," Kerr told reporters. "This is a one-year deal and we're not going to have money to sign him next year.
"We'd like to help him win a championship and sign a great contract somewhere else. That's the reality."
Cousins, a four-time All-Star, is currently sidelined as he continues to recover from a torn Achilles suffered while with the Pelicans in late January. He missed the rest of 2017-18.
The Warriors (8-1) announced last week he was making "good progress" in his rehabilitation from the injury and will soon begin participating in "controlled aspects" of practices.
