After next season, the best center in the world DeMarcus Cousins will become an unrestricted free agent. With that in mind, there’s speculation that general manager Vlade Divac may be inclined to deal Boogie.
As the Feb.23 trade deadline approaches, Divac elected to put the talk to rest for now.
“We’re not trading DeMarcus,” Divac told ESPN. “We hope he’s here for a long time.”
According to sources, Divac met with Cousins and his representatives to inform them the 7-footer won’t be shipped away.
