iii:
On April 7, 2010, Cousins announced that he would forgo his final three seasons of collegiate eligibility and enter the 2010 NBA draft, where he was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the fifth overall pick.
On July 7, 2010, Cousins signed his rookie contract with the Kings, worth about $7 million for the first two years with a team option for the third and fourth years.
To bulls:
Cousins has been productive in his role through 17 games this season, but general manager Jon Horst said that Milwaukee wanted to keep the optionality of an open roster spot ahead of the Feb. 10 trade deadline.
There’s a league-wide deadline of Friday to guarantee non-guaranteed contracts for the rest of the season.
