LA Clippers

The LA Clippers can give DeMarcus Cousins everything he wants. The limelight, a chance to win, the offensive priority and a reasonable salary which should all couple to make up Cousins list of needs this offseason.

Ranking those needs will be entirely up to him. As for the Clippers, they could give him all four of those, and they could do while still having significant money left over.

The Clippers may also be able to sign a max free agent like Kawhi Leonard. Combining Cousins and Leonard along with their young core would be ideal for the team oftentimes forgotten about with the Lakers looming over the city of LA.

After waiving Marcin Gortat, the Clippers are now without a long-term plan for the center position. Montrezl Harrell has been giving the team solid minutes, but they certainly need to get a consistent force at the five this offseason.

A borderline playoff team, the Clippers are just a few pieces away from being a true title contender. Those few pieces could be Kawhi Leonard and DeMarcus Cousins.
