Cousins joining GS galaxy

DeMarcus Cousins will be ready to play at some point this season. And when he is, the Golden State Warriors will be waiting.

Adding a fifth All-Star to their already glitzy lineup, the two-time defending NBA champions on Monday agreed to terms with Cousins on a one-year, $5.3 million deal - not the biggest money move on day two of the NBA free agency period, but the most intriguing.

The low-risk, high-reward deal was confirmed by two sources who spoke to Associated Press on condition of anonymity because nothing can yet be signed.
