Former NBA center DeMarcus Cousins has suggested the Minnesota Timberwolves should target a former champion, according to a report from Heavy.com. The recommendation comes as the Timberwolves continue their season following a 97-87 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers at Target Center on December 13, 2024.
In that matchup, Lakers forward Anthony Davis matched up against Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert. Minnesota's win improved their record as they navigate the Western Conference standings. Cousins, a four-time NBA All-Star who won an NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors in 2018, offered his perspective on potential roster moves for the franchise.
The specific former champion Cousins referenced was not detailed in the initial report. The Timberwolves, led by head coach Chris Finch, have built a competitive core around Gobert, Anthony Edwards, and Karl-Anthony Towns.
