According to New York Times NBA writer Marc Stein, Cousins has enlisted Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports as his new agent. Schwartz represents a variety of clients in the NBA, including Blake Griffin, CJ McCollum and Kevin Love.
Most recently, Schwartz helped his client, veteran big man DeAndre Jordan secure a four-year, $40 deal with the Brooklyn Nets. Schwartz was also able to recently lock Harrison Barnes in with the Sacramento Kings for four-years, $85 million. Based on his track record in helping clients secure large deals, Cousins likely hired Schwartz in hopes of ramping up and maximizing his free agent value.
