DeMarcus Cousins was just traded to the New Orleans Pelicans. He is no longer a member of the Sacramento Kings. He is now a member of Jidion Premium. Zachjmayer (talk) 05:50, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: Deal is not official until the end of the moratorium, which is now in less than three hours. I'm sure when he officially signs, it will be promptly added to the article. &#8209;&#8209; El Hef  ( Meep? ) 13:43, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Public service announcement
Do not try to place any signs he was joining a team until July 6 or 7, as that is the end of the NBA's July moratorium. This is done in case we have another Deandre Jordan incident. –Piranha249 22:41, 3 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I posted: "On July 2, 2018, DeMarcus Cousins announced 'I'm a Warrior.'" I also added a link to the video of DeMarcus Cousins saying that on the phone and in the edit summary added "I'm a Warrior." Piranha249 undid this (for the 1st time) and wrote "July moratorium, guys" as his only explanation for removing  DeMarcus Cousins' quote.


 * As the completely unexplained "July moratorium" did not appear to be a valid reason to undo the cited quote "I'm a Warrior" I added it back. I included "Undo unexplained edit 'July moratorium, guys.'" The quote is sourced and is from DeMarcus Cousins himself." Piranaha249 reverted my information (for the 2nd time) and as an explanation added "July moratiuam [sic]" without any additional information.


 * I again added DeMarcus Cousins' quote and added that it was removed by unexplained edit "July moratorium." For the 3rd time today Piranaha249 removed my information and gave as his explanation "Unexplained? try googling /July moratium [sic] before calling my reversions that."


 * Only after removing DeMarcus Cousins' quote for the 3rd time in one day, and telling me to "try googling/July moratium [sic]," did Piranha249 take it to the talk page to finally explain his reason for deleting DeMarcus Cousins' quote. Is there a policy or guideline or consensus that not even a quote from the player himself can be added before the NBA July moratorium ends? If there is will someone please post this information, and whatever happened to the 3 revision rule? This was not vandalism and I see no policy or guideline or consensus that would be cause to remove DeMarcus Cousins' quote. Jerry Stockton (talk) 01:49, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Free agent deals aren’t updated on Wikipedia until they are official. The free agency period started on July 1, but no deals can be finalized until a week later. This is so the NBA can certify that deals fit under the salary cap, etc. signings and associated content aren’t updated until after they are official and the team announcing the signing is what makes it official. This is true of all signings, high profile or not (LeBron James is being handled the same way). At the end of the day, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a news or sports site so the standard is the signing being complete and official. Other sites like ESPN.com are looking to break the news so they report as soon as they can. That’s irrelevant to an encyclopedia. Rikster2 (talk) 02:41, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, at least that is a better explanation than Piranha249 gave "Unexplained? try googling /July moratium [sic] before calling my reversions that." I still maintain that his revisions were almost completely unexplained. Just posting "July moratium [sic]" is hardly an explanation to revert a cited and linked quote by DeMarcus Cousins himself. As you stated yourself, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, I would have thought that well documented information, like this quote, should be included. Jerry Stockton (talk) 05:59, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * If something was to be added, it should not be that single quote, which has no context for anyone not already familiar with the NBA or its current events.—Bagumba (talk) 06:27, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

He has officially signed now, and it’s updated in the article. Per WP:NOTDIARY, we don’t also need the trivial, verbatim quote that he said “I’m a Warrior” days before he signed a contract. Per, WP:ONUS, we dont include everything merely because it is true.—Bagumba (talk) 00:13, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Cousins attended Erwin High School (Center Point, AL) for two years then attended LeFlore Magnet High School in his hometown of Mobile, Alabama.[2] He was a first-team Parade All-American in 2009, and played in the 2009 McDonald's All-American Boys Game, finishing with 14 points and 8 rebounds.[3] Cousins also played in the 2009 Nike Hoop Summit at the Rose Garden in Portland and the Jordan Brand Classic at Madison Square Garden where he scored 10 points for the black team.[4] Cousins led LeFlore to the Alabama class 6A Final Four against Hillcrest that beat Austin High School to progress to the state championship; falling short to future college teammate Eric Bledsoe and Parker High School.

Height
Cousins' last listed height on NBA.com, before being waived by the Lakers, was 6'10".archive The NBA standardized heights that season to measuring without shoes. This conflicts with current NBA.com/stats at 6'11", which is probably not updated.—Bagumba (talk) 04:28, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Lakers ring
Regardless of whether the Lakers issue him a ring for 2020, we do not list him as "NBA champion" in the infobox per WP:NBARING.—Bagumba (talk) 08:50, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Technically Demarcus Cousins is an NBA champion and should be credited to him where all his accolades are presented on the page as well as Troy Daniels, both were lakers who the team gave rings too thus proving both are nba champions from the 2020 lakers run 68.224.208.65 (talk) 10:43, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
