DeMarcus Cousins has signed a multiyear shoe deal with Puma. The contract has been reported as a multimillion-dollar deal.
Here are details from ESPN:
A four-time All-Star, Cousins signed a multiyear Puma offer sheet Thursday, sources told ESPN. His previous brand, Nike, will have 10 business days to match the multimillion-dollar contract because of its standard “match clause” rights on all expiring shoe deals.
Adding Cousins would provide Puma with a major-market star who plays for one of the league’s most dominant teams.
The timing is also ideal — adding Cousins a week before the start of the season lines up with Puma’s Oct. 11 global launch date for its first basketball shoe in nearly 20 years, the Puma Clyde Court Disrupt.
