 This was followed by signing twenty-six-year-old center Kosta Koufos for four years and US$33 million with his role envisioned as backup for Cousins.With the free agent signings done, Divac turned his attention to attempting to mend the relations between the team's head coach Karl and its star center Cousins ahead of the 2015-16 season, admitting publicly on July 9, 2015 on CBS Sports Radio's "The Jim Rome Show" that the relationship between the two "isn't pretty right now".A few days later, on July 13, 2015, during a 2015 NBA Summer League game in Las Vegas, the two shared an awkward on-camera handshake as Karl approached and Cousins reluctantly shook the coach's hand before turning away.
