Prior to and following the Kings-Wizards tilt Monday night in Washington, DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall talked with reporters about the possibility of one day hooping together.
The two former college teammates admit that it’s a subject they often discuss in private.
DeMarcus Cousins & John Wall talk constantly. So have they ever talked about playing together in the NBA? "

However, DeMarcus Cousins did seem serious about the possibility of one day reuniting with his former UK teammate, John Wall, in the pros.

Both All-Stars, however, say they’re happy in their current homes.
Per the WaPo:
“We talk about it all the time,” Wall said with a smile, after his Wizards defeated Cousins and the Sacramento Kings in overtime, 101-95.
Hours before the two went to dinner together, Cousins, playing coy while in a perky mood, expressed similar thoughts. […] “[Do we] talk about playing with one another? Is that your question?” Cousins asked a reporter, then grinning big just like Wall, “It’s come up.”
“Just trying to figure out what’s going to happen, you know what I mean?” Wall said. “[Cousins] loves where he’s at and I love where I’m at, so whatever we feel like gives us the best opportunity to win — I know what our [team] is here and what I want to do here. And it’s something I keep in my mind.”
