I honestly feel the Warriors did this to block Cousins to LA. Dirty dirty scrubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrReality Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 The Warriors have some strong locker room personalities that will keep him in line or else. A much more mature group than Sac town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 But this gives us more time to retool. It’s going to be 2-3-4 years before we have a chance to have a chance ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean let’s face it they were gonna prolly win it next year before this signing...now... it can only go downhill imo and I hope it does. I agree for the most part. It’s more comical than anything. But there’s a chance it clicks and that close series with Houston becomes one-sided. I’m not a Warriors hater though. I’m a Celtics hater and for that reason I hope it clicks since they’re the favorites in the East now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyRoc Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Let’s not kid ourselves. If you thought they thought he would disrupt the team, they would have never signed him. They brought him in because he’s big, he can pass, shoot, and score inside. The Warriors have probably just built the best team Ive ever seen if Cousins comes back healthy. They are the defending champs. No way they pull the trigger unless they know Cousins will buy into the culture. They just locked themselves in for a run the next 5 yearsjust as long as they can keep the best pieces together. I’m saying this as someone who knows that Cousins wasn’t as good as his numbers shown. This will be a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan2331 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Cousins can't stay in Golden State past this season. I imagine no team was willing to come to him long term, so this deal gets him an easy ring and another shot at free agency next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted July 3, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Cousins problems have always been overblown due to the disproportionate coverage the media gives them. He was a great part of a very talented team at UK and if he isn’t outstanding in GS it will be moreso a product of his recovery from a very serious injury. This is a steal for GS. The only thing I like about it is imagining Magic Johnson handing out cigars this afternoon: Magic: Light em up boys....we just stole Golden State’s only long, athletic center on the roster. Without McGee we just sabatogued their roster. We may not have gotten Paul George or DeMarcus Cousins or Chris Paul to go with LeBron but we upgraded our interior and devasted those pissants across the bay. Junior Assistant GM: Ummm...Mr. Johnson? Magic: Mr. Magic. Junior Assistant GM: Right...Mr. Magic... Golden State just signed DeMarcus Cousins. Magic: &:$% me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBac Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Apparently none of the other teams in the NBA offered Boogie a deal. Say what you want about his attitude, he's outperforming a 5M contract on his worst day. Hard to feel bad for other competing teams if true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you want about his attitude, he's outperforming a 5M contract on his worst day. Hard to feel bad for other competing teams if true. Yep. According to Marc Spears this morning on the radio, Cousins didn't have a single offer from any other team in the league. Not one. So Boogie actually called GS to ask about the possibility and the only option was the ME at $5.3 Mil. He then called and talked to Steph, KD, and I think Draymond and all were excited about welcoming him to GS. So he called the GM back and said let's do this. I know everyone wants to hate on the super team concept (and I hate it too), but at least in this case, it isn't really players getting together to make it happen so much as the rest of the NBA saying "no thanks" to Cousins. So it's hard for me to hate on the deal when literally no other team offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't had any locker room problems since he left the Kings. I'm not denying the risk, but he's an All-NBA caliber player when healthy and locked in. Letting him sit out the majority of the year wouldn't hurt our tank this season. Boogey wasn't taking $5 mil from the Hawks. From GSW sure. I've seen that play out before with Shaq, will to take the vet min from other teams but wanted the $5 mil MLE from Hawks. 7 hours ago, AHF said: Cousins problems have always been overblown due to the disproportionate coverage the media gives them.

nathan2331 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 This exactly, Give him 2 years, 30 million. A two year deal, with the emphasis being on the second year. Shoot, if it was up to me I would've given him 3 years up to 70 million with a team option on the third year if he would've taken it. I think he'd at least think about that offer. His market wasn't there this offseason. We don't need him to play this year, keep him away and let him do his rehab separately, then slowly integrate him back into the team. If we moved Schröder for Biyombo or another expiring, we'd have cap space next year to pursue someone else. We're wasting time right now. These picks for cap space won't turn into much, besides Denver I don't see us getting quality talent back. We're on the clock, this tank needs to end before Prince gets off his rookie contract. I realize we never even considered it, but I really think we missed an opportunity that could've changed our future in a positive way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted July 3, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Per DMC, the only offer he received was one from the Warriors. Pellies didn't even contact him and picked up Randle intend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
