Cousins signing with Warriors

And so much for the "not a single offer" for Cousins. Remember, this is a whopping ONE DAY into the free agency period. And since he didn't have an offer he WANTED (not that he didn't get any offers or interest, he absolutely did), but he more or less says here that he planned this as his "chess move". i.e. he took the move for the chip.

New Orleans Times-Picayune beat writer Will Guillory refuted Spears’ report later in the evening.

Other teams had interest as well, even if they didn’t make any official offers. The Blazers were reportedly targeting Cousins in a sign-and-trade move with the Pelicans. It also appears the Boston Celtics had interest, but didn’t move quickly enough to lock down the suddenly-inexpensive All-Star.

My question to everyone is would any of you want Cousins on our team for the deal he signed?

I agree with you btw.

I think it's more important for the Jazz to sign Favors than for the Warriors to sign a locker room cancer like Cousins. He's just the type of guy who could mess with their chemistry and cause their downfall -- though I doubt Kerr will allow that to happen. You never know.

Nope. I think it could help the Jazz. Boogie is the kind of guy that creates massive drama and hurts his team a lot on and off the court. He’s a guy that will struggle to see the court when they go small, and he’s counting on this season to get him his next big contract. He won’t be quiet about seeing a lot of bench time in key moments. He’s going to create friction in that locker room.
 
I actually think this helps us against GS and heres why:

* Rudy and Favs have been a tough matchup for Cousins in the past.

* Isnt it a positive when GS take the ball out of Steph/KD/Klays hands?
GS has played with 'opportunity' bigs, guys who take 2 or 3 shots a game and get a few oops and putbacks... DC is going to be hunting 12-18 shots per night at a minimum, thats 3-5 shots a game that Steph, KD and Klay wont be taking, EACH. Im sure they'll trounce teams in the regular season but it'll come back to bite them in the playoffs.

* Theres a chance he rushes back and re-injures himself. Theres also a chance he gets fat as hell with all this time unable to do cardio.

* The really are throwing a fox in with the chickens so itll be interesting how the locker room aspect plays out.

Regardless, I dont think the Boogie acquisition hurts teams like Utah and the 76ers as much as people think.
