Cousins signing with Warriors

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Or maybe fans are sick of watching super teams take stars from small markets. Maybe it's that. Just maybe.

WHAT SMALL MARKET HAS DEMARCUS COUSINS EVER HELPED?

He has only made them worse. He contributed heavily to the Kings being a pile of trash for 7+ years. He also made the Pelicans worse.

Again, WHEN HAS DEMARCUS COUSINS CONTRIBUTED TO WINNING BASKETBALL?

I might be wrong. He could be amazing on Golden State, but the history of achilles surgery says he will barely play at all this year and if he does, he will be a shell of himself (which is a guy who has never helped a team be better). They don't have bird rights, so this is a 1 year thing. The Warriors honestly did this solely just for the reaction of dumb fans on twitter.

It's not just DeMarcus Cousins. It's these superstars all joining together and leaving small market teams that did everything they could to keep them.
Hayward, George-leaving Indiana, Durrant, Chris Paul- Pericans, Deron Williams, Crymello, Shaq, Lebron, ect..

Who cares? Players can go where they want. I'm so tired of people crying about this stuff.

No one wanted the dude.

Put up or shut up. The Jazz were a better shooting Rubio (to start the season) and a healthy Gobert away from being one of the top 3 teams in the league. They’ve given themselves a chance to keep everyone from that team and possibly improve if a good deal comes around.

Quit crying about Golden State and figure out how to beat them. Become the Giant Slayers. Houston was a healthy Chris Paul away from doing exactly that.

Achilles injuries(like most injuries) are certainly tougher on older athletes. Not trying to downplay it as it will have a effect on him but Cousins is only 27, he still has hope. For a guy who's done a lot of head scratching things on the basketball court this might actually be the smartest thing he has done. He can take as much time to recover and be just used as a role player seeing limited time on a team already stacked with talent. Not a whole lot will be asked of him this season and hell still end the season with a ring.

He can take as much time to recover come back and could be just used as a role player on a team already stacked with talent.

It is worth noting to my knowledge, big guys who tear their Achilles never seem to be the same again. Cousins isn’t real old yet, so he may be okay, but he’s a big dude.

Dude is a huge skilled monster... Achilles stays attached and he will still be effective.

It's getting to the point where it doesn't matter what move you make if your team isn't in California, Texas, Boston or Florida you are screwed.
Look at the NFL, that league has a real salary cap, franchise tags and non guaranteed contracts. The teams that have the best coaches and GM's get to superbowls.
It's really not that hard to understand this.
