Golden State gets its Boogie on (Cousins signs with Warriors)

Thanks for making me laugh at a time I was really upset. haha

 

They do it like that because it stings more. They love that "hahaha" moment.

 

Even if he isn't health they have 4 all stars.

 

He just needs to play as well as Javale McGee in limited minutes. He doesn't have to be anywhere near his All Star self to make this a good 1 year signing. And somehow I think he'll easily exceed that even if he doesn't recover completely.

Worse case scenario is that he is no better than McGee. But he is being paid about the same as McGee anyway so it's not like he is costing them in salary.

 

Wes Matthews on the Mavs never really did come back to normal. It doesn't take more than a few percent drop to make a difference in the NBA, or any professional sport, really.

It may indeed be interesting watching the chemistry. Boogie is a lot like Green...and not sure you need/want two of those on one team.

 

Adam Silver and these current players have ushered in the era where Championships are overrated...

 

It would be interesting to hear his spin, err, answer to that. I'm with you on being less interested in the NBA. Like watching a sporting event you already know the winner of.

I do think a group statement would be both appropriate, and might even do some good. Literally just a statement. See how many tens of thousands of fans might sign it. Hundreds of thousands? Millions?

This is similar to the KD signing. Their numbers might show a boost in ratings, but its all from casual fans. Hard core fans grew less interested. Leagues don't pay much attention to that, figuring hard core fans will always be there. Ask baseball how that worked out for them, once the hard core fans finally had enough, and left in droves. Baseball started competing with NASCAR and Hockey for fourth most popular sport. It takes a lot to get the hard core fans to leave...but if they ever do, it's also really hard to get them back. Casual fans come and go at a whim...they could be gone any time. Then who is watching?

 

I'm not worried. We have Zhou Qi and Chinanu Onuaku, Ryan Anderson, the Brazilian Beast Nene, and hopefully Clint. We will be a force to be reckoned with when you add in PJ, James, Chris, and EGO. OK, I said it. Now I feel better.

 

It would be totally fine if Cousins signed with a team that won NBA best 65 games while dealing with injuries though.

 

Morey to all other GMs, "Alright who's gonna take andersons contract and help me beat these ********ers"

GM's should collude with the Rockets and help them beat the warriors, might as well...

 

It's an embarrassment. I think the league is so happy with all the scoring that it doesn't want to enforce stuff like that.

 

Can't be mad about this, these guys are selling their souls to live the easy life. He could've signed with about a dozen teams for significantly more money and chose not to. This isn't about being competitive OR making money. It's about the safety of the herd.

 

Dwert looking at Cousins the way McGee stared down his teammate for snagging the last rebound he needed for what would have been his first triple double, no matter how pathetically engineered - all wounded and sad and angry.

 

Who knew Lowe was a Worrier shill...

 

Cousins has a rep for being dumb and firey but a good locker room teammate.

I think he'll do his best to blend in. The only risk is the recovery and how he comes back and fits in Kerr's system.

I don't think that's too big a problem as he can do his own thing for fifteen minutes and that would be a win.

Thanks NBA
