As for the warriors, no comments !
Dread it ! Run from them !! Destiny still arrives cheesy
If cousins just come back at 70-80% by playoffs , when they are done half of the nba will be destroyed. Perfectly balanced as all things should be grin

He's not even fully recovered. I guess we used the "ring" talk to get him. Nobody appreciated him and Pelicans bleeped him over. Nobody would pay a 280 plus pound guy with an Achilles injury max contract. I'm shocked how Bob Myers do these things.

I guess Bob watched teams put themselves out of competition/cap space then used the thought of a ring and playoff finals to get Cousins at $5.3M.

Some even say this came from the money KD sacrificed.

Lakers and co could not afford him. They don’t have cap for him. And Philly that do have good centers so they are holding out for Kawhi. At the of the day, we let McGee go for Cousins.

I cannot frigging believe it.

it obviously came out of what Durant sacrificed. If Durant had gotten his max contract, Warriors would be way over the tax and paid an extra $20mill for using the $5.3mill

Warriors again?
2019 champs confirmed.
They should make the warriors play the east all stars in the finals.
Curry
Klay
Green
KD
Cousins

What a dangerous 5. Good luck doubling

Don't be salty bro. As much as I don't like the move, you can't fault the warriors organization. Cousin was not getting any love by other teams and you can't fault the warriors for creating a friendly environment that makes it easy for players to fit in. Moreover most are scared of his injury so Warriors taking a risk here dude.

People forgot CP wanted that Max and Houston gave him. Not caring about leaving some cap for a good player.
Carmelo wanted his share and he got it.
Stars of other teams are getting selfish whereas warriors stars are taking cuts so d team could get......

Make other team down their homework too and no I ain't a warriors fan.

I'm rooting for LeBron and the Lakers though.

Heard no other team tried to make a deal for Boogie.

Almost 29 other useless GMs.

Boogie called Bob Myers himself.

Good for him, apart from Boston, Every other GM is doing an incredibly terrible job.

I am not happy that you guys snatched him up but I can’t be mad at this point.

All these teams that need a legit big man come playoffs couldn’t give him a call?

It’s a shame, and most of them need to be fired from their job.

Portland has all these guards and still went for Seth Curry when it was clear a lack of Big Men against Davis killed them during the freaking playoffs.

All needa be stoned.

Lol CP3 is a good example of how unserious a lot of these teams are about dethroning Golden State. Dude is already 33 but is taking 160m/4yrs when younger guys like Capela are due a raise and they also needed to hold on to Gordon and Ariza

Anybody still sweating the Warriors for just being the smartest and best run organization with the most selfless players is just being clueless

This.

This was how I knew how unserious he is about getting that one ring.

You make so much outside of basketball but can’t let go of 3-4 million dollars?

This guy has shoe deals, adverts and all. I applaud the warriors organization. If they find a way to keep four out of this 5 guys next year.... It is finished.

I refuse to punish someone for being smart over the stupidity of others.

Look at the lakers..... You signed Rondo when you are in a win now mode leaving cousins. I wonder who is going to spread the floor for them
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 3:30pm On Jul 03, 2018
I believe Lakers are not yet in win now mode, its more of let's wait one more year and see which young player will develop fastest. Then we add kawhi and another superstar in free agency.

As for demarcus the biggest fools were Portland trailblazers and indiana . Both teams require an elite big man. The problem in the league is that apart from the obvious brilliance of the warriors front office, the big boys are so stacked that there is no point trying to be competitive right now. Most teams need to rebuild.
Portland for example has no chance in the foreseeable future.

LeBron signed Sunday, Twitter exploded, Cousins signed Monday, Twitter imploded. The NBA off-season is wild.
Re: The NBA Begins by Thatwasepic(m): 5:18pm On Jul 03, 2018
state of the nba on july 3, 2018: it is rational for fans of teams that aren’t the warriors to be like “I hope boogie is still feeling the effects of the achilles injury.”
Re: The NBA Begins by Thatwasepic(m): 5:20pm On Jul 03, 2018
The Warriors let Los Angeles Lakers have JaVale McGee Sunday... and went on to sign one of the NBA's most dominant big men Monday. Cousins did suffer a nasty ankle injury last year, but there's no denying his talent. LeBron only got the spotlight for 24 hours and the Warriors came and stole it away, again.
Re: The NBA Begins by Thatwasepic(m): 5:21pm On Jul 03, 2018
Don’t worry, though, LeBron. You have JaVale and Rondo and two kids making dis tracks. You’ll be fine.

This is what i I told my friend, but because he started watching basketball before me, he believes my opinion doesn’t count. Houston shouldn’t have given CP3 more than $75m 2 years deal.

The problem now is CP3 who at 37 would still be getting 40mil. I'm suprised Gerald Green stayed for $2m they would have been really screwed had they lost him after losing Ariza

Lool maybe he's a Chris Paul fanboy because I don't see how this move is remotely beneficial for the Rockets hope of dethroning Golden State if they can't add anyone.

I heard Boogie's story and I been sorry for am. Na him take him hand call Golden State! Can you imagine the desperation?

Serious as his injury was you mean nobody could offer him a $12-15mil deal? Mozgov, TT, Biyombo are on 3 times the salary Boogie is due.

He figured if he's not going to get a big payday then might as well join the team best poised to win a ring as the Pelicans were not willing to go above the $8m exception. It literally made no sense to stay in New Orleans for an extra $3m.

On a positive note if you're a Warriors fan, Rudy Gay also suffered a torn achilles in January last year and was back for training camp. The risk is ridiculously minimal..

The puzzling thing for me is the Lakers have Ball and Bron that can handle the ball, even Lance Stephenson. Adding Rondo another ball handling non-shooter is bizarre

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:20pm On Jul 04, 2018
Ironically Boogie could still end up in LA next season and then I'd like to hear what hypocritical LeNomad fans who claim Golden State ruined the league have to say then

I'm also hearing the Pelicans offered $40m/2yrs but somehow I find it hard to believe he would turn that down and settle for just $5m at a Golden State where his numbers would definitely suffer
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 8:01pm On Jul 04, 2018
Lillard to the Lakers gaining traction shocked .
I say trade lonzo+Josh hart + 2 -3 picks for Lillard.

Lillard+Lebron+Kuzma+KCP+Ingram is a deadly core already. With rondo+stephenson+ Javale as a support cast. That team will do some damage this year. That team will beat the rockets
Then add kwahi in free agency next season.
