Yup. He’s not there long term either. 1 and done and out for a payday

That is far and away the most talented starting five in the history of NBA basketball. Legitimately an all star at every position, shooting and playmaking all over the floor.

No one ever plays well after tearkng their Achilles. Especially not fat 7 footers

Rudy Gay just recently bounced back pretty well after an achilles tear. It's a different time. They don't need him to be what he was last year, as long as he continues to be a stretch 5 with playmaking ability, that is flat out scary added to what the Warriors already have.

Gay was much reduced and doesnt weigh 270lbs.

It’s an interesting gamble. Mostly just reduces risk he hurts them in the playoffs as a Laker or Rocket. He’s going to be out most of the year and then rehabbing his game for the playoffs. It’ll be tough to hide him on defense, and he could make their offense even more dominant, but he also has some of the worst “plate discipline” in the league. If he plays well, they won’t be able to keep him.

Best case for Cousins is that it turns around his career and reputation.

Come on. Man.
This is against fair play.

The Warriors are making a mockery of the League.

You and I have a different idea of the word free. You can’t dictate where players sign. It’s totally up to them.

You got that. I Agree with you on that.

BUT, the Warriors are in Totality, making a mockery of the League.
They might as well put the Dream Team (1992) out there. (If this isn't already considered one.)

Next their sixth man off the bench will probably be Isaiah Thomas just to rub a little dirt

Love Randle to the Pelicans, for him, but they’re still treading water.

Hard cap coming with next CBA.

If I'm Adam Silver, I wonder if the growing lack of competitiveness ends up costing me my job. Frankly, he's been awful on this issue and a strong case could be made for his firing...the credibility of the league is in doubt.

There is no way the Warriors don't win the championship next year. Guaranteed champions. When was the last time that could be said in major professional sports?

Check is in the Mail. -- And the Championship is in the Bank.

This is really very bad for the League. They really need some type of Harder Cap Rules.

I'm choosing to believe that this is just one page in the book of how we land Anthony Davis.

Fire Silver? Dude has been great for the league.

The salt across these forums is embarrassing
