We all understand that the Warriors are fully within their rights to sign any player they like. We dealt with comments about "cheating" when Kevin Durant signed as a free agent two years ago. There is no need to restart a silly debate.The Warriors are a profe sional sports franchise. Their entire purpose is to put the best team on the floor, night in and night out. They want towin every single game they play. We all understand that. But that does not make their dominance any easier to stomach from a fan's perspective.This latest move only adds to the sense of helple sne s and, for many, anger already permeating throughout non-Warriors fan bases.MORE: NBA Twitter
Dominic Proctor Jersey was on fire after with the Warriors on Monday night. And while there may have been some logical reasoningon the signing Cousins is coming off a torn Achilles and didn't have any real offers it's hard to blame NBA fans for failing to be rational.WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE GUYS.!?? JAE CROWDER (@CJC9BOSS) There is certainly a chance that Cousins' injury prevents him from everbecoming an All-Star center again.But is that really the point? Doesnt Cousins at 75 percent
Zach Johnson Jersey make the Warriors that much more unbeatable?The past two Warriors teams have beenlargely unstoppable. Theyhadarguably two of the top three players in the NBA in Stephen Curry and Kevin Durantto go alongside two top-15 players in Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. And even though the Rockets gave them a major scare in the Western Conference finals, it was hard to believe that the Warriors would not waltz to a second consecutive championship.The only weakne s that Golden State hadwas the lack of a dominant big man inside and that wasn't a huge concernconsidering how the current game is played. A healthy Cousins now makes them video-gameunguardable. No matter what lineup the opposing team puts on the floor, the Warriors will have an answer. There is no room for error on the other side.It's not a stretch to say the starting five of Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green and Cousins will
Miami Hurricanes Jersey be the greatest array of talent the league has ever seen at one time.The last team to be able to put five players on the floor who were All-Stars in the previous season? Boston in 1975-76, according to Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) For the fans that have found it difficult to enjoy the NBA over the past two seasons, let me warn you it is probably going to get worse. LeBron James to the Lakers may have given you a tiny bit of hope that someone could challenge the Warriors next season (or at least add some intrigue).You may have envisioned the Lakers orchestrating a trade for Kawhi Leonard. James and Leonard going up against Curry and Durant? The Warriors would still be heavy favorites of course, but at least the Lakers would have a fighting chance.Cousins choosing to take a mere $5.3 million to join the "Hamptons Five" eliminatesone major element that makes the NBA so great. The
Frank Gore Jersey level of competition has always been so high. Sure, dynasties emerge, but there is usually a worthy challenger. From the Lakersand Celtics in the 1980s to the Heat and Spurs not so long ago, there is a sense that something crazy could happen in the NBA Finals.The Warriors have taken away this belief. This is different.I hope Im wrong. I hopethere is a team in the West that can give the Warriors a run for their money. I hope Brad Stevens can concoct a game plan to challenge the Warriors in an exciting NBA Finals series. Or maybe the 76erscan take another step in their progre sion. It would be great for the league.But I
Anthony Lawrence II Jersey dont think Im wrong, and that's a bummer for those waiting to watch another NBA season. Regardle s of Cousins' actual on-court impact, putting him on the greatest team of all time just looks bad.The Warriorshave (completely legally) removedcompetition, replacingit with inevitability and even the biggest basketball fans must recognize that.
