DeMarcus Cousins Signs With Golden State

[PurplePride92]

I just don’t buy the notion that every move made in the league is about LeBron. The 76ers and Celtics were the future of the east, regardless of what LeBron did.

 

Every move in the league isn’t about LeBron but every move Golden State makes is an effort to stay above LeBron. He’s been the only thing standing in their way to a title for the past four years. Last year Houston gave them some issues so their moves are to stay ahead of those two teams. They know they can beat everyone else but they also know if they stay complacent and don’t make moves while LeBron and Houston are then they’ll get beat. I can’t help but feel that this was a shrewd and calculated move on their part.

 

NBA insiders are saying players are texting each other about not helping LeBron out and going to different teams from his. If the reports about Kawhi wanting to go to the Clippers now are true then it seems even more plausible that LeBron is a factor in moves being made more than we think.

[Voice of Reason]

I don't think this move by the Warriors is about LeBron. I think it is more about playoff matchups next year and matching up with the Rockets and others more than LeBron specifically.

[LIPTON BASH]

Ehhhh, this move was definitely to send a message to LeBron. LeBron went to the Lakers and they went from not making the playoffs to at worst 3rd favorite to win the title. The Lakers are making moves left and right. Adding dogs and goons to the team and then the Warriors add Cousins but it has nothing to do with LeBron? Yeah I ain’t feeling that theory.

 

The fact that the Rockets had the Warriors on the ropes is more reason for the Warriors to snatch up Cousins. This had everything to do with LeBron in LA.

 

If the Lakers don't add another star they will be lucky to be top 5 in the west.

You dont say. How bout that.

I’m good with that. I’ve said since LeBron joined that they are playing for keeps in 2020. This season I just want to see them make the playoffs.

I know, right? Not everyone wants to be on a super team, huh? Some guys want all the glory for themselves. Who’d have thunk it?

But it just seems like common sense that Golden State wants to make sure they make moves to stay better than everyone else. That’s the whole point.

Kawhi can get the max from the Lakers when he is a free agent next season. But if he wants to play elsewhere........

I agree. And right now everyone else consists of 1.) LeBron’s team and 2.) Houston.

 

Who else is a threat to Golden State?

Boston.

[PurplePride92]

Boston.

 

True. Boston deserves to be added to the list.

True

Or Lebron is the biggest donkey hat in the league and no one wants to play with him.
