No surprise. An all star taking this big of a paycut is terrible for the players union too

Supposedly Cousins made his decision between GS and Boston.
Either way I’m not sure what to expect out of him next season.

I’m pretty sure no one would have a problem if it was Steph/Klay/Draymond/Iggy and Co. going on this run but this is the complete opposite of that. Developed group only has 1 championship that imo has been 100% linked to the draft and player development and that’s 15.
The last 2 (3 after this season) have been bought. They ran crying to Durant to join them after that embarrassing 3-1 finals. They wanted to trade for AD at one point this season too.
THEN AFTER THEY SWEPT A FINALS SERIES went and got the best center in the league for a bag of peanuts.
The warriors at this point are just some chumps now.

Wouldn't you say every championship has been bought then, using that logic?

Just saw the dumbest argument on twitter for free agency
“Players should be required to pick only from the top 5 most expensive contracts they are offered” LMAO

I thought about this but the difference for me at least is they didn’t need a KD at and they damn sure don’t need boogie. They are just doing because they can. They were 73-9 before KD they would have been fine without him and they are just coming off a back to back Championship run why do you need boogie. You could legit throw anyone in GS at this point and still win it all

True, they dont need anyone, but I believe what gets lost in all this is the fact the warriors have created a culture people are drawn towards, all the way down to fans. I don't know the extent of it, I ain't in no locker room, but people are overlooking this as a possibility of what is bringing them in.
Wait, they did need a center after losing Mcgee, Looney, possibly West, and possibly Pachulia.

People are saying if he's back to 70% of what he was then that's enough. It's a gamble and there's a long way to go, he's probably 300 lbs since he's been inactive for a while.

People on twitter and RealGM are really angry about this Cousins signing.
People keep saying the league should intervene or somehow veto a free agency signing? I'm like, "why?" Because we don't like it? Trust me, you don't want a league where the commissioner dictates where free agents can and cannot sign. That's a recipe for disaster. If he wants to sign for half or a third of his value then so be it. I'm sure the NBPA isn't happy with him though.
The sour grapes from opposing fans on this is hilarious. Saying stuff like "the league needs to change the rules", etc. A team is winning too much so we change the rules? That's some soft stuff that just screams of saltiness.
Players are in a tough spot as well. Players who maximize their money when it hinders team success are selfish and players who take deep pay cuts to win are spineless, taking the easy way, etc. We as fans only accept players winning when its on our terms.
As has been said before, we as fans created this environment where winning titles is the only thing that matters. The first thing we think about when players like Barkley, Malone, and Baylor are brought up is that they didn't win rings so its no surprise that we see players do anything to win. It seems as though fans want players to win titles but only under the circumstances they deem worthy. Also, Shouldn't we applaud players sacrificing to win titles?
