Let's talk a little bit about D.Cousins situation. He's injured. New Orlean doesn't want to risk and make a contract with him. That's clear.
Ok what happened next. Cousins made deal with Warriors only for a one year, yes for a small contract, only 5 million. The thing is,that he will not play until Christmas or even All-Star weekend. So he will come back hopefully only on February. And that's fine for Warriors. They're don't need a team leader, a guy who can go and score 20 points average. Cousins can focus now only on his healthy, and make sure that he will return fully recovered

Just imagine if he will made contract with some team, some weaker team..And then probably he will be pushed to come back strong to game, be a team leader and etc. Now he don’t need this, even Warriors don't need that. If Boogie will start play somewhere in the end of February, slowly, limited minutes..Good for him, good for Warriors to have that quality player from bench.
So for me is WIN WIN for both. And after one year Cousins hopefully will leave GSW and go to some weaker team, to make better statistics and then to make deal for a better contract. That' s what I’m thinking. Really smart move from Boogie !
