    Kinda seems like CJ was blindsided. I wonder if they were in touch and had talked about POR before Cuz signed in GS.

    It's a little too late, CJ.

    I’m going to watch the games regardless of who I work for or what moves are made. Who is playing where doesn’t really bug me like it does most on here for some reason. ANybody else watch 3 meaningless NBA games yesterday? I have hoop issues.

    A cynical take: What if Boogie is struggling with rehab and is not really going to contribute this season? GSW is letting him rehab on their dime, in the hope that if someone else gets hurt late in the season, Boogie will be able to contribute a little down the stretch. Boogie only cares about getting healthy and getting a big payday next summer - so even if he *could* play, why rock the boat?

    A team as rich in assets as the Warriors can make that sort of move. For a team like the Blazers, it would have been stupid.

    The Blazers did the same with Ezeli that didn't work out. This one will. He'll be ready for the playoffs.

    Cousins said he'll be ready for training camp as far as he's concerned.
    It's the Warriors that want to rest him until January.

    Basically it's similar to what Wes went through, when he wanted to get back ASAP.

    They don't really need him until playoffs anyway. They will give him around 25 games towards the end of season to integrate him in the team and that's all for regular season IMO, no need to risk his health by playing him early. KingSpeed is the only person in the world who thinks they will struggle to make the playoffs.

    I really don't see a better move for Cousins here either. This is the only team in the entire league thta will not desperately need him to contribute in 2018-19. Anywhere else he went he would be expected to provide productivity and help them win which could only hurt his stock ahead of 2019 free agency.
