Remember last summer? The Golden State Warriors‘ shock signing of DeMarcus Cousins sent much of NBA fandom into a state of turmoil.
A fifth all-star. A fifth! The knee-jerk reaction from twitter, always a reliable source of information, implied that the NBA season was over before it had begun.
The Warriors appeared invincible before Cousins. Adding perhaps the league’s most gifted offensive center to an already loaded roster seemed almost unfair.
Hindsight, though, is a wonderful thing, and as the 2018-19 season unfolded, it became clear that Boogie was not going to help Golden State on their quest for a three-peat.
