There's only been like 1 player that ever from this injury

Plenty of guys have returned from the injury.  The majority do.  Unfortunately, most don't fully recover.

Dominique and Sabonis are probably the two best case examples, but they're definitely not typical.

And neither were ever the same as I recall. Especially Dominick whose explosiveness was a big part of his prowess. In that regard Cousins doesn’t rely on his hops much so it may have less of an impact on him.

Posting up takes more toll in the body. That's why everybody is now getting away from it and practicing 3s instead.

What you are probably not realizing is recurrent microtrauma causes degeneration of the achilles tendon. Rupture is simply the end result that occurs when stress is applied to an already weakened tendon. Surgical repair will not correct what keeps weakening Cousins' achilles tendon. Since he took only 5 million dollars from the Warriors, when many expected him to get a max deal prior to the injury,  you must either believe: A) he would rather win than get more than 100 million more in guaranteed money, or B) that medical staffs did not advise teams to not sign him to more than a one year deal and not more than X amount of money (which clearly seems to have been low market based medical value). Same reason why Michael Porter Jr. went from consensus number 1 pick to pick 14.

Vomit, vomit, vomit.

I hope that's not true.  Now it feels like an actual loss.

Well it looks like he was trying, since it came down to GSW and Boston. Funny how we rarely ever hear of these things happening, always wonder if we are ever really into things that get reported.

That hurts.  Better to convince ourselves that it was never a close decision for him.

Cousins is a big guy and puts  a lot of stress with his play style. That Achilles gave up

I'm trying not to overreact, but I also don't want to be a homer. 

The only silver lining here is that Cousins is somewhat unlikely to stick around there for more than a season.  I feel like this is probably a "prove it" deal where he can show that he's still worth a lot of money post-injury and can piggyback on a ring while he's at it. 

In the meantime, 29 other teams are essentially hoping for injuries to GS (or else a greatly diminished Boogie, which is a sad story of its own) in order to have a chance, and that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.  We're looking at another season devoid of suspense.

Exactly this. Warriors by a mile... then Celtics. That does make me feel better  ;D

Or maybe that the Celtics weren’t that interested In him.
