A true death lineup for the Warriors
Curry/Thompson/Durant/Green/Cousins. Five all-star players lol.
Best lineup in NBA history? (assuming Boogie returns to his old self)
The thing is, he’s not going to be his “old self” because he’s going to be at 1/2 to 1/3 his usage that he was previously, let alone playing time.
And call me a pessimist, but I don’t see Cousins being fine with that long-term. With his history of immaturity and him wanting to highlight himself for another big contract, I sincerely don’t see him “playing nice” the rest of the season and playoffs when he realizes the extent of his limited touches and playing time, which is not only counter to his preferences but also his entire NBA history.
We’ve seen with young, immature guys on our own team how that works out. I’m also keen to see how Green and Cousins coexist with how volatile they are. We’ll get a good look up close next Saturday!
And I think it's telling that no NBA team wanted to give Cousins a substantial offer this season. It tells me GM's around the league think he's not going to come close to his old self this season.
