I mean I'd say at this point they are like 50/50 to win the NBA finals. However, when they sign ME, it'll be a lock for sure.

Try Pierce, KG and Allen. Totally wrong on this one bud and they never signed for the MLE in their prime
Pierce, KG, and Allen were the actions of a great front office. Lebron, Wade, and Bosh were players that colluded beforehand to form a super team. Letting everyone in the league know the players has the power to do it. That had much more effect than Boston. Yeah, The Dubs drafted three good players, but signing KD made it unfair. Cousins even more so. When the best player in the league and by many people’s opinions ever (not me) runs to another team for almost certain titles, it makes it okay for every other player to do so.

I really don’t know how you can blame this on Boston. They didn’t create the first big three.

Depends on if Tristan gets enough help.

One can only do so much.
If Lebron truly love Cleveland, he'll orchestrate a trade to get Tristan out to LA to replace Randle and free Cleveland from that shit contract.

The Warriors just need to sign everyone in the NBA. All the players get a participation ring.

The Cavs will need one or two puzzle pieces if they want to be contenders now that LeBron's headed to LA. The Cavs with Sexton, it'll be a fresh new start for the team.

Really the perfect timing

Don't worry, they'll be drafting top 10 (at least) for the next 3 years, too.

Theres one superteam, the entire league is completely unwatchable now, should be ended
Nah, I think it’s intriguing. I want to see that team play. The dubs will probably be like this for 1 year.

Expect an invitation to the Hamptons.

Only in how the players were acquired, not in the spirit of building a "super team". In that way, Boston set the tone. They were the only legit "Big 3" in the NBA when they won the title, which is why they won.

That's a big difference. Using assets is completely different than 3 friends teaming together. The Warriors were a super team before KD, only because of the assets through the draft(and one bigger FA signing in Iggy)

Risk? He will be the 4th option on offense and gives them a big down low. He basically took over for JaVale McGee
It is a win, win for all involved. Cousins is coming into an already made squad with all-NBA talent squad surrounding him. He will get to win a ring, get back into playing shape after his Achilles injury and then sign a big multi-year deal next year.

Cousins a 4th option? You've obviously never seen Cousins play.

Cousins has one of the top usuage rates in the history of the NBA. It's not because coaches have called plays for him at that high of a rate....it's because he doesn't play within an offense and the moment he touches the ball he just does whatever the hell he wants.

He is undeniably talented. But he is a complete bafoon. The only thing lower than his basketball IQ is his real life IQ.

This move is taking shots away from Durant, Curry and Thompson. And it is going to slow up GS's ball movement. This move has a decent chance of completely blowing up in the Warriors face IMO.

The NBA has becoming more boring to watch, now the Warriors have achieved ultra-team status with the signing of Cousins. Why watch it anymore? They have all-stars in every position without a major weakness, might as well polish the trophy and give it to Warriors. Huge joke of the sport.


Easy answer.
Fanduel.

I will bet you any sum of money that the warriors win the title next year.

Eh, Warriors/Celtics is an absolute lock to be the NBA Finals, the entire regular season is a waste of everyones' time, and no other team should even try to win

The nice thing about Cousins signing with the Warriors, is he can take his time getting healthy. The Warriors would be happy if he is ready for the playoffs.

To do this after winning 3 of the last 4 titles is a joke.

They really don't like competition
