Is he? I've never seen him play for us.
You know who misses him more? The Pelicans. And the Kings. And the Kentucky Wildcats.

That isn't the point.

There are some on here who have said or implied the Warriors are vulnerable this year. They aren't.

Cousins is on their team. He would help a lot if he were playing right now.

And I disagree. The Pelicans are doing about the same without him as they were with him.

We are talking past each other. As you know I completely agree the Warriors are extreme favorites to win another title this year, and are not 'vulnerable'.

Cousins probably will help sure, but to me it just sounds weird to say they are missing him so that's part of why they have a 5-6 record lately. It's not him, they've never once had him so how can they miss him? They miss Curry and Draymond, not Boogie. That's all I'm saying.

Agree on the Pelicans I was just trying to illustrate my point. Cousins not being on the Pelicans changed that team's situation (for the better it turned out last year). Cousins not playing for the Warriors (so far)....what has changed for the team exactly?

I made a statement of fact. I said they were on the road against a good team without 3 all star players who are on their roster. Nothing more.

And if Boogie were healthy, my guess is that missing Curry and Green would be easier to absorb. Because Cousins is pretty good.

I also stated a fact, that Cousins has played exactly as many minutes for the Ws as the Knicks, Lakers, Wizards and most other teams. They are without other allstars too like LeBron James and James Harden. Also a fact. :-)

Anyway this is clearly bothering you, so I'll just say I agree Cousins will probably make them better whenever he shows up.

That was not the trade though:

It was the 3rd pick and a future 1 likely to be a high lottery selection for the #1 overall.

The trade wasn't horrible. It is The 6ers pick that looks terrible, not the trade. If they had drafted Tatum we aren't having this conversation.
well yah no fucking shit - they traded up knowing they were going to take Fultz.

Instead of Tatum and a lotto pick they have Markelle Fultz.

This is Wiggy when they are rebuilding, SportsHoopla.....we are very familiar with this character from Fan Nation.
its just the exact same type of moves they made last time they are setting up this time as well.

They are going to basically just rent out their cap space to other teams while they go through a rebuild and get back some assets for renting out that space. ITs not like the Cavs are the only team to do this. The Sixers did it wonderfully as did the Thunder.

Except a prime LeBron James isn't walking in the front door anytime soon.

Miami had a 30-point lead in the 1st half. Score's now Miami 79, NO 75. This team is simply amazing.

Those work as well. No chance for 18 years of suffering.

Well, I dunno, I got 2 kids and they are awesome. You'll see one day. 10 seems a bit much.
