This is exactly why winning shampships is the most overrated thing in sports.

Yeah. Probably should just stop keeping score and skip ahead to the orange slices.
I am not. Orange slices are great.You say that like it's a bad thing.

ok...had some time to process this
im not upset as he exercised his right as a free agent, but he is lying about them not offering him a deal or contacting him
thisYeah, I find it hard to believe he wasn't offered a better deal money-wise. More than likely, he threw a fit cause he didn't get the deal he wanted.
Fuck Boogie and his Achilleslol Boogie to DUBS

The Celtics as a team and corch are infinitely more likable than this team of cowards and nutkickers doe
That’s my point. The fanbase is what makes the Celtics awful. Not Stevens, who is one of the most likable coaches in the NBA, and their players.
Yeah LA is probably the West 2nd best team. Who’s going to challenge them? A Spurs team without Kawhi? Houston after taking a huge hit losing Ariza and potentially Capela? PG/RUSS?
Errz-DUBS or Errzz-Celtics Christmas Day? Gotta be LA-GSW yeah?
Most NBA people two days ago: Boogie Cousins has an attitude problem, doesn't fit well with other star players, and is coming off a major Achilles injury. Many NBA teams even have a "no Cousins" policy for free agency. LOL at any team that signs him.
Same NBA people today: Cousins went to Golden State? That's not fair! They are too stacked!

But here's the reality that Cousins had to deal with, and now has to start rectifying in Golden State: His image. There were teams with space who did not want him in their locker room or organization.
Kawhi's on the same team he largely skipped out on the entire regular season due to health concerns and is actively trying to remove himself from. It's gone so far that his side is leaking info that he'd consider sitting out the next season because he wants out of SA so badly. At this point, you have to consider the Spurs as they were last year without them, which was the 7th seed.What team is Kawhi on right now? Sure if he goes to LA they are #2, but he’s not yet.
Capela ain’t going anywhere and the Rockets are definitely above them
This. He didn't get the deal he wanted so he took his ball and went home.There’s a difference between “man I would not want to give Boogie the max with his injury history and attitude issues” and “signing for the MLE on the best team for one year”
Evil’s right. ACTUALLY, Cousins going to the Warriors is very good for the league and not at all incredibly stupid. It’s certainly believable that no one else would offer an All-Star more than $5.3 million. I guess they were worried about signing him to too much money and having evil criticize their dealmaking.
According to Zach Lowe, the Pelicans were going to give Cousins a lowball offer (this was even before NO signed Julius Randle). According to Lowe, because there was such a small market for Cousins in view of his injury, the richest deal 1 year deal available to him might have been a full midlevel exception contract of only $8.6 million. The same people who thought Cousin's market value was less than $9 million per year are now the people who are crying that Cousins going to Golden State is breaking the NBA. Um, ok.
