    Assume Cousins heals well and returns with everything including his post game, rebounds, shooting, passing, and handling. Will he make the Warriors better overall? or will he make the, worse?

    Its gonna make them worse short term. Boogie is like the center version of Melo he doesn't play any defense with a wack leg and he is gonna have to take touches in the paint.

    Long term its gonna make GSW very dangerous good thing is he is only a 1 year rental. Win or lose this year is the last year of GSW dynasty anyway since the Cupcake Snake is leaving out of spite unless Draymond is traded.

    Think it being 1 year will make them worse because he's playing for a contract. I don't think he's going to be happy getting the touches he will get...and if they do end up getting him the touches he desires then it will take the ball out of Curry's and Durant's hands which is good for the other team.

    I don't see it working out.

    Better. He knows he's coming off the bench and not getting the touches. He just wants to get fit again and play in the playoffs in a winning culture. Sure he will think that he should get more shots, but I think he will keep it to himself and work hard regardless.

    I think he's an impatient person, but I think he has already written off this season. He is aware they are not going to let him have the kind of usage that would result in a max contract. He wants to clean up his image, prove he's healthy and get some critical experience. He might challenge the coach on minutes later on, but still I think he knows his path back to a max contract and franchise player status is for this season to pass without any problems, with high efficiency, and low usage.

    To have a bad season (minutes and PR) while on the MLE and coming off an injury, it would guarantee no one gives him more than $15m next season. He cares about money a lot. So does his agent obviously. He will keep it in check just because there's too much at stake.

    He got all the tools but it isn't easy to make an already championship team better.

    Physically, he will be severely limited until sometime next year. Once he's healthy he'll only be able to do so much. This will force him to play within himself and not get in anyone's way. Therefore, he'll make them better.

    Demarcus Cousins taking minutes from Bell, Looney, and Jones makes the Warriors better

    Whoever voted NO are morons.

    If DeMarcus came here now he would instantly be hailed as a savior for us.

    If he is at 75-80% of what he was he would still be better than Clint.

    I am trying to wrap my head around the fact how some posters think he makes the Warriors worse, but makes the Rockets better. If that is not the definition of homer then i domt know what is.
