Hey guys! Today's post is going to be different because I'm going to be talking about sports, something new on this website. Specifically, I'll be talking about NBA player Demarcus Cousins joining the Warriors.
Now, some of you know that I do indeed watch basketball, and that the Warriors are indeed my favorite team. I've been a fan of them since the 2013-2014 season, when I started watching basketball when I was 12 years old. His decision was announced almost 2 weeks ago. A vast majority of the NBA fanbase are comparing Cousins' move to the Warriors to Durant's move back in 2016. They're calling Cousins weak and a "snake" and trash talking him for joining a team that's already dominating the league. They're also putting a lot of hate onto the Warriors for agreeing to sign with him and again stacking up their team. You know what I say? Cousins, like every other NBA player in the world, wants one thing: a ring. He couldn't do it with the Kings, he couldn't do it when he joined with New Orleans Pelicans center Anthony Davis. The Warriors were interested in signing him, and he saw his chance and he took it, just like KD. You have to evaluate what's more important: staying with a team that's pretty weak WHEN compared to multiple other teams in the league OR switching teams to actually have a chance to win the championship. Besides, who wouldn't want to play with the Warriors? They're such a fun team. They have players able to drive effectively, players creating shots for other players, and of course players who can shoot incredible threes. The Warriors also didn't sign Cousins just because of his power in the league; no, the Warriors actually needed a big like him. Cousins is a dominating center in the NBA, and a lot of people thought that he along with Anthony Davis together in the Pelicans would have been devastating. Unfortunately, we really couldn't explore their chemistry on the floor due to Cousins' injury in the season. The Warriors were in desperate need of a center who could rebound, get to the rim, score, set screens, basically do it all. Zaza, however much I respect him, is not great. Anyways, he along with most of our other centers who got adequate time on the court (Javale McGee and David West) have left. All we have is Damian Jones, Kevon Looney, and Jordan Bell, all relatively young and new players. We NEEDED Cousins. He is the perfect fit for the Warriors not only because of the skills he possesses that the Warriors are in dire need of but also because of his ferocity. He gets hit up with technicals all the time and is not afraid to shout and trash talk players on the floor. Just like who? You guessed it - Warriors' own Draymond Green. They're going to get along just fine. Everyone, no matter if they hate the Warriors or not, can agree that it'll be an interesting season next year, with so many changes. It's not just Cousins' move that is sparking conversation; you also have Lebron James joining the Lakers and Kawhi Leonard going to the Hornets, to name a few. It's definitely going to be wild next year, and I'm excited to see how everything will work. That was it for today's post! Happy Sunday!
