DeMarcus Cousins has been on his way back from a horrible Achilles tear that ended his 2017-18 campaign. The All-Star big man was shut down and missed his first opportunity at an NBA playoffs appearance. Now he’s reportedly joining a team that will basically have an express route to the NBA Finals.
After flirting with the idea of signing DeAndre Jordan, the Golden State Warriors have apparently inked a deal with another All-Star big man in Cousins.
Following comes from Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports, Adrian Wojnarowski and Marc J. Spears of ESPN and his new teammate Stephen Curry.

So GM Bob Myers has replaced JaVale McGee with … Boogie Cousins. The $5.3M represents the taxpayer mid-level exception. Cousins is hopeful to return to the court by December/January off his torn Achilles. There will be no rush with Warriors. https://t.co/lYwGjxZchk
