Boogie Cousins is a sign the Warriors dynasty is getting closer to the end
NBA fans were in an uproar when Boogie Cousins, with many declaring that the signing was the end of a competitive league. Colin disagrees, and thinks the signing will be far less impactful than Twitter thinks, and is potentially a landmine for the Warriors.
Not only is Cousins coming off an Achilles injury that’s historically an NBA career killer, he has a long track record of being a headache, and blowing up locker rooms. There’s no reason to think he won’t be with Golden State. According to reports, the Warriors want Cousins to come off the bench, which sounds like a recipe for disaster. Colin thinks the signing is a reach, and an indication that the Warriors dynasty is closer to the end than the beginning, as they get further away from what started it.
Kawhi isn’t the only answer as a #2 for LeBron
The Kawhi Leonard saga with the Spurs continues to drag out, and some reports indicate he is becoming more receptive to destinations other than the Lakers. Colin thinks the Lakers should still make a push for Kawhi, but if they can’t pull off the deal, there are other options.
One player Colin thinks would be a great fit with LeBron is Damian Lillard. He’s a scoring guard in the similar mold of Kyrie Irving, with whom James won a title.
