When it comes to DeMarcus Cousins taking the floor as a Warrior for the first time, Draymond Green sees the glass half full.
Other Warrior voices have been more restrained, but there's no doubt the team is relishing this new chapter in the Golden State story.
From the get-go, talk inside the Warriors camp was about USA basketball and how Curry, Klay, Draymond and KD enjoyed playing with Cousins - and vice versa. That's still the vibe. There's a ton of respect and a desire to do something special with this insanely unique moment.

How fortunate is Cousins to be be able to rehab in a world-class, supportive environment (zero external return pressure) with the prospect of coming back for the ring-end of a dynastic-quality season? Comeback-wise, could there be a better scenario?

You should go back and review the way David West contributed during the last couple of years.

This will be something for his legacy as well.

My prediction for the sniping will be less about Cousins not helping Golden State but more about him and his prospects going forward. The haters will say he's not worth a max deal and teams would be making a mistake to chase him. I fully expect to hear that artfully and maliciously put forward.

DeMarcus Cousins Gives Golden State Warriors Most Lethal Death Lineup Yet — In basketball, the better team usually wins. There's no March magic or getting hot at the right time in single-elimination playoff scenarios some other sports have.
