It wasn't just fans and analysts who wanted to know more details about the DeMarcus Cousins-Golden State Warriors connection that shocked the basketball world. Players themselves wanted to get an inside scoop. And they contacted Cousins himself to know how the deal went down.
Cousins revealed that C.J. McCollum of the Portland Trail Blazers was one of those players who contacted him directly. Boogie said that McCollum congratulated him and somewhat understood his situation and what triggered him to join the powerhouse squad:
“Shout out to my dog CJ,” Cousins told Chris Haynes of ESPN. “I mean, it's funny of course. But me and CJ have that type of relationship where we rap about all that type of stuff. In a way he was congratulating me, but at the same time he was dead serious [about what I was going to do]. But at the end of the day, I think he understood my situation and kind of where my mindset was with the whole situation. That's my dog for sure.”
This is the first time the 27-year-old has spoken about the big news that brought him to one of best teams in league history. We may have to wait a little longer before we see Cousins play with the Splash Brothers, Kevin Durant, and Draymond Green. Though Cousins has received an ample amount of criticism for his decision, it doesn't bother him one bit:
“I'm here to play basketball. I'm here to play at the highest level. I'm here to win games. Everything else will take care of itself. That's not my concern.”
