The Warriors may have got the steal of the summer when they signed four-time All-Star DeMarcus Cousins to a one-year deal worth $5.3 million, also known as the taxpayer mid-level exception, in free agency.
There were a few reason why Golden State was able to get such a talented player at a bargain price, and one of those factors was Cousins’ ruptured Achilles that ended his season last January.
Historically, NBA players have not returned to full athleticism after Achilles injuries, and it’s especially concerning when you consider Boogie’s tremendous size at 7-feet tall and 270 pounds.
