It's been over a month since DeMarcus Cousins signed a contract with the Golden State Warriors, and he is still taking heat from both fans and journalists.
People think that he was taking the easy way out, but honestly it seems more like he was making the best move for his career right now. He is betting on himself, as he knows that he may never be back to the player he once was. He is giving himself a chance to get back to form, while also playing with some great depth.
By signing with the Warriors for a small, one-year contract, Boogie will now get a chance to see how well he will be able to come back, without really hurting the team. Because the team already has great scorers, he will not need to take as many shots or force too much.
Remember, he is coming back from a really bad injury. Also, he is a big man. It takes longer for bigger men to heal, and an injury like this can be catastrophic to big men.
Who knows if Boogie will ever be the great player he once was. But since he is on a one-year contract with the back-to-back NBA Champions, he will get at least one shot to win a title before he may have to all it a career.
And if he does make a full recovery and plays anywhere near to where he was at when he went down last year, he will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come, and I'm sure some teams will make a bigger stab at Cousins. Cousins is betting on himself and giving himself the best opportunity to make a comeback, and hopefully he is successful in doing so.
