And from Golden State's side, you don't say no to acquiring a talent like Cousins for so cheap.
But yeah, it's still ridiculous, I get it. It's really all Kevin Durant's fault honestly; it was such a cowardly move going to Golden State like he did and it set a horrible precedent for the rest of the league to follow.
That said, it's just one year. And then GS will have to be disbanded one way or another with so many contracts coming to an end next offseason.
