Cousins' hopes for a mbadive expansion were wiped out with his Achilles tendon rupture in the middle of last season with the pelicans. This opened the door to the Warriors, giving them a selection of five All-Stars: Cousins, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson.

The last team to be able to put five players on the field who were All-Stars in the previous season? Boston in 1975-76, according to Elias Sports
Cousins, who averaged 25.2 points, 12.9 rebounds and 5.4 badists last season, should not return until at least December. But given the wealth of talent and experience of the Warriors, there will be no need to rush their last shot at the free agent.
