After not securing the big deal he had hoped during last offseason, DeMarcus Cousins decided to sign with the Golden State Warriors and it was thought that the team would definitely win the title the following year. As we all saw, that did not happen.
Cousins started late with the team as he worked his way back from an injury he suffered with the Pelicans, only to get injured in the 1st round of the playoffs and wouldn’t return until the NBA Finals.
On Saturday, Cousins took to social media to thank Warriors fans in a message that seemed to indicate he might be headed elsewhere next season.
That last message seems to suggest he’s going to dominate he Dubs while wearing a different uniform next season. Or just maybe he’s suggesting that he is looking forward to crushing the opposition no matter where he signs.

This couldn’t be looked at in many different ways.
Cousins is about to become an unrestricted free agent and the maximum amount Golden State can offer him for the 2019-20 campaign is about $6.4 million.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr spoke to reporters and did leave the door open for a possible reunion.
“I think there’s a chance,” Kerr said. “I would say that the hope is that frankly he can do a lot better financially than what we could offer him. But who knows. Every year is different.
“We have to figure out our own situation — particularly with Klay [Thompson] and Kevin [Durant] — and how all that shakes out.
“But I could absolutely foresee a place for DeMarcus here if he wanted to come back. It’s just a question of what are his goals, what is out there for him.”
Cousins will turn 29 years old on Aug. 13.
