Twitter floored by Cousins joining champion Warriors
The powerhouse Golden State Warriors - winners of three of the last four NBA championships - have struck gold once again.
DeMarcus Cousins is reportedly heading to the Bay Area for Golden State's taxpayer mid-level exception, pairing him with fellow All-Stars Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Stephen Curry.
Nearly 24 hours after LeBron James agreed to join the Los Angeles Lakers, the Warriors have sent the Twittersphere into a tailspin once again with their groundbreaking signing.
