Report: Draymond led Warriors' recruitment of Cousins

Draymond Green's gift of gab has once again paid off in the form of another All-NBA talent electing to join him in the Bay Area.

Four-time All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins has reportedly agreed to join the reigning champion Golden State Warriors for the taxpayer mid-level exception, with Golden State's recruitment reportedly led by his good friend in Green, league sources told Yahoo Sports' Shams Charania.

Warriors general manager Bob Myers also played an important role, while head coach Steve Kerr had a "positive" phone call with Cousins to help close the deal, which reportedly developed "fairly quickly" on Monday.

In fact, Golden State reportedly didn't entirely believe Cousins was even interested in joining at first.

Green has teamed with Boogie in the past for USA Basketball, capturing a gold medal at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Fellow Warriors Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson were also a part of that roster.

After the Warriors blew a 3-1 series lead in the 2016 Finals, Green sat in the parking garage at Oracle Arena and made a recruitment call to Durant, who went on to join the Warriors two weeks later on a max deal.
