Davis: Cousins now 'the enemy' after signing with Warriors

The budding bromance between Boogie and the Brow is no more.

DeMarcus Cousins pulled out his "ace of spades" to sign with the Golden State Warriors after spurning a reported two-year, $40-million offer from the New Orleans Pelicans following his Achilles injury. Although former teammate Anthony Davis understands his decision, he recognizes the time for on-court rapport is over.

"I mean, I'm happy for him," Davis told Angel Diaz of Complex. "He did what he did. He chose the right team for his career right now with his injury, I'm assuming. I wish the best of luck to him and we'll see him three maybe four times this year, and try to beat him. Now he's the enemy. Anybody who's not on the Pelicans is an enemy to me. He went from a teammate to an enemy."

Davis excelled against the Dubs last season, especially during the Western Conference semifinals when he averaged 27.8 points and 14.8 rebounds despite losing the series in five games.

"It's really tough because they play so well as a team," Davis said of trying to beat the Warriors. "They move the basketball, have the best shooters in the game, the best scorer in the game; you really have to play a perfect game. When they make their runs, you have to be poised enough to combat them. This game is about runs, when they go on theirs, you have to be able to go on runs, too."

While Davis can't count on Cousins next season, the Pelicans added Julius Randle to the mix, who should complement Davis well with his hard-nosed attitude and ability to play around the basket.

"He's strong, physical guy, likes to play in the paint," Davis said. "He can push the ball, score, pass. I always loved the way he played, he's a Kentucky guy and I'm excited we can have him. I'm making sure that my game changes with the times and just keep working on the little things. I can't wait to get to work."
