NBA observers thought they were safe after digesting the news that LeBron James would go West to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night. Folks got too comfortable Monday, however, and the defending champion Golden State Warriors shook up the world again by adding yet another All-Star.
DeMarcus Cousins has agreed to a deal with Golden State, league source tells ESPN.
