Recently, Cousins, a former NBA player who plays in the Puerto Rican league, said bluntly in an interview that Paul is too old to understand the Warriors’ trade.
Cousins said, “Honestly, I don’t really understand why the Warriors traded for Paul, maybe they’re trying to make room for next summer. You send away young people, but in exchange for an older person, obviously he is old. I’m not trying to minimize Paul’s career accomplishments, it’s just that at this point in his career, I don’t think he’s going to elevate the Warriors’ level of play.”
It’s worth noting that Cousins has been outspoken about how much he hates Paul, and Cousins has left him off his list of the top five point guards in NBA history.
