DeMarcus Cousins made a huge admission about his former team, the Golden State Warriors.
The Golden State Warriors are unarguably one of the most well-run organizations in the NBA. Without that, they wouldn’t have won four NBA titles in the last decade.
A key reason behind that is treating their superstars better than most in the NBA. It’s evident from how Jimmy Butler has fit right into the team’s culture.
Speaking of culture, former Warriors star DeMarcus Cousins recently made a huge revelation about the Dubs.
Despite a second-round exit in the 2025 postseason, Butler’s debut season with the Warriors has gone well, as the 35-year-old is loving his time on his new team.
With Butler going gaga over the Warriors, Cousins chimed in on the topic as well via Run It Back FanDuel TV.
“Being a guy that was a part of the organization, I can agree with Jimmy 100%. It’s definitely one of the top organizations in the NBA. They treat their players well. They treat players’ families well,” Cousins said.
He added: “From, you know, meal plans on the road to traveling, I mean, during the playoffs, finals, they have their own separate plane just for players’ family members. So it’s not many organizations doing that. So what he’s saying is absolutely true.”
Cousins did admit that Butler’s career with the Warriors has just started, but he should know that the organization will roll out the ‘red carpet’ for him.
“Obviously, it’s early, but I know dealing with the Warriors myself, the organization is going to roll out the red carpet for him. They want him to feel welcome. They want him to feel like he’s a part of the family.”
It’s good that Butler and the Warriors are committed to this partnership. But some have been critical of the Warriors’ decision to hand Butler a two-year, $121 million extension after getting traded from the Miami Heat.
However, Cousins thinks it was a wise decision, stating: “And, you know, I think Jimmy’s also showing he’s putting his best foot forward. So I think it’s coming from both sides. And it makes sense.
He concluded: “You want it that way. You want to make this relationship work. You want your investment to work… giving the extension to Jimmy at this point in his career, it makes sense.
“Everybody’s playing their part to make this work. As of right now, it’s working.”
Butler averaged 17.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game for the Warriors in his first 30 games with the franchise.
