After Hansen's decision was announced, some of the other prominent free agents in the market finally made their choices.
The most notable among them was Paul George.
He joined the Warriors directly with a 4-year, $137 million contract.
This also meant the Warriors gave up on renewing Cousins' contract, who due to injury issues, had huge disagreements with the Warriors in negotiations, and even faced cold shoulders in the free market.
This is the harsh reality that players have to face: suffering a serious injury during a contract year significantly affects their market situation.
Speaking of George, as a star known for his 3D skills, he has an outstanding off-ball three-point ability, top-level defense, and now also has decent ball-handling skills, which can alleviate the pressure of carrying the ball and scoring from the perimeter, perfectly fitting with the Warriors.
