DeMarcus Cousins signing with the Warriors may have become possible when Kevin Durant left a few dollars on the table when he signed his newest deal with the team, but it was apparently Draymond Green who closed the deal.

Shams Charania from Yahoo sports reports it was Draymond Green who led the recruitment charge for Cousins, which included talks with general manager Bob Myers and head coach Steve Kerr.

The Warriors’ recruitment was led by Green, who has a strong relationship with Cousins, and general manager Bob Myers, and it included a positive phone call between Cousins and coach Steve Kerr, league sources said. Both Cousins and the organization understood the most critical time of the season — the playoffs — will be the stage in which Cousins shines the most for the Warriors.

Green apparently led the charge all while on vacation in Greece.

Cousins will reportedly sign a one-year deal for just $5.3 million. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Cousins isn’t expected to take the court until at least December, if not later as he recovers from a ton achilles.
