No, you're not dreaming.

The two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors have officially added All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins to their already stacked roster, the team announced Friday.

Cousins, who is coming off a torn Achilles tendon, agreed to a reported one-year deal for the taxpayer's mid-level exception, valued at approximately $5.3 million.

The 27-year-old big man continues to rehab from his injury, which is expected to keep him sidelined for a large chunk of the upcoming 2018-19 regular season.
