One day after LeBron James decided to take his talents to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors one-upped their NBA Finals rival.

Superstar big man DeMarcus Cousins reportedly agreed to join the juggernaut Warriors on a one-year contract worth just $5.3 million.

The news tipped an already-hyped NBA Twitterverse over the edge. Here’s some of the best reaction, with many believing James now doubts his decision to move to the Western Conference.

Don’t worry, though, LeBron. You have JaVale and Rondo and two kids making dis tracks. You’ll be fine.

The kind of move you'd feel a little bit guilty about doing even on NBA 2K

Can we just simulate the NBA season? Would save us a lot of time.
