Since they're bosons, can cooper pairs have spin values other than zero like 1? If the electrons had the same spin, can't their spins add up as 1/2+ 1/2?. Thanks in advance.

1$\begingroup$ I think that in heavy superconductors you can indeed have total spin of 1, called triplet states. $\endgroup$– MauricioNov 29, 2017 at 23:33
