Regardless of what Cousins does on the defensive end, he still demands a double team on offense... And with his passing skills, hed probably average 8apg on kick outs. Sign me up all day every day.
If he doesn’t work out by the deadline can’t we just trade him? Dude is a skilled offensive big man, make it happen Durrell.
For the role we'd need him? I think the greatest ability is availability. I'd much prefer someone who can be expected to be healthy. I sure hate that the Jazz got Ed Davis and the Warriors WCS. Those guys would have been great for what we need.
Cousins was putting up 26 and 12 before his injury... and hes a decent 3pt shooter. We need rebounding, and we need scoring when Harden goes out. Imagine Gordon and Cousins on the floor when Harden and CP3 go out. We wouldnt miss a beat.
Before his injury which was also after his injury. Point being, his major injuries are stacking up and he can't help us in crutches. That's why the entire rest of the league isn't willing to pay this guy who put up 26 and 12 before his injury.
that and chemistry concerns is why no teams have moved in. i think he's was looking for cap space money, and now still trying to get MLE somewhere. I think every team is waiting for the vet minimum so they can cut him if needed.
