I'm sure Danny knows this, I would absolutely throw all my assets to grab Cousins. Despite his immaturity, his talent is absolutely elite. If he can control his temper, I think he can definitely help a lot of teams. Not to mention, I would say we have more potential than the Kings. Just my opinion. Thomas, Bradley, and Smart rotation is better than their guard rotation. We have a mix of good offensive and defense front court. Besides Cousins, I don't think another player on the Kings team that would go in the game ready for blood. We have Smart, he brings very high energy to every game. Him and Bradley are defensively amazing and causes problems for opposing team. Cousins is better than Sully in my opinion, brings a legit post threat, where he can kick it out back to Bradley who is a reliable 3 pt shooter.
Smart
Bradley
Turner
Kelly
Cousins
this starting lineup is more than enough to make 8th seed. Since getting Thomas, looking at the 8th seed became a huge possibly and very realistic. I'm all for giving much of our assets to grab Cousins
