Lets not kid ourselves...Cousins is the perfect player to neutralize Cavs, Warriors and soon to be Sixers(if Embiid stays healthy).He is the only one I might(yes, might) gamble picks from Brooklyn on. But, if Stevens says no, it is done. Ainge wont lose his golden coach, no matter what. I am not a psychologist, but there is a good chance Cousins could backfire on us like other dominate players have backfired on those from years gone by...Melo has given the Knicks what(zip), how did Herschel Walker do for the Vikings in the 90's?(Cowboys had nice run thank you MN)...Yes, we could offer multiple firsts and a plethora of potential talent but if we are wrong, and he is poision instead of paradise, we will be sunk for many years....but if Cousins is the one for us, Lebron could be crying rivers of sorrow for his remaining years......
