Folks, we almost have a losing record and in all likely hood may get a 6th or 7th seed in playoffs...we NEED a Center badly and Cousins would be great here..if not, we probably get knock off in first round
I'm not that pessimistic about this team, but I do think that if there ever were a time for this franchise to take a risk on a high reward player, its now.
If they can get Cousins for say, either Bradley or Sully, a first round pick, and one of Green/Lee/Bass, then its a no brainer. If it takes both Bradley and Sully, its still hard to pass up.
Worst case scenario, Cousins isn't redeemable, and they lose a couple decent but not spectacular assets, and are otherwise where they were before.
Best case scenario, they leap into a top contender status this season, and have a new building-block for the future.
I'll tell you this, I prefer taking a risk like this, than tanking for a chance at a lottery pick. At least in this scenario they have a decent idea what kind of talent they are getting.
