the problem with not getting Cousins (or more expensive 5) is that Davis doesn't want to play center at all, it seems. Baynes at $4M isn't playing more than token minutes....that leaves Davis spending more time at the 5, which appears to be a no go.

Davis started the game on Gasol last night, i don't know if you noticed that. Why would a guy that doesn't want to play the 5, and has a bigger big man on his team now that starts with him, guard one of the biggest most physical centers in the league to start the game?
Gasol wasn't guarding AD, Green was.

I don't give a shite what AD wants at this point. That's not how anyone would build a team in todays NBA. If AD was getting us to the playoffs every year, and was a true superstar, then i'd listen to him, but he's not at this point, so he can shut the hell up and do what he's told.

A competent GM/team with AD would ideally spend the bulk of their money on AD and 1 or 2 other very good offensive players that play the 1, 2 or 3 position. They would have a scrappy center to deal with the bigs of other teams for 15-20 minutes a game, and a big SF, small PF that could play the 4 during small ball lineups with AD at the 5, filling out the rest of the roster with shooters and defensive specialists on small contracts.
