re: We turned Asik and a late 1st into Niko

To be fair we were getting increasingly better at integrating AD and Cousins into the same offense as the season went on. Had he finished the season that probably finishes significantly higher.

We also really struggled with no legit third front court player. Theoretically we should be able to rotate so we almost always have two of Niko/Cousins/AD on the floor, and that would be fricking devastating and keep everyone fresher. What Davis did w/o Cousins was amazing but idk if it’s sustainablr over 82 games. The issue is the K, there’s no doubt Cousins will be a valuable addition upon his return, even if it’s only 75% of what he was, but can we figure out a K where he isn’t massively overpaid considering his likely reduced role and abilities? We’ll see.
