Zach Lowe has a great article on the subject. Let me sum up his point in one sentence. Even when healthy
Quote:
New Orleans was better all season with Davis going solo.

Obviously we don't have an Anthony Davis. What we do have is two guys who aren't elite shooters and operating inside the three point line (DSJ and Barnes). Cousins is going to clog up the middle like the same way he did in New Orleans and Sacramento. No thank you.

I suspect the Mavs may do Counsin's agent Jarinn Akana (also reps Barea and Collinsworth) a solid by entering the mix to drive the market up for Cousins and reduce New Orlean's leverage. I fully expect the Mavs to make the right decision and pass on the dude.
