If Cuban wants Cousins anchoring the paint for us, maybe we give him the full (over the cap) MLE first at $9M as a prove you're healthy type of deal. Then if he does prove his health, then we can give him a bigger contract ($15M) next year when Courtney Lee expires.
So the plan can basically be:
A) Sign Kemba
B) Sign DFS and Maxi back
C) Give Cousins a prove yourself type of deal via the over the cap MLE
C- Cousins / Powell
PF- Porzingis / Kleber
SF- Doncic / Jackson
SG- DFS / THJ
PG- Kemba / Brunson / Burke
That team would allow close to 130, if not more points a game. I know offense and getting buckets is important, but defense matters too
