The damage stored him off the courtroom for over a yr after that, however the former massive man believes that if the entrance workplace had stored the staff collectively, they may have been contenders.
“I don’t suppose the yr that I blew my Achilles it might have occurred, however they might have stored that squad collectively, we positively would have made a run, no less than by Yr 2, I imagine,” Cousins mentioned on Run It Again.
“But it surely’s some dumbass GMs on the market – shoutout to Dell Demps.”
Cousins was then requested as a follow-up if he thought that he and Davis may have been the very best duo in NBA historical past, had they stayed taking part in collectively for the Pels.
“In NBA historical past?” Cousins requested. “That’s robust to say. That’s robust to say once you’ve received guys like Tim Duncan and David Robinson as teammates and the whole lot they’ve achieved, however I believe we may have been within the dialog, and I positively suppose we had the expertise to even be talked about subsequent to these guys. However clearly, we ain’t accomplish sh*t, so it’s probably not nothin’ to speak about, however from a expertise facet, I believe we both 1A, 1B or shut second.”
Cousins and Davis didn’t get one other likelihood to play alongside one another once more after that, since Boogie signed with the Warriors for the 2018-19 season, whereas Davis performed yet another season in New Orleans earlier than being traded to the Lakers for the 2019-20 marketing campaign.
