Strictly from a basketball standpoint, it reminds me of a better version of what the Clippers have with Griffin and Jordan. On offense, the pick and roll options will be crazy and Cousins has developed a solid 3pt shot. Easily the best 4-5 tandem in the league and will create mismatches every night. On defense, AD is athletic enough to guard almost anyone, so I wouldn't be worried about him. Cousins has been known to take it easy on defense, but maybe that was a lack of interest due to being stuck with a dysfunctional non-contender.
Same deal with his attitude issues. Maybe it was exacerbated by being stuck with the Kings. I'm willing to give him benefit of the doubt for now. I think they'll make for a very interesting 8 seed this year, and if they make some solid additions this off-season, the sky could (potentially) be the limit. Obviously there's risk, but I'd love the move if I were a Pelicans fan.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
