On one side you had people saying Cousins was a can't miss superstar, you add him by any means neccesary, figure it out later. It was all the Kings fault they were an absolute mess and ohh the outrage when we didn't get him, that was our chance to push for a title!
On the one side (MY side) You had people that said Cousins is a huge part of the problem, he's never gonna win as a focal point on a team, attitude problems, and throw the stats out the window, a true superstar would win 40 games in 6 chances to do it.
And of course many fell somewhere in the middle.
Well guess which side is claiming early victory?

Interestingly, Buddy's and Tyreke's scoring now surging in Sacto, they in Sacto are outscoring Cousins in NO."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Cousins and Davis are both so versatile that they'll figure it out. The bigger problem is they have no depth, they basically have three quality players and a bunch of scrubs.
Also the Ringer is garbage and O'Connor specifically is a hack.

I think the Raps would be in a similar situation, if not worse, trying to integrate Cousins into a Dwane Casey guard's first offense. With Cousins, I would expect to see something like the Lowry-DD-Gay abomination or worse.
If the Pels don't make the playoffs, pretty sure Alvin Gentry is gone. It might be that he's just a bad coach.
