Let’s review the quotes:
“He’s just got issues and you don’t want to be dealing with those.”
“It’s a real democracy (in the Celtics locker room). To bring Cousins in the middle of that would be crazy.”
Strong words from Gorman on a favorite fantasy for some fans.
Let’s be clear about this though…. there is no pursuit of Cousins. He’s firmly entrenched in Sacramento at the moment and the Celtics don’t even really seem to be testing those waters. But Gorman speaks for a lot of people when he says bringing a hot-head like Cousins in would be too big a risk even for a team looking for a stud.
