Cousins doesn't make much sense on the roster honestly. The team is filled with elite, elite scorers. We don't need a guy that demands low post touches (or high post touches - DMC has a weird game for a center) (in an international game where the post isn't emphasized or needed as much), isn't a great defender and is prone to mental lapses.
I am surprised that we're not bringing on at least one of Drummond or Cousins. Those guys are strong enough to bang with the bigger centers we may face. Not going to pretend I'm familiar with who's playing this year but if we face a bulkier center who's looking to score (say Marc Gasol), he could easily get AD/Plumlee in foul trouble.
But Plumlee is an ELITE finisher, doesn't expect the ball, is better on defense and is fast enough to trap pick and rolls. Cousins can't say any of that.
