Bonner and Novak don't qualify as "deep in the paint", because neither can play C. Novak can barely play PF. With Blair's wrist sprain, the managing of McDyess' minutes and Splitter not being in game shape/being foul prone, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone else available to man the middle with Duncan injured. Also, coming down the stretch, it would be nice to give McDyess the odd game off.
It could be that Butler's decision is holding up the Cousin signing. Speaking of Butler, he wasn't the greatest athlete pre-injury, so who knows how he'll be post-injury. But he is a solid prospect. A notch above the Green's and Hairston's of the world. So he's worth it to pursue. But if they miss on him, then it makes sense to sign Cousin.
