They went from an injured Cousins demanding a max to one of the league's best players last year, Julius Randle on a very affordable deal, who does by default what Cousins did to adapt to playing with Davis last year.  I think they actually will miss Rondo's playoff precense, but maybe not miss Rondo the rest of the year.    Basically the question is if their guards will play well enough to allow AD to do this thing.
