I didn't say they could win a championship. But getting Cousins would definitely put them as Eastern Conference Finals contenders.Over the top of what? The first round ?
Whats stopping the Celtics from trading for DeMarcus Cousins?

I saw Cousins in a winning environment (Kentucky). He still acted a fool.
anyway, the answer is twofold:
1. Sacramento's not looking to move him yet.
2. Boston is kinda iffy on cashing in their chips on him, like they're waiting for something better to come along. Ainge has overplayed his hand almost every time.
If Cousins can't put up with a Sacramento reporter shytting on him, he might have to blow up the Boston Globe and Boston Herald.
Breh, they at least getting to the conference finals.

Isaiah Thomas and Avery Bradley are both FA in 2018. I get holding out hope for the picks, but we know both guys are going to want to get paid and if the Celtics don't give them big deals, they're walking, so then you're rebuilding around lotto picks and Al Horford. I mean, I don't really know what Ainge's game plan is. Just wait till a Lebron falls magically into your lap?

He has a point, Boogie is very talented, but he's not a rim protector and he's inefficient. Stevens may get Boogie to be more efficient, but as of now Boogie is not a franchise player. Cousins is certainly an All-Star though.
Breh was a teenager at Kentucky. And I really believe the losing culture of Sacramento has an affect on his behavior plus. Like they say, winning solves everything. I want to see breh on a winning squad before I just cast him off as an untouchable headcase.
I think the better question is why the Kings don't want to trade him, it's clear they can't build around him and there's pretty much zero chance he re-signs with them so why continue to hold onto a player when this is the best time to get max return for him.
Nah breh. Ya'll buggin. The Kings just haven't built around him correctly.
You seem to have a much higher opinion of Cousins and the Stevens era Celtics (one hasnt been to the playoffs, the other hasnt won in the playoffs) than me. They'd be lightwork for Toronto or Cleveland
yes...you think with Cousins, they beating the Cavs?Demarcus Cousins is a top 2 big and a top 10 player in the NBA. You mean to tell me having that on your team in a weak Eastern conference doesn't put you over the top?

That's fair, but Boogie is inefficient and not good defensively. You're not a franchise player(best player on a title team) if you're a center who's inefficient and below average defensively. Cousins is a All-Star player, just not a franchise player, and there's nothing wrong with not being a franchise player.
Pacers ain't trading George. He had an opportunity to get Butler on draft night and wouldn't go through with it.
His gameplan is praying he gets stars to fall in his lap again like the 2007 offseason. It's gonna blow up in his face, but he has a loyal group of apologists who make any and every excuse for everything he does.
I've been hearing "What happens during the season doesn't matter, wait till the offseason that's when the real moves are gonna happen" for about 4 years now
Lol
This thread again?

That's why you're not
