Whats stopping the Celtics from trading for DeMarcus Cousins?

[Kang Deezy]

Jaylen is a great player, I really liked him in the game we had (raptors)

When you hear about a player “attacking a closeout,” what’s being described is when someone receives a pass in spot-up position and then dupes his defender by putting the ball on the floor instead of shooting. Here’s what that looks like

Brown’s explosive dunk, Nikola Vucevic dipping his head in shame, and the bench’s reaction make for a truly beautiful basketball moment (unless you’re a Magic fan). There is a small sample size for this specific type of play, but Brown leads the NBA in points per possession (PPP) scored driving to the rim when attacking closeouts (of players with a minimum 10 shots)! According to Synergy Sports, Brown scores 1.6 PPP on 19 chances. Kevin Durant is second, at 1.5 PPP.

Brown is shooting 35.3 percent from behind the arc so far this season, much better than his efficiency in college (29.4 percent), so defenders are more compelled to contest him from the perimeter. Maybe Brown’s numbers will regress and by season’s end defenses will be baiting him into jumpers and stopping his thunderous drives, but for now he’s causing havoc inside. The rookie isn’t ready to contribute a heavy workload, but at only 20 years old he’s looking like a keeper for the Celtics with his flashes in the open floor.

Cousins doesn't give a championship or put any team in contention except maybe the Spurs and even then

I wouldn't want him on the Raps right now because offense is the last thing we need.

Demarcus Cousins wouldn't fit well with Boston. He talked shyt about Isaah after he was traded. I don't know how Boogie would respond to Brad Stevens demanding he play defense all the time. Boston is better off trying to get a young center who they can mold. Philly will be putting Noel on the trading block soo, and probably Okafor, too. Nurkic seems to be the odd man out in Denver. Boston has the resources to get a nice young center. Cousins doesn't fit into their plans. Noel would be ideal.

If you think Jaylen Brown isn't a very intriguing prospect then you should probably shouldn't speak on basketball anymore.

Go watch your Ricky Rubio highlight videos on YouTube and keep telling us Zach Lavine player in the league.

I remember you arguing with me when I said Myles Turner should be taken ahead of WCS

Pull your skirt down. I haven't been a Jaylen Brown fan since high school and nothing has changed my mind on that.Where were you when I had these arguments with @Wacky D? Where were you when I said Denver needed to go after Cousins more than anybody (which by the way, is NOT a slight to Boston?) Don't get all hurt now just because he's a Celtic.


and where in the hell did I EVER argue with you about whether WCS was better than Turner? I thought he'd get picked ahead of him (and he did) but that doesn't mean I thought he was better.

They better not trade this years pick, I need to see Markelle Fultz in Celtic Green next season.

 

[Max Power]

OP must be Cousins' agent

 

[Smoking With Cigarettes]

and I'll forever stress, the team that really needs to pursue a Cousins trade isn't Boston. It's Denver.

Keep that evil to yourself I'd far rather see what Jokic turns into than waste assets trading for a player who probably leaves in FA

 

[L. Deezy]

I'm tired of this narrative. Its not true. Put the breh in a winning environment and get back at me.

Rondo was in a winning environment and what?

Why would he leave Mike Malone?

What word is that behind his head? A word that has never been behind Cousin's head. Sheed was a in winning situation, especially in comparison to the current Kings. You are who you are no matter what situation you are in. It is just spun differently.

Ya know its possible Cousins has minimal trade value.

Youre really comparing todays kings to the 2000 blazers?

Will he even mesh well with Horford? And didn't Isiah say he was an idiot who annoyed everyone in the locker room with serious convos about whether Tupac was alive?
