Whats stopping the Celtics from trading for DeMarcus Cousins?

[Kang Deezy]

Where is this idea of cousins being a 2-way player coming from

Whats more the idea of pairing Cousins and Horford sounds like a clusterfukk!!

And the idea that adding him to the Celtics suddenly makes them a contender is laughable..

Horford can play off anybody. He's the perfect complimentary player

 

[Frump]

He went 3 he should be one of the best players in the class

Him possibly being one of the best players in a historically bad draft really isn't saying much

Danny Ainge has the assets he's waiting for a big fish to become available however he is a notorious low baller. I think his plan is to wait for a rape deal and if that doesn't happen he will just utilize the draft picks and end up having to cut or jettison even more of the mediocre talent he's acquired.

And that's an idiotic plan because Billy King is not walking through that door. Teams are not about to just hand the Celtics great talents for pennies on the dollar

The Celtics need to cash in on the Nets picks, I'm honestly not sold on Ainge's ability to draft. How you gonna praise Giannis, then draft a soft big over him?

Giannis was the next Pippen and Olynyk was the next Dirk

Plus I don't see a generational talent who u can build around.

It's strength is anywhere in the lotto u could get a potential very very good player but if you can get a proven all star involving the picks u have to do it

 

[KnickstapeCity]

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.

I don't know, breh.





With this new CBA and salary cap, breh might fukk around get a 300M/6year contract.






Hard to say no to that kind of dough.

This draft is loaded with PGs, and they have a team loaded with guards, shyt is comedy status.

They very obviously need a big man, yet don't want to put the offer out there that could get them one. Next years draft has big men, but none of them fit the timeline Horford is on.

He seems miserable there and the Rockets will have caproom by then, Texas has no state income tax so he could make up any lost wages that way.

Antoni would let him shoot a ton of threes and his numbers would look bloated with him.

And even then From what I hear about Ayton and Bamba it's not very positive

 

[ikbm]

Depends on what is being given up.

A roster of IT2/Crowder/Horford/Cousins not being a threat to make it out of the east? I don't buy it.

a threat to make it out the east how?
the cavs run bron at the 4...and put either love or channing at the 5 and you will be overwhelmed
lol @ having al horford guard lebron or having him on a mismatch where lebron would expose him
lol@ having demarcus guarding a stretch 4-5
i dont care what defensive mind you have
raptors would be better than them.

 

[Frump]

Nobodies a threat to make it out of the east until Lebron falls off a cliff

Because they don't want to give up anything of value. The problem with Ainge (and his followers) is that they want the talent but want to give up minimal value to get it.

And like you said earlier, they overvalue the "assets" this team has. They act like those Nets picks are locks to net HOFers, when that's not how the shyt works.
