There’s two things certain about the Boston Celtics, 1) they’ve loaded up on draft picks and 2) they’re in the rebuilding process. Celtics general manager Danny Ainge can either pick up a bunch of new talent or flip the draft picks into already proven talent. Ainge has already said publicly that he values the picks because he can trade them, and he’s made no secret he’d rather deal them for an established player rather than using them all. Well the Celtics reportedly have their eyes on DeMarcus Cousins.
Another Celtics’ big man rumor floating around during All-Star weekend has been their pursuit of All-Star DeMarcus Cousins.
Cousins is the center piece for the Kings and it seems very unlikely that they would part with him. He has however recently expressed how much he’s given and supported the Kings and seems frustrated with his treatment in return. Cousins was very upset about the firing of coach Mike Malone and reportedly wasn’t on board about the hiring of George Karl. He also seems slighted because he isn’t apart of the decision making processes. We’ll have to see if Karl and Cousins can work together first before any trades are even thought of.
