Speculation by the writer.  Though George is signed for another 2 years.  Cousins I can see

It will take ALOT to get these two in a Celts uniform. But what about this idea

To Pacers: Jaylen Brown, Amir Johnson,  Mclemore, WCS
To Kings: IT, Zeller, Jefferson, 2017 Nets 1st
To Celtics: George, Cousins

I'm not giving IT up. He's close to Paul George's level. 

I do think we should jump at trading for George if he's available. As much as I hate to trade the 2017 Nets pick I'd offer up that pick and Brown.

The Pacers would get a chance at rebooting with Turner, Brown and the Nets pick. They probably could trade Teague for a mid first round pick to another team.

can't keep everyone...  I would gladly give up IT (all star) plus some to get back George and Cousins..... this potential lineup definitely has a chance to beat the Cavs and GSW

WCS and Mclemore are busts so far so the Pacers are essentially trading George for Brown. I don't think that's getting it done.

The Kings had IT. Giving up Cousins to get IT back who they already had is kind of embarrassing for them. I don't see that happening either.

I'd focus on giving the Pacers a serious offer and see if the Kings panic and give us a deal we can't refuse.

We obviously do this. Not much in it for Indy and Sac.

Kings sue the Celtics and Danny Ainge personally for a TORT to be named later.

Pacers report the Celtics and Danny Ainge to the authorities for attempted daylight theft.

I think Kings would pass as well as the Pacers. As for the C's it would destroy the team chemistry. PG and Cousins would be difficult to implement without an off season and that can further more carry over.  I'd trade for one at most.

Yeah, let's trade Olynyk for Aldridge as well, or did you miss that one?

this trade is too lopsided in the Celtics favor

that one is more balanced than the original.  agree no chance of happening, but at least it is a reasonable enough trade for all three teams.
