Pass.

Celts can't offer better than the minimum anyway.

If I were Scoop Jackson I'd be suing this guy for identity theft.

Whats in it for Cousins to come to Boston for the minimum? Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me

More playing time since we are starved for bugs.

He'll be playing 15-20 MPG at most I think, especially since we've signed Kanter.

Is there any way the Celtics could S&T for Cousins? Give up Yabu or a rookie or something?

We can get him signed and traded to us. I think if we find takers for yabu and let’s say Wanamaker.. we can give cousins ~ $7M of salary...
another option is to dump Yabusele salary and renounce theis Qualifying offer. Doing this we can offer cousins ~ $4.7M

I doubt he signs for vet min. N.Y. can probably offer him more. As for Mia don’t they have no cap space as it is?

He's not coming for the minimum, so if he would choose to come here it would seem likely that we would try to do one of the S&T deals to split the money for the full MLE between Kanter and Cousins, similar to what he got last year.

I'm borderline on him. While he definitely would fill a need for us as a low post presence and rebounder, let alone someone who could help initiate some of the offense from the high post, he'd only take more touches away from the Jays, Hayward, and Kemba.

That said, beggars can't be choosers, and on paper that's a pretty elite offensive squad in Kemba, Brown, Tatum, Hayward, and Cousins that should seemingly fit together pretty nicely. Could potentially be worth it on a one-year prove yourself type of deal.

C’s would be into that too many mouths to feed argument again if he’s brought in. He will want the ball a lot. Throw in the chemistry factor and it’s too big a risk for my blood.

Woj just said on ESPN Cousins doesn’t have a market right now. So maybe he will have to play on a team with an exception
