Bobcats Preparing Offer For Cousins

[Lucky17]

Don't the Cats also have the Pistons 2013 1st rounder? That could also be a lottery pick.

Two lotto picks, Henderson, and Diop's expiring deal for Cousins and Salmons' bad contract?

I love the bet hedging. "If this is true." lol

Yea, that's quite an offer. IF that's what they are giving up, Cousins is theirs. There is no way we can compete with it.

This just goes to show you that people who thought we could get Cousins and/or Evans from the Kings for our expendable pieces were wrong. These are two young and extremely talented players on cheap contracts. Many teams will bring strong offers for them, especially teams that can't otherwise attract good free agents.

[SHAQATTACK]

If the Celtics don't find a way to dump all these mediocre players/ role players ....bottom  1/3 of the NBA is where the Celtics will "STAY"

Thats why you gotta give up GOOD players to get the RIGHT player for this team.

ANd its getting to the point  we an't got much to offer.

This team player wise is close to just SAILING right down the tube .   ANd next thing you know a BLOW UP will be all that is left.

A source of a source of a source says it will come down to Boston, Dallas, Orlando, or Charlotte (or nothing too, I guess).

I expect Charlotte are offering their lottery pick this summer. Probably top 2-3 protected.

They have nothing else on their roster to offer outside of MKG.

Is the lottery pick and MKG package better than what the Celts can offer? Because im leaning towards "No".

MKG and a top pick, one to 5, is a big time offer IMO.  don't think the bobcats should do it.  mullens and a top pick with Henderson and Taylor is better for Charlotte,and not bad for the kings if they're that fed up Cousins' attitude...

Whoops. Didn't realize the pick was 1-5. Not sure how strong the draft class is but that does make a pretty big difference. Im just not sold on MKG yet though.

Yeah I'm with you about MKG. Pretty enticing offer for the kings though. Give them two young mega potential players.

It's actually a very poor class. In fact, draft experts say it's one of the weakest in years. On the other hand, the 2014 class will be loaded.

Andrew Wiggins has the potential to be the future of the league. Experts have called him a "once in a decade" talent.

I feel like their unprotected first round pick next year would be a pretty good deal for both sides.  Sac gets rid of Cousins and a second very good draft pick.  Charlotte gets a player who can absolutely produce at the NBA level, which they don't know for sure they will get in the draft pick.

I would think the offer would be along the lines of Biyombo and Henderson for Cousins and filler.

Biyombo hasn't proven enough (5 points, 6 rebounds a game guy, still raw defensively, low skill level offensively) to be the main attraction in a trade for someone as talented as D.Cousins.

I think Henderson's value is very low right now too. It doesn't look like Charlotte are going to be willing to pay him this summer. I think he could be picked up for a late first at this point.

If Jordan wants him, then I say stay away from him.  The guy is a horrible GM, who can't evaluate talent.

TP for the source of a source of a source.

Among these 4, Boston and Dallas are the only ones who would theoretically be put in a position to compete better with Cousins.

Wow, the title of the article says Fegan wants Cousins to go to Boston. If that's really the case then it's pretty much set in stone that we will get him.
