This is my first thread opened here. Mods, feel free to merge it with another one if you think it is repetitive.
Today, all are questions. We know that the Celtics need an interior presence to contend, and I think most of you will agree on this. Butler, George, Hayward, Fultz, Ball...they are the most talked about Celtics-to-be, and I am not sure either one puts us in a position to defeat the Cavs and Warrior. So we have to get something else in the middle.
Cousins was a dream for many posters, more or less including me. It was the presumable best available big man to be taken from his team, as Anthony Davis or Towns seem untradeable for some years to come. Now, there comes the news. Cousins has been traded for much less than we had imagined. Maybe with Jaylen, this year Minny's second and two future firsts (even non-Nets) would have been possible, so there must be something we don't know.
On the Cousin's trade thread (sounds funny) some of us have proposed some "theories" about attitudinal rejection, not fitting Brad's system, or even my crazy ones about the Pelicans ruining the Warriors in the first round to get an unhappy Durant or a pre-agreement/tampering with Hayward making us unable to add salary beyond this summer.
However, what if our management watch Zizic as an instant starter and good contributor? What if he is the reason we don't want another big man? He has progressed a lot this season from playing in his native country into being arguably the best player in a Euroleague good team, Darussafaka. Anyone can feel this makes sense? Honestly, I've been all the morning at work thinking about this missing oportunity, and I need some firm reason to believe Danny has done the right thing.
Thanks in advance for those answering.
