How about being aggressive for Boogie Cousins? Empty out the coffers, Danny.
Sounds like doing that would require competing with a package centered around the #2 pick.
Celts can't hope to do that.
Other than the number 2 pick, The Lakers don't have much to offer the Kings.
They do if rumors are to believed where they are offering #2, Vucevic from ORL, and Randle
Do tell me what the heck is Orlando getting out of this?
Nick Young, #27, a protected 1st rounder in 2031 and the privilege of doing business with the Lakers. Duh.
I think Boston has more than enough assets to compete in a sweepstakes if Cousins goes up for bid. If you were rebuilding a team, that one #2 pick is nice. But your gonna generate high picks by virtue of losing for the first few years. Without DMC that could be one of the worst 3 teams next year. If Boston offers you a couple good, young players and a bunch of draft picks including one or two that seem like locks for the top 10 themselves, which helps your rebuild more? If Kevin Durant is #2, Durant does. But I really don't think Okafor or Russell is that kind of transcendent player. For a rebuild you'd rather have the young guys and the picks.
