He will go somewhere he can have a great chance to win a ring. That will be somewhere with established superstars. So.....the Lakers, the Clippers, the Nets. Those would be my guesses.

He won't be deciding on Boston. Sorry CSers, that's not happening.

I really don't think the Celtics want him, and Stevens wouldn't play him if he had him.

Why wouldn’t CBS play him?  He’d immediately be the best passing big we have, and the best outside shooter.

Do Ainge and Stevens want him? I highly doubt it.

I think ....^ is the bottom line .... the rebuttal of AD to be a Celtic , Kawhi thumbing his nose at Raptors,  the  the departure of Hayward , Horford and Irving pretty much knixs our realistic chance of anymore " Superstars /  even being chased by Danny .  I honestly believe he is done with top Five talents or even top ten maybe .  We are stuck , unless we are Gifted a unknown Giannis talent by accident.  Danny isn't going to use proven current Super Stars .

We may not have another. ....Shaq , Irving , KG level superstar HOF , again on this team long as Ainge is GM

I don't think this is a healthy attitude . 

Because it is th attitude that will cause Tatum to leave eventually , Danny won't do what is necessary to get the top Five players on Boston . 

I endth the sermon for today  :)

He’s kinda cooked. Is he reaaaaally any better than the bigs they have? I don’t think so.

I think he is.  And, he’d free us up to trade one to clear salary, too.

He’s been in double digits with at least seven rebounds the last four games.
I can literally say the same about TT though. I understand he’s big but he’s never been a good defender and I don’t really think he solves any of the Cs problems. Seems like he’s a Kanter 2.0 situation where he can’t be played in certain situations.

I think Brad with his positionless basketball philosophy struggles with these types of bigs - the ones which aren't great defensively and who can't switch multiple positions. DMC would end up being another Kanter, he would get limited minutes and make a limited impact, like Kanter did last year. Kanter is playing more minutes for Portland this year and is making a bigger impact on their team.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

By every metric Theis is a better shooter than Cousins.  Better 3pt shooter, field goal shooter, free throw shooter.  For the season and for their careers.  Cousins is at 38% from field, and that's rounding up!

Kanter helped us sweep the Sixers last year.
