Sources: Celtics extremely interested in Demarcus Cousins

[Atzar]

Being interested and having something to offer are two extremely different things.

I think the Celtics can put together a decent package for Cousins.  We actually have some decent tradable assets now. 

I don't think Cousins is quite as available as the media is saying, though.  He's a 22-year-old player who regularly shows signs of dominance at a position of scarce quality around the league.  His value is also at its lowest after the recent suspension.  Moving him now would just be bad business.

the first rumors involved the celtics having the highest bid for cousins.

Which means Sacramento won't trade Cousins because there are no worthwhile offers on the table.

I read something about a Detroit package around Monroe. I'd say Detroit could offer a better package than us right now. Who knows if they would. Monroe is playing so well I'm not sure they offer him up for a question mark in Cousins.

I also think that if we can get Cousins without moving Rondo we have to do it. The future is something that has to be considered. Bradley is really great, I love his energy and his defense. Cousins is a 22 year old center who will be a force in this league for the next decade.

I think we should trade whatever we need to trade outside of Rondo for Cousins. Period.

I would not trade Monroe for him if I was Detroit.  Monroe is productive and not a head case.   Why would they want DMC over Monroe?

Speaking of Cousins was reading an article from the Herald and saw this video. Hilarious interview watch him turn around and mean mug the media can Doc handle him?!? Lol

How so being interested means you're willing to offer something and outside of KG/Pierce Danny is probably dangling everybody or will be soon

Rondo is the only player on the Celtics roster good enough to tempt Sacramento into parting with DeMarcus Cousins.

The Celtics cannot make any other viable trade package.

You absolutely love to be the "Know it all" don't you. Every time i read something from you its something about how you just KNOW something is true. No ifs ands or buts about it. Even tho you don't have the slightest clue and your OPINION is no better than anyones else's.

Im not implying that a trade could happen, but I do think you are overrating cousins.

If cousins had rondo's worth and impact, his team wouldn't be sucking so consistently during his presence. He has immense talent and the right system could nurture him to be a very good player, but I dont think he'll ever be the dominant force some on here say he is.

It's not Cousins' current ability. It's his potential.

You don't give up a guy like that who can be a franchise cornerstone for what Boston has to offer (outside of Rondo). Rondo is the only guy with enough value on the Celtics to make moving Cousins worthwhile for Sacramento.

Detriot has the edge if they are willing to part with expiring contract Maggette and take on Garcia.

Pistons get: Cousins, Garcia
Kings get: Correy Maggette, Drummond and a Piston 2013 1st rounder

The Celtics couldn't comnpete with that offer.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

They would probably ask for both bradley and sullinger.

If it means landing DeMarcus, throw in a 1st rounder or two with that.

Yeah id probably do that deal. I'm 60/40 on it. Gotta see how AB preforms when he comes back. Can the team straighten him out? Is he worth the headache?

The 2013 Piston's pick (top14 protected) plus Ben Gordon was traded to CHA for Corey Maggette.

What makes you think cousins will be a franchise cornerstone?

10-4, good to know. a 1st rounder with that package is a little overkill anyway. Drummond (though a horrific ft shooter at the moment) should be high end enough of a prospect to get it done.
