If Celtics landed the 2015 #1 draft pick, would u trade it for DeMarcus Cousins?

[Celtics4ever]

Cousins is overrated. He will beat up on teams without a good big player. Above avg big players like vucevic , monroe, nurkic, even sully have consistently outplayed him. His defense especially man to man is overrated.

It comments like this that make me wish we had a Tommy Kick button.  Absurd

[Roy H.]

Why would anybody want to trade okafor for cousins?

Cousins is like the anti smart. Tries when he wants to.

Because Cousins is one of the best centers in the NBA and chances are small that Okafor will ever reach his level.  Okafor's defense is not good.  I think the comparison to Big Al is a good one.  If Towns finishes up the season like he's played the last couple games, I'd probably take Towns over Okafor.

I do agree that towns could end up being a better overall player vs okafor

This is another case of you making ridiculous claims unsupported by facts.

23/11/2blk vs chandler and the mavs
26/11/4 blk vs bogut and the warriors
20/19 vs hibbert and the pacers
28/11 vs bogut and the warriors
22/19/4 vs aldridge, kaman and the blazers
32/16/9/1 vs chandler and the mavs
22/12/3 blk vs m.gasol and the grizz
34/17/3 vs deandre jordan and the clips
22/14/4 vs noah/gasol and the bulls
22/12 vs anthony davis
25/10 vs duncan and the spurs

Now tell me again if he only beat up teams without good big men. 

All good and dandy. Yet how successful have the kings been? Its the carmelo effect

With Cousins in the game, the Kings have been very successful. When he sits, the team falls apart.

How is the kings a horrible team on paper?
Rudy Gay is a good player, previously an all star.
You got collison, mclemore , landry.

And btw if cousins is that good why would the kings trade him for a 1st (okafor)?

False. Gay is a good player, but the Kings are in a tougher conference. The Celtics would probably be like the 4th worst team if in the West.

The Kings absolutely wouldn't trade him for a 1st round pick. That's a hypothetical Chambers thought up to ask "Would you rather have DMC or a first overall pick?"

See the difference? Non one really expects Cousins to get traded for just a first overall pick (nor should they).

I don't see Cousins being traded for just a 1st. Hes worth a lot more. If people consider AD untouchable, so should Cousins. The moment Cousins is free for a trade, its going to be a feeding frenzy. If Cousins was a likable guy, he would've been an Allstar at least twice.

I'm just hoping Vivek messes up, and he makes one bad call 

[Tr1boy]

Well i would not trade okafor for cousins.  I wouldnt trade smart for cousins.

That makes one of us. I'd move Smart in a heartbeat.

I'm trying to figure out if this is sarcasm. 

I really like Smart, but I don't see any realistic scenario other than a potential crippling injury to DMC where he'd have more value than Cousins.

[celts10]

I'd love to have Cousins if possible, but what about Andre Drummond? Any chance we can use some picks to get him off of Detroit's hands or is he pretty much untouchable?

Smart is the anti cousin. Plays hard 24/7.  He also has not shown us everything he is capable of.

How do you know he wont be a better overall player than cousins? He is already a better defensive player.
