Kawhi Leonard and Demarcus Cousins to the Celtics (unsourced rumor)

[Celtics#18]

I've heard that the Celtics want to sign Kawhi Leonard to a max contract this off season. I also heard that the celtics really want to trade for Demarcus Cousins this off season. Does anyone think this will happen?

where did u hear this from?

I guess Cousins is fourth on my list; Jordan, Noel, Monroe, Cousins. I do like Leonard and think if you can add one of my four plus Leonard, then you have something.

I am sure the Celtics want that. Nearly every other team wants it as well. Bass and a Pick for Cousins made me laugh. Not gonna happen and every max offer for Leonard is gonna be matched

[SHAQATTACK]

DA hiring IT ....makes me think he won't go after Cousins ......unless he feels Boogie would be ok with IT off the bench and Smart running the floor show.

I want leonard and marc gasol anything less is not considered "trying" imo.

Brandon Bass' contract is expiring this season, so...

agreed, what is your source and please provide a link. also, OP, as a favor to readers, the present thread title sounds as if it is about to happen. what you are stating is at best a rumor, or someone talked about it. could you change the title to reflect that?

thanks.

Isn't Bass expiring?  People thought his contract was bad now, wait til they see it after he's been sign and traded for Cousins.

[GratefulCs]

I would start going to temple if this happened

[Al91]

Don't trade for Cousins. Draft Cauley-Stein. Re-Sign Bass since you can't count on Sully to play a full, meaningful season.

I guess you could still go after Kawhi but let's not ruin a good thing with the rumored rift between IT and Cousins.

And I love the note, "unsourced rumors" by the way.

I like Leonard he will get better and better.

I'm just not sure about Cousins, he's a talent for sure, but too emotional and unstable to be one of the main pieces on a winning team.

[J. Cole]

Just like every other team in the league. A lot of teams were also interested in signing Lebron last summer including the Celtics, but it didnt mean that all those teams who were interested in him actually had a realistic chance of getting him

[Kane3387]

Unsourced rumors are like silent farts. They stink.

Those guys are probably the two most likely to stay with their current teams. I'd love to have them too, especially Leonard; but we probably won't even get the chance to really make an offer on those two. I don't think signing Jordan, Butler or Monroe is "not trying."
