Before you blow this thread up and think I have been drinking. If he leaves OKC most people think he is going to go to Washington. But what if Danny is able to get Cousins for lets say Sully Bradley and a few picks etc. We have the cap space to sign him. We now have the best center in the game. We have lots of youth and still decent amount of picks. Most likely wont happen but if we can get that one star more may come.

Am I the only one who wouldn't want Durant??  He's about 7 feet tall and has foot problems.  When has that ever worked out??? 

However, I guess if Sac-Town was ever to trade DMC the C's could put together an good enough offer and It could attract Durant.

I would love to get Durant next summer - after he proves he is healthy again.

I don't want any part of Cousins because the guy is a head case and always has been. The entire Celts organization seems to have great chemistry right now. I don't want that idiot coming in here and creating problems.

Big Z went on to become a two-time All-Star and play 10 more seasons after suffering a significantly worse injury than Durant.

out of all these crazy and outrageous trade suggestions people come up with on this board, I like this idea the best.

of course we don't have anything to give up to get them but at least it's not another "trade for Melo" thread.

Why yes, yes you are.  Second best player in the league -- why would you want him?

Extremely unlikely, in any case.  Almost unrealistic actually.  We could but we won't.

At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

It's possible, in the sense that it's not impossible. 

Beyond that, it'd take a pretty incredible string of events to happen.  So yes, we could, but no, we won't.

I don't doubt his talents, I doubt his ability to actually get on the court.  While Big Z is a great example of a 7 footer over coming foot injuries, I can list a lot more guys (Yao Ming, Bill Walton, etc) who had their careers end due to them.

Anything is possible.

If you asked the question in 07, can we get KG and Ray Allen, and pair them with Paul Pierce, I would have said, your dreaming!
