Two 3 way trade involving Cousins. Cousins not traded to Celtics

[pearljammer10]

If Boston is involved in a trade that has Cousins changing jerseys, the only way I will be involved is it ends with him wearing green. If I'm Danny I'm not helping facilitate him anywhere but green.

Per rumors teams interested to trade for Cousins - Bulls, Heat. Can't see the Celtics trading for Cousins and his unpredictable personality/moods. But Danny may want to be involved as the third team to help facilitate the trade(s)

2 trade ideas

1.
To Heat: Cousins, IT, Young
To Kings: Sullinger, Zeller, Celts 1st, Celtics 2nd, Heat 1st, Whiteside

To Celtics: Winslow, Haslem, Anderson, Mclemore

2.
To Bulls: Cousins, Rozier
To Kings: Sullinger, Portis, Young, Bulls 1st, Joakim Noah

To Celtics: Mclemore, Mcdermott

Trade 1 is great for the Heat, terrible for the Kings and bad for us unless we're going into a full rebuild mode.  Even if the Kings would want the players involved which I doubt, Sully and Zeller are RFAs and Whiteside is a UFA.  So they'd have to overpay to keep them and Sully could just walk anyway.  The Celtics picks won't be good and the Heat don't even have a 1st to give up.  They owe the Sixers a 1st and then two 1sts to the Suns. 

Trade 2 is great for the Bulls, terrible for the Kings and mediocre at best for us.  We're not losing much unless you want to pay Sully 4yr/50mil but we're not gaining much either.  McLemore and McDermott aren't going to move the needle much.

I don't want to move IT on this contract unless I get a sweet deal at the deadline next year.  We are getting fleeced in trade 1.  Also Miami will not trade Haslem and Sac isn't going down the Whiteside road again. 

Anyone who thinks the Celtics wouldn't want Cousins is delusional.  Don't like Harden, don't like Cousins, don't like Westbrook, don't like Melo, don't like LeBron.  Every superstar is apparently a diva and HCBS is above dealing with these guys.

Celts get mugged in both deals. Likely due to your insistence on underrating Sully.

Yep, both are pretty awful.

You missed the part of the quotes where it says the Celtics are one of the three teams currently interested in trading for Cousins, and have made their interest and what they can offer for him well known to the Kings.

Danny will not trade for the crybaby. Not a player CBS wants to deal with

And this is substantiated by?
