The Durant fiasco has me thinking it is now time for Cousins.  Danny get our center of the future and let Horford play PF.

Boogie has to show he can actually win basketball games

Boogie has to continue to frustrate the Kings to encourage them to trade him and drive down his price.

I know Boogie has been a cry baby but I also think most guys that good would have demanded a trade by now. I know there are valid points about the Kings not winning but I think he deserves SOME credit for that.

Lets move on to plan B.

Celts are in trouble if Danny doesn't have a plan B. Horford doesn't complete the job.

No doubt there is a plan B.  DA knows that the Horford window is limited.  He needs a star as soon as possible -- preferably this season but at worst in 2017-18.  Trading Brooklyn picks and Brown is not my preference but Danny's got to get it done somehow.   Otherwise, the Horford signing goes to waste.

Not gonna happen, but if the Clips were to blow things up I'd rather have DeAndre than Blake.  He would take less to get, and would secure the boards and paint.  Griffin is good but bigs that don't spread the floor and are lackluster defenders are becoming more and more difficult to work into the game.

The problem is that the discussion will begin with the 2017 Brooklyn pick, and probably include Smart and potentially Jaylen Brown.

All you youth movement lovers OK with that?

I'm not a youth movement lover, so bring it on.  I love that deal.

This has to stop. Cousins isn't coming here.

Lol i like the adult tone to this post.

Neither am I.

We'll be waiting for the rest of our lives, the way Ainge drafts, so let's put the chips in Vlade's face and see if he blinks.

Signing Horford is a commitment to win more now. Time to cash in and get it done.

This^^ Let's hope this happens...Boogie is an all-star playing for an incompetent, mediocre franchise. Sooner or later, he'll want to build an actual legacy, and demand to be traded.

No! No! No!  We have high quality guys on our team. I'm proud to root for Horford, Bradley, IT.

The day Cousins joins our team is the day I sell my tickets and become a Knicks fan. He's a jerk.

I would not trade the next two Brooklyn picks + more for 1.5 Years of Cousins.

If he doesn't re-sign after 2018... well we mortgaged our farm for him.

Imagine being Cousins in Sacramento, and seeing all the action that's going on in the NBA, free agents, trades, draft picks. I'm surprised he hasn't demanded a trade.

They'll actually be worse this year than last.
