odds of Celtics making a trade/ sign someone that is atleast a fringe all star?

Now that we are out of the Durant sweepstakes what solid players do we have chances of landing?

1) Butler- possible, but not having Kris Dunn makes this deal harder. A pick, Jae Crowder and, Sullinger? What are the odds you think we get him in terms of percentage?

2) Cousins- Nah. Too expensive, can't play defense, nitwit. Horford won't want to play with this guy, that's for sure. The odds Danny gets him?

3) Khris Middleton- Hes a fringe All star caliber player. Can do it all. Shoot. Defend. Rebound.Average at driving to paint but that's not our priority. Odds Danny gets him?

4) the odds we land an untouchable? Anthony Davis. 0.01% chance imo

I'd be so excited if we somehow got Middleton without breaking the bank. 

I think a trade for an upgrade could still be in play.  Depends on a number of factors.

You have to think that Cousins and Butler just both became a lot more available. Neither of those teams will be able to surround those guys with enough talent to deal with these super teams out West.

There were rumblings that Cousins was a plan B option if we got KD. I think some guy named Ian who is a Boston source was reporting that.
