Yeah, yeah, it's likely Butler and Cousins are both untouchable for the next 12 months, but I definitely think there will be rumors linking Boston to these two as trade targets (because obviously Boston is linked to every "available" star out there). I've seen so many ideas posted around this blog/forum recently, so I decided to make one here.
And by "Win Now", I don't necesarilly mean it has to be this season, but maybe starting our run at contention starting next season with the proposed roster (shown below).

That would be a pretty good team, don't you think? Probably need a backup 2 still.
Again, this is just for fun, and it did work in the ESPN Trade Machine lol.
What do you guys think of these trade ideas?
