Could Danny Ainge pull these 3 things off this offseason?

[Donoghus]

I don't think any of those three are happening. 

#3 could be a possibility but I expect both the Bulls & Spurs to match. 

I think we're looking at the prospect of another stop gap year in '15-16 with potential fireworks starting to come at either the trade deadline next year or summer '16.

Danny Ainge is shooting for proverbial fences this offseason 


Could Danny Ainge pull these three things off this offseason? 

1)Trade for Demarcus Cousins (possibly using draft picks and Sully) Bleacher Report and ESPN say Sac town is open to trading him

2) Sign Kevin Love or Greg Monroe

3) Sign Kawhi Leonard or Jimmy Butler

Only thing I see happening their is Mornroe signing.

1) Sully and a pick or two, Sacremento Hangs up laughing.

2)  Why would you want Kevin Love after CLE?

3)  I think they both stay with their teams

1. It would probably have to be closer to 3-4 picks and us taking on some long term salary from the Kings, but  I think it's possible since we have the picks.

2. Cleveland is using him as a floor spacer, not as their first option. He would be our first option and the best player on our team. He is only shooting 13 shots a game get that back up to the 18 he shot last year and he's averaging 20/10.

3. Agreed. I think the only way we get them is to convince their teams to sign and trade them to us, but we do have the picks to make that happen.

I think Greg Monroe is a possibility.

Cousins and Love would be nice, but I think it's unlikely.

I could see Danny trying to make a trade for another player however (Hibbert, Faried, etc.)

Also, I think someone like Al Jefferson could be a possibility as well.

We definitely need to beef up our front court, for sure (not to mention Bass and Jerebko will be free agents.)

Another small forward would be great as Turner drives me nuts with how inconsistent he can be, but I don't know who else they could target. (Leonard probably stays in SA.)

Maybe Draymond Green or Tobias Harris?

Not even a sure thing Monroe leaves Detroit. Sounds like fences have been mended somewhat after the Josh Smith trade.

Money talks, though. Detroit will have plenty of cap space to make him a good offer.

Frankly, I think there's a better chance of getting Love. And I don't think those are very good odds either.

He is pathetic on D.   You do not build a championship team with guys who can't defend.  I bet you he will bolt to Cali as soon as the opportunity presents if they do not win this year.  If they win he resigns.

we COULD change our color to blue next year...

That's odd, I saw the uniforms and I'd swear that they are gold.

[Irish Stew]

1)No 2) Doubt it 3)No

[Celtics#18]

I think we can all agree that Danny Ainge with try all 3 options.

I think we can all agree that Danny Ainge with try all 3 options.

Is that even possible, financially?

[makaveli]

i just don't see Boggie Man in a chapionship type of a team 

[Celtics#18]

I think we should use as many draft picks in a trade to get Demarcus Cousin and we should sign Kawhi Leonard to a max contract(one that the Spurs couldn't match). This would put us in the best position to land Kevin Durant the following season. We'd have to move Kahwi to SG though.

 
I think we have enough future draft picks to entice the Kings for an offer this offseason.

[Geo123]

Do we have the draft pieces to get Demarcus Cousins?

No and especially not what you suggested..  By the way why have you started 5 threads on us trying to acquire Cousins?  I think we get it you want us to get Cousins

I don't see how you sign Leonard to a deal the Spurs don't match. He's a max player and they'd match any offer.
