http://sacramento.suntimes.com/sac-sports/sacramento-kings/7/138/72455/boogie-cousins-trade-rumor/

So this was just published today.  Keep in mind, this idea is strictly just that, an idea.  There's no legit rumor of this.  But at least from what I've read and can remember, this is the first article I've seen from the Sacramento side of things that discusses the Cousins to Boston rumor, and the writer gives what he believes is a trade that could actually get the deal done...

Avery Bradley, Marcus Smart, Jared Sullinger, one of the Brooklyn picks, and the Dallas pick in exchange for Cousins.

If Smart wasn't in the deal, I wouldn't hesitate one bit...but including Smart makes me at least think about it longer.  If the Kings can include maybe one more piece that can legitimately contribute to the team, so not just some end of the bench scrub taking up salary, then I think I'd seriously consider it.  What do you think?

I agree on the Smart part, but I don't hesitate. We just need to get that one 'superstar' on the team and I think Danny can build from there.

I also think we could pry away a guy like Stauskas, or at least Collison, to shore up our guard rotation. They are getting two starting types in return and already have a budding McLemore, it would only make sense for them.

I know it's hard to give up essentially our three best prospects (and two good picks), but getting a guy like Cousins would mean everything to our team...WAY more than Love.

So the deal would be Smart, Bradley, Sullinger, the 2016 Mavs and Nets pick? I think I would do this deal, though I would be sad about it.

Ideally we could keep Smart and throw in two more firsts, but if giving up Smart is the only way to get Boogie, so be it.

If Marcus Smart is the "deal breaker" so to speak...man it'd be tough to let go, because I've said for awhile that he has the potential to be [dang] good in this league in only a few more years.  But ultimately, gun to the head, I think I do it.

I would do it. A lot of celtics fans would be up in arms, but I would certainly do it.

I'd really try to make it so I didn't give up Smart or Olynyk in a deal, but I'd try to move just about anything else.

I just believe in Smart and want him around and Olynyk would fit perfectly next to Cousins.

Hey , if we keep KO and get Cousins, then we would have two legit thugs in our front line ;D

Ya'll know I love AB, like really but I would do this deal because I'm a Celtics fan above all else. I mean, I will cry and be sad for a while but I would get over it. :(

Note to Roy H. - I think this is front-page news worthy.... A rumor about Cousins to Bos that ISN'T from the Boston media.

So before picks and FA signings we'd have a starting line up of:
It
Turner
Crowder
Oly
Cousins

With young and Zeller off the bench.
That's not very frightening. We would need a pg, big time wing and competent 4.
Maybe we resign bass or Jerebko but we'd need to make a big splash in FA to give this team a  chance.

Maybe Draft Tyus Jones as a Back up PG

Btw I am enamored with Christian Wood, PICK HIM

There is no way that package is good enough to get Cousins.

Any package for DMC is going to likely need at least one probable top 5 pick. That is in addition to a high level prospect (i.e. Marcus Smart). I don't we think we have any pick that is likely to be in the top 5, so I don't see Boston as a realistic trade partner with Sacramento.
