Report: Kings have had discussions about Cousins with Suns

[Tr1boy]

Cousins is not neither Danny nor CBS type of player

Because you say so? I'm not the biggest Cousins fan around, but I wouldn't be surprised if they make a serious attempt to obtain him.

He has attitude problems, talks back to his coaches,  does not play hard on the defensive end... technical fouls left and right

you think CBS is going to accept this behaviour? 

Most players on the Celtics roster are hard working, defensive responsible , mature players... there are no troublemakers

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

HA HAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Alex Len and T.J. Warren?!? AHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH.

Though that would be a very Kings-ian trade.

Though that would be a very Kings-ian trade.

And then you see the ESPN article tomorrow:

"DeMarcus Cousins traded for Alex Len, T.J. Warren, and a second rounder"

[ChefEricT]

I'm with you on this.  He goes against everything we stand for.  His attitude could take away from this TEAM.  Our super intelligent coach could be constantly undermined by this extremely talented, but proven locker room cancer.

Not sure how this has turned into a Celtics Cousins trade thread

but it's not going to happen

Cousins is not neither Danny nor CBS type of player

Ryan Mcdonough on the other hand is fighting for his job and needs to do something

I will say again. If the Suns are not planning to include Booker in the talks there are 0% chance that they will get Cousins

who says??

what is the point of the suns trading booker and acquiring cousins?  The Suns pretty much turn into the king with such a swap

i think the deal I proposed is pretty good (especially the lakers 1st should be a good one on top of their own top 5-7 pick for 2017)

The Suns don't own the Lakers pick.  They own Miami's 2018 protected first and 2021 Miami first.

It's correct you're just reading it incorrectly. The team on the left (Suns) had it, but traded it to the team on right (Sixers) as part of that Knight deal.

exactly

i mean if the team is winning, CBS might bite the bullet

but if the team starts losing, goes on a funk.........Cousins starts to lose it, CBS will lose it

because what CBS does when the Celts go on a funk is makes sure the team crosses the x's and o's to the tee....  i doubt cousins will abide

CBS never had to coach Wallace. And BTW Rasheed Wallace is a saint compared to Cousins

yeah he had some attitude but  he was a good teammate and played the game the right way

I realize that, but as bolded above you said that Cousins wasn't Ainge's type of player. However, Wallace is akin to Cousins in terms of volatile personality.

even if that was true...Wallace could be "controlled".  He usually played hard on both ends, doing the little things to make it easier on his teammates

vs cousins half effort picks, pouting/walking back to provide no defensive help (transition)...   its unbelievable

[Tr1boy]

i don't know maybe winning , celtics rich tradition, leadership from horford, hard work from Crowder, Smart could influence Cousins the right way... but its a risk (and for Brown and 2017 Nets pick, is alot to give up)

[jdz101]

The suns getting Boogie without giving up Bledsoe or Booker...Dreaming.

Pathetic Rumour.

Wallace didn't try hard on either end when he was in Boston.  He was lazy as can be during the regular season.
