Now I could care less about Jackson, but Drummond single handily checks off every one our teams needs. ...
Well, no. Cousins does that but no one else.
Two Detroit starters being made available should send up red flags.
Also, why would we want to enable Detroit? Most deals are good for both teams., but this one probably helps Detroit more than Boston. They are a conference rival. I've said the same thing about dealing with Philly and Orlando. Don't help them!
I don't agree with the Cousins part. He needs the ball in his hands to be successful. Off the ball he's pretty bad. Plus, let's not even bring up the lackadisscal effort when he doesn't run back on D or doesn't try because he's in the midst of sulking over this or that.
This isn't a criticism of you, Eddie, but isn't this true of most stars in the NBA? LeBron, Wade, Chris Paul, Griffin ... most of them spend a lot of time moaning and groaning to the refs. I certainly wouldn't turn down any of those players for this reason.
It's not about barking at the refs. The problem with Drummond is that when things don't go his way (misses easy shots, gets blocked, gets pushed around ...), he starts pouting and loses interest. He cannot handle adversity at all. If being a Celtic is being "gritty, never give up, do whatever to win", Drummond is the polar oppsite.
I have not heard this about Drummond, do you have a source?
