I know these board are exploding right now, but it would be awesome to get Butler and cousins. Is it Possible?

Maybe?
If Horford and Isaiah are off the table, I think '17, Crowder, Bradley, Rozier gets you Butler
'18, Brown, Memphis '19, Smart, Zizic, Yabusele, Jerebko could get you close to Cousins

realistically, no.

Only way to get either guy without gutting the entire roster is via Nets '17.

Adios Al Horford!  Much rather have IT, Boogie, and Butler!  A great PG, a great C, and a great scorer/defender at SG/SF!  Perfect!  No need for AH.  Not a great scorer or rebounder.  Anything Al can do, Boogie can do better!  Of IT, Boogie, and Butler, NOW who do you leave open while double teaming one of the others?  If DA can somehow make it work, I don't really care too much who is left from our current roster.  All the others can be replaced and still have a great shot at a title for many years!

Sure, you can get pretty much anything you want. The question is, would they be willing to surrender the assets required to consummate such a deal? I doubt it.

No.  Neither the Kings nor the Bulls are trading those guys without getting the 2017 Nets pick, so it's one or the other

However, I think it's possible (but admitadly very unlikely) to get either Hayward/Boogie or Blake/(George or Butler) if you sign one in free agency and then trade for the other using AB, the 2017 Nets pick after signing (like with Wiggins) and either the 2018 Nets pick or Brown (maybe even both, considering that those deals would at least put us even with Golden State)
I'm bitter.

Do you think this is Danny's overall goal? To get a big three of IT Butler and Boogie?

I'm not in for Cousins.  He's a nut job.
