Good read, thanks for posting. TP.
Cliff notes: Butler probably isn't available, and if he is, Bulls want unequal value in a trade; Paul George isn't available; Griffin isn't available; Celtics assets are aging (core) and losing value every day (core, picks becoming players). Sweet!
Cousins wasn't available 36 hours ago.
... and he was traded about 22 hours ago so..
I'm treading water here, dude. Gotta protect my mental health till Thursday afternoon.
I'm with you. I was doing better, much better, with this year's trade deadline—not hoping for much, not asking for much, not stressing. Until I found out that NO got Cousins for a bag of balls.
I'm trying really hard to see this Danny's way, I really am. I don't want any headcases on this team, not really. And I know that Cousins has his issues. But dang, he's sooo talented. And his type of talent is what this team needs.
But, as Belichick says, it is what it is. It really seems like Danny's intent on keeping everything at a certain high standard—good culture and high character—and I totally support that and respect that.
