As tempting as it is to get someone uniquely talented as Cousins, the more I hear about his trade to Pelicans, the better I feel about the Celtics avoiding him.
Divac told Cousin's agent that they were thinking of trading him, so Cousin's agent threatens teams that Cousins won't resign with them...therefore lowering his value.
Imagine having to deal with Cousins next year whine about a contract or threatening the Celtics that he'll leave at the end of his contract. Manipulating and a head case. Bad combo.
This reminds me of when the Red Sox were looking to get A-Rod. Glad the Sox didn't do it (better yet...glad other forces stepped in and prohibited it from happening). Glad someone in the Celtic's brass stayed out of trade talks.
Cousins just isn't a player I would root for.
