    Wow the Cs get a lot better with Cousins if this happens, feel bad for Courtney though but he has sucked it up this year for them but to have Cousins there with KG mentoring him wow thats scary.

    DeMarcus Cousins is not going to the Celtics. Teams continue to be told that he's not available. That is all.

    Amick has been wrong before too, I bet he becomes a Celtic this week.

    Even if Cousins was available and rumor was true, Rockets can easily beat that Celtic offer.

    Jeff actually cant be traded till the 15th due to his contract i believe. So, if there IS a deal in place, it will haft to wait.

    That awkward moment when Clutchfans doesn't think a young center with multiple 20 20 games is worth it

    Have you seen how bad the Kings are though? It would be an upgrade for Sacramento at nearly every position. We've all seen firsthand that Courtney Lee can be an average-to-good starting shooting guard, Jason Terry was the best wing player in the Finals two seasons ago, I kid you not, and Sullinger? Sullinger is one of the most polished big men in the last draft class. He would have been a top 5 pick but his value dropped like a rock over pre-draft concerns about his gimpy back--concerns which now seem to have been unwarranted. So you should probably just consider him at least a top 5 / top 10 prospect in the 2012 draft at this point when evaluating the deal.

    That said, this source lacks credibility. I'll believe it when I see it. And even if I see it I still probably won't believe it. You know what? Final offer: Probably just not going to believe it regardless. ;)

    I can only imagine when you throw Cousins attitude in with KG and Hondo. Will make their games more interesting I suppose.

    The only thing I find credible is the Celtics making that offer. No way the Kings were close to accepting it.

    Agreed.

    This is "Pau Gasol not asking for a trade from the Lakers" shades of lol-you-have-no-power-here.

    Teams know that if they trade their players to the big market teams, they will be rewarded in the lottery.

    I've seen how bad the Kings are. I wouldn't even know how to begin rebuilding them, but I would flatly refuse this package. Lee is a good role player and that's it. Tyreke and Thorton are questionable long-term pieces for the Kings, but they don't need another average shooting guard. Terry is fifty years old. Why on Earth would the Kings want him?

    Sullinger and Bradley are nice pieces, but why add three guards when Sacramento already has a glut? And you have to commit to $53 more million between Lee, Green, and Terry after this year? Screw that.

    Cousins need to first turn into Royce White before the Kings would take that bunch of crap from the Celtics.

    Cousins would fit in better with the Celtics than the Rockets. Teaming up with respected vets like Garnett and Paul Pierce is what he needs.
