Danny rolls the dice and trades for Cousins.
not ONE rumor about Cousins before the draft at all....very strange.
Joerger comes from Memphis with a defensive mindset. Koufas was his BU center there and they have Willie Cauley-Stien.
Rondo has burned his bridges there and won't be back.
Moving Cousins ( for the right deal), cleans house for the new head coach.
in walks Gambler Danny.
We get Cousins and B. McLemore
for
#3, 23, 31, 2018 Nets pick ( not next years) and M. Smart
Divac can sell the king fans that he got good value for Cousins in THREE possible lottery picks ( Smart, #3 and the 2018 nets pick ) and got #23 and 31 for McLemore ( a guy they want to move on the last year of his rookie deal).
Danny gets his star and a guy he thinks he can motivate proper with Brad as HC and a winning team and historic franchise.
McLemore would have been the third best 3 point shooter on the Celtics last year and needs a change of scenery to possible reach his potential ( his shot was compared to R. Allen coming out of college by many).
The Kings hit reset with a possible roster of:
WCS
Koufas
Z. Randolph- trade with Memphis
Sabonis- #8 pick
Casspi
Gay
Smart
Belinelli
Dunn- #3 pick
Collison
with Joerger as HC they may compete for the 8th playoff spot out west
for the Celtics:
starters
Cousins
Amir
Crowder
Bradley
Thomas
rotation players:
Turner- resigned
Kelly O.
McLemore
Jerebko
Rozier
Deep Bench:
Hunter
Mickey
Young
T. Maker- #16 pick
A. Barber- #45 pick
#35 is the best draft and stash player left .
or maybe I should stay away from those burritos.
