The Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons are two teams that have made it clear they are highly interested in DeMarcus Cousins if and when he becomes available, according to front office sources.

One of the posters here just posted Monroe is not being offered. Drummond isn't going anywhere.

We don't have enough more than likely. Hearing rumblings that Celtics may trade Rondo.

On the Cousins front, think Boston can offer the best package. Can offer Rondo, and the Pistons aren't trading any picks re: BG trade

Apparently Boston is after Tyreke Evans as well.

To bad hes a head case and it would be a repeat of the kings situation if he were to come here.We dont need this guy coming in trying to be top dog and making our locker room ****.

I don't think we have the dicipline here for him to get past his maturity issues. I would hang up the phone if the Kings GM so much as mentioned Drummond, and I prefer Monroe over Cousins. Moose may have some flaws, but Cousins is a true headcase.

Cousins and Drummond would be intriguing. Cousins can't be any worse defensively at the 4 than Moose (but will still be bad). He'd take advantage of his size on the other end more than Monroe can.

Based on these rumored teams, would much rather work a 3 way trade to be the one to get Rondo.

This.

Would prefer to stick with Moose and Drummond TBH. Even if we didn't have to give up either of them to get Cousins, he'd still be taking minutes away from them; I couldn't see a three-man rotation working with that trio going forward, especially with how tempremental Cousins is.

Don't quite understand these rumors. Joe and Frank have been preaching high character guys. why would it make sense to go after cousins. Additionally if getting cousins comes at the price of Drummond. f* NO. If its monroe, then i'd want something else in return.

This story truly worries me. Joe don't f* it up

I might consider Cousins+Evans+Jimmer+1st round or rights to swap 1st rounders for Monroe and anyone other than Drummond. I wouldn't give up both Stuckey and Knight. Singler also should stay.

That said I'm still saying I might. Sorry, Cousins is a rebounder and have physical tools. The guy is like Monta Ellis of bigs right now.
