NBA Trade Rumors are swirling around regarding the possible trade of DeMarcus Cousins to the Boston Celtics. Cousins have been in trade rumors for a couple of months now and same goes to the Celtics.
The Celtics have experienced a lot this offseason. They've been linked to numerous NBA trade rumors and placing some of their players on the trading block. The reason for this action is because of their desire to become a contender and go a long way.
Although they have the one of the biggest acquisition this summer in Al Harford but the team is not yet satisfied with their current roster. Celtics general manager Danny Ainge earlier announce that they will go for a deal once it made them feel that they are "contenders". And it looks like acquiring DeMarcus Cousins is an enticing one.
According to Sportsrageous, the Sacramento Kings seems to be ready to send Cousins to the Celtics and there are two scenarios that could happen. The first one is to send Cousins to Celtics in exchange for guard Marcus Smart and a future pick. The second option is to send Smart together with power forward Amir Johnson to the Kings.
Acquiring Cousins will make the Celtics' frontcourt a formidable one alongside Horford as stated also in the report. It will also provide them flexibility in the middle and will give panic with other superior teams in the East like the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks and others.
Numerous reports also placed Cousins to the trading block. Reports that could send him to the Toronto Raptors and to the Portland Trail Blazers. But these trade rumors never occurred.
On the separate report of YIBADA English, the trade could also involve the Indiana Pacers. Trade scenario is suggesting that Celtics will still send Smart and Johnson to the Kings for Cousins while the Pacers will release Monta Ellis to the Kings for Rudy Gay.
The reports also say that the addition of Smart and Ellis to the Kings will solve their problem on their backcourt and as for Johnson, he can be a mentor for the young frontcourt of the Kings. On the Pacers side, they will also get what they wanted by acquiring Gay. It's been a while that the Pacers are also hunting Gay this offseason and this is their chance to make it happen.
Will the Sacramento Kings release DeMarcus Cousins this time? Will the Boston Celtics can make the deal happen?
