Boston Celtics

Wishlist: DeMarcus Cousins 

The Celtics are so close to becoming a legitimate threat in the East. Avery Bradley is playing out of his mind this season (18-8) and might be the most underrated player in the NBA. Isaiah Thomas is continuing his all-star caliber play, and Al Horford is now healthy and playing well.

With the Celtics having their own pick and Brooklyn’s pick this offseason, they’re in great shape to develop their young stud Jaylen Brown, as well as all of their draft picks in 2017. However, these picks are also valuable trade bait for what the Celts need the most. A Superstar.

We’re giving the Celtics Boogie Cousins for Christmas! Boogie has been in trade rumors all year and there is no better fit than the Celtics. Instead of having a power forward by committee, Boston can move Horford to the PF position to make room for Boogie at the 5. Happy Holidays, Celtics fans.
