Today is the day that players signed in the offseason can be traded, so that means today is also the official start of NBA rumor season… and the Celtics are front and center in a new report:
Sacramento Kings All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins has drawn significant trade interest from the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls, league sources tell SheridanHoops.
Sacramento is listening, but the Kings are in a holding pattern and currently have no plans to make a deal despite sitting in 13th place in the 15-team Western Conference, the sources said.
But should owner Vivek Ranadive, general manager Vlade Divac and coach George Karl decide to change course, they have been made acutely aware what is available from the Celtics, Heat and Bulls.
We all know how these things go… these rumors and sources could be coming from anywhere. It could be Sacramento publicly saying they’re standing pat but lobbying through sources to bump up offers. It could be flat-out wrong. All I know is that they’re not going to stop until the trade deadline passes (much to Mike Gorman’s chagrin).
