The Boston Celtics are in need of a star player to take them to the next level, and they think they've found the guy they want.
According to ESPN's Marc Stein, Boston will try to trade for Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins:
Will they open their war chest of future draft picks to try to pry DeMarcus Cousins away from Sacramento via trade? The early word out there is: Bank on it.
Will they be in the mix for pretty much any name player who unexpectedly comes available in coming months?
Bank on that, too.
Boston has loaded up on draft picks and young prospects in hopes of making a deal like this, but nothing can be done until the postseason has ended.
Cousins averaged 24.1 points and 12.7 rebounds per game this season.
