A lot of talk, no action.

If anything, I would look at two players more than others for legit trades: Utah's Hayward and SAC's Cousins.

I just don't see Butler, Millsap and some others being moved for numerous reasons.
I think the Cs should go after either hayward or cousins but danny gotta come off them picks

Butler is only a better scorer...Pip was better at every other aspect....advanced stats be damned
One from 81 games and the other is in 35. The just these limited analytics say Butler is likely to have a better season if he played the same amount of games.

Really don't see Hayward being moved unless he goes to Utah and tells them there's no chance he's coming back, which I don't see happening. And the Kings are currently the 8th seed, there's no chance they're moving Cousins.

Why would the Celtics give up picks for Hayward when he's gonna be an unrestricted free agent in less than 6 months?

If he says he will sign an extension but im thinking he gonna wait and see what other free agents can get. I strongly think cousins should be on the Cs i highly doubt he wants to be a first round sweep

He's got a few years left on his deal, and more importantly, the Kings are currently in playoff position after missing the playoffs for 10 straight seasons.

Cousins isn't getting traded under any circumstances

There is definitely a chance they move Cousins and Hayward could be moved for the right price. The issue is, it's a very high price. Playoffs or not, if Boston offers SAC Brooklyn's picks, Jaylen Brown and Boston's 1st 18'. It will be extremely hard for SAC to turn down. Especially seeing that they will likely lose Rudy Gay in the off-season.

Butler is not getting traded. 3 years, good contract, ownership will never approve.
Millsap would need value in return, considering that he wants to return, it's unlikely.
Melo needs to waive his NTC, unlikely af.
Ibaka not going no where.
Durant is clearly not going no where as is Steph.
Hayward and Cousins could if their teams get the great value for either player and unlike for others, it's possible for them.

I will be shocked if the Celtics offer that. Highly doubt Cousins is going anywhere
