I really think there's a way you could trade AD and rebuild around Cousins. Trade for Bledsoe to help make sure Cousins stays, even if he just does a short 1 + 1. Then trade AD to Boston for all of their wings. I'm not sure Boston would make that trade in season, but Tatum/Brown/Morris/Smart is really the only way to make the trade work salary wise unless you get a 3rd team involved willing to take Horford and send back a cheaper but competent center.

Bledsoe/Rondo
Holiday/Smart/Moore
Brown/Tatum
Morris/Hill
Cousins/Diallo/Ajinca

It may only go as far as Cousins' control over his emotions will take them, but you have 2 PGs that can help manage him and for once a lot of wing talent that is over 6'4. You can probably get a pick or 2 as well, just not the good one.

I want to see what Rondo will do to this team before i say anything ridiculous like trade AD, but i'm getting closer to being ready to blow it up. Fire Gentry, Fire Demps, and trade AD for a kings ransom of young players and a pick, and don't trade away your first round pick either. Just start from scratch.

yeah. that is the issue. ideally, i would let him walk too and go full rebuild.

they would definitely need to ask for Lakers/Kings pick from Boston. building a team around Brown+Tatum + pick would be pretty interesting for me. but this market makes that pretty tough to do.
