The Boston Celtics are targeting New Orleans Pelicans' Center Anthony Davis.  It is possible the Pelicans will not move their All-Star center.  If that's the case, there are other options for the Celtics to improve at center. The Celtics could go after DeMarcus Cousins.  He has one year left on his current deal at $18.1 million.  He would be an upgrade from Al Horford.  Cousins is a threat to score down low with 26.2 points per game.  He can rebound and box out better than Horford.  And he averages 12.3 rebounds per game, he improves scoring after fast-start breaks on defense while increasing opportunities for second-chance points on the offensive end.  Plus, he blocks opponents' shots with 1.5 blocks per game. Cousins is a fit for this Celtics team.  The only downside is his contract.  Boston may not want to move any of their players for Cousins.  He would be a rental and who knows if he would want to come

Irving joined the team after spending his first 6 years in Cleveland.  In a Cavaliers uniform, he went to 3 NBA Championships and won 1.  The Celtics wantedhim because he is 25, entering the prime of his career and he helped a team play deep into the playoffs.  Irving wanted a change of scenery as well as the opportunity to lead a team rather than play second fiddle to LeBron James.  The Celtics are hoping he is the missing piece of the puzzle for an NBA title. Irving is scoring 23.5 points per game.  He can drive the lane for easy buckets, adding points by free throws.  Irving is setting up the plays to run the offense.  With him at point guard, the Celtics offense is flowing.
