Kevin Love

[MichaelJ]

Let's assume that the Celtics eventually add Asik.

Let's also assume that Minnesota realizes it isn't re-signing Love after next season.

At the draft, would you trade both of our first rounders and Sullinger for Kevin Love?  Other contracts (trade exception too?) would have to be added, but that would be the foundation for the deal.

Oh, then reunite Hayward and Stevens.

PG - Rondo
SG - Hayward
SF -
PF - Love
C - Asik

It depends on where the picks are. If it's a top 10/15 then I probably wouldn't, but if they're outside lotto and Minny does I might consider it. Sully is a fave of mine though.

I think it might be too soon to assume Love can stay healthy an entire season.

I wouldn't trade Sully if he stayed healthy this whole year and ended up averaging, say.. 18 ppg 8 rpg. That's promising stuff.

I would try to package the picks for a better SG

[rondoallaturca]

I'd love to see Hayward and Love on the same team just for the sake of them forming the palest duo in the league.

I'd rather do Asik, Green and Crawford for Gasol if they decide to blow it up next season. I can see them wanting to build around Mike Conley since he's younger and PGs are probably more important to a team nowadays.

Yeah, in acquiring Asik, I assumed he would just be flipped for an even better center in the near future. There is no way [unless we got a superstar at another position] that he would suffice as the center for a championship-caliber team.

As for Sullinger, unless he gains value in the Big Al sense (or Cousins/Drummond/Hibbert of today), then I see no reason to trade him. He really is proving to be a very valuable player and it's not like he is flaky or anything so I see no reason for his trend to suddenly start trending downward.

If our pick was not a top 8 I would strongly consider this.

[MichaelJ]

That's the thing.  I think Danny's plan in getting Asik is to lock down a potential 10-10 guy and add at least one other star player.

Seriously? We'd be lucky to get Love for Sully and two lotto picks and I love Sully. Youre really undervaluing Kevin Love here guys a top 5 player even tjough his defense sucks

These picks are looking more and more like landing in the 16/17-25 range so it wouldn't be a bad idea. That's why seeing where they actually land is so important if we use them for trades.

[MichaelJ]

Love is young enough to be considered a long-term building block so I wouldn't lose too much sleep over the picks.

[CelticG1]

If I'm getting a "superstar" player I pretty much need a 2 way player unless they are a prolific scorer like a Dirk Nowitzki

PG - Rondo

You'd have Love and Hayward both on the max, with Rondo due a near-max extension. Are you sure you want to throw Hayward in there?

Regarding your Sullinger + two 1sts idea, I think it's solid (as long as we have an inclination that Love will sign long term, of course)

Asik is always making fun of those guys for how white they are

[Who]

The way Sullinger has been going lately, he could be the best main piece Minnesota get offered for K-Love in a trade next year if Minnesota decide to trade him (should Love not sign a contract extension).

Boston have a good case as the frontrunner to land Kevin Love.

I don't think Boston would need to give up 2 first rounders either. I think one, not even a high one, one late first + Sully could be enough to get it done.
