Chad Ford: C's may have the best offer for Love

[Onslaught]

I would argue that we don't know - at all - what Sullinger is.

Love is an established NBA star, with the physical ability to do everything a champion needs him to do.

This franchise is the Boston Celtics. It doesn't spend five or six years clinging to the futility of hope, especially not when draft-built champions are as rare as a Rondo trey.

We don't have time to wait. Make the move, Danny.

You do remember 1994-2007 correct? I mean I love my team but boy did they stink it up for a long time.

I do, and I don't want to go back down that road.

Neither do I. Thankfully, the Celtics' FO is a lot better, nowadays.

You sound like Rick Pitino when he traded Billups.

Billups, Johnson, Pierce and Walker could've been a nice team.

  Pitino didn't have such a rational reason when he traded Billups.

So it looks like minnesota knew this all along but threw out reports that the Bulls had the better offer. It looks like mission accomplished if were giving them all our picks this year Sully or KO along with a coupe firsts next year (Clipper and Brooklyn pick) hope that isn't the case. That's way too much, no?

I have faith in Ainge though if it'll help us land Melo and that third shoe drops we have to do it.

No its way too much.

No, it's not.

Your entitled to your opinion, but so am I, and I think it is too much for a guy who everyone knows is leaving anyways.

Depends what acquiring love also leads too. If Ainge didn't know ray silken would lead to kg he would never have traded the fifth overall pick for just him.

We might not even need to give that up, we don't have to give up fair value for Love, all we have to do is have the best offer.

Chad ford is an idiot. He is no woj

Ainge has never overpaid as a celts gm. He will prob offer sully or ko and 17 but thats it. If the wolves say no , too bad.  He is set to draft smart, gordon, randle or whoever drops at 6th

You dont give up everything on a guy who might jet after 1 yr. His verbal promise means nothing to me. Look at what boozer did to the cavs

There is so much wrong with this post... You're deluded if you seriously think Ainge will only offer Sully, and the 17th pick...

Chad Ford is no Woj, but that doesn't mean he's an unreliable source. He's plugged in with the General Managers.

He is unreliable.  Just bc he works for espn ppl think he is reliable

Woj is prob the only reliable nba source out there. And his info only comes out like the day prior of the actual event

Your deluded if you think he is going to give up the farm on a possible 1 yr rental.

[cman88]

chad ford is a pretty good source even if he isnt woj...you just dont want to hear it because you dont want to give up sullinger/olynyk

hate to break it to you triboy....if you want an allstar who averages 26ppg and 12rpg you are going to have to give up more than sullinger and #17.

at the very least you are giving up sullinger, #6 and #17. maybe throw in another first rounder. I hardly call that overpaying.

now if you give up 4 first rounders, sure that is overpaying. But ainge has 10picks over the next 5 years. hard to believe he uses all of them...

[LooseCannon]

He was reportedly willing to give up Rondo for a possible one-year rental of Chris Paul with no guarantee of an extension.  In a trade with no extension, I think Ainge is willing to give up at least 75% of the value that he would trade for Love with an extension as part of the deal, possibly more

- Woj has already said the C's are going after Love
- Love says he wants to be traded by july 1st
- Love has visited Boston and partied with many sports stars from the patriots
- Love went to fenway with his agent and trainer , just happens to meet Rondo
- Wyc stated that we could see fireworks
- C's clearly have the best offer for Love, he has said he doesn't want to go to CLE
- Love goes on ESPN and the only thing they couldn't ask him about is Boston.....


It is going to happen . We might be throwing in an extra 1st rd pick to get Martin back, or move Wallaces contract . 



This is going to happen
