All of this was clear from the jump; plenty of posturing, smoke screening, and 'waiting,' it out. We have a week and some change left before the Draft starts. I don't think Love is going to be pleased if he isn't out by July 1st, the day he specifically chose. Whether or not Saunders is serious on his notion of keeping or trying to keep Love reined in, I think GSW/BOS are the only two serious teams that can snag Love. If they can't acquire Love, then the best bet is go the youth movement.
If they are unable to acquire Kevin Love, Boston Celtics are reportedly planning a longer and more methodical rebuilding process that likely would see Rajon Rondo get traded.The Celtics have a taker for Jeff Green if they decide to move him, according to a source.The Celtics are not giving up in their discussions with the Minnesota Timberwolves but have thus far been rebuffed in talks. Boston has offered the Nos. 6 and 17 picks in this year?s draft, Kelly Olynyk and one of their own future No. 1 picks for Love, according to a source.Love has reportedly told the Timberwolves' front office that he will opt out of his contract and leave next offseason if he is not traded beforehand.
That's obvious
Looks like Celticpride1 and I both broke the news and shared this source around the same time....
As for potential suitors in a Rondo trade, Lakers for Nash and #7, Kings for McLemore and #8, and Bobcats for Walker and #9 or Kidd-Gilchrist, #9, and #24 immediately come to mind.
