Cleveland has more than enough ammo to trade for Love and with that not only will the Cavs be elite for the next 4 years at least, the Celtics will have no one to pin their hope to for the next few years. They have to just tank it out the next couple years and hope for a superstar.

Love will go to Cleveland now. all they have to do is offer wiggins and Flip will flip.

Aren't you the guy who just asked how the Celtics with Rondo and Green could be better than last season?

The only hope against Love is that Lebron will take the max, Kyrie just signed a 5 year 90mil extension, and Love will take a big cut and leave nothing else for the roster.

I wouldn't panic. We were out of the Love chase long ago, and Cleveland will be far from 'elite'. Even Lebron acknowledged that it will be tough to win a title and it will test his patience. Ainge is putting together a strong foundation with a lot of assets. No need to despair.

Yeah, but that was under the implication the roster was still the same and we wouldnt get Love.

At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

At least we'll get that protected first rounder.

You're right, though. This wraps up any hope of 2014-15 contention. I think that the Kings deal and the all-out youth movement are still on the way

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Dunno if they give up Wiggins for Love, but it is strange that Wiggins hasn't signed yet.

They'll have trouble fitting Love in with a max deal unless they send out a tonne of assets with the salary needed. I think they could sign him over the cap though next year.

Did Lebron mention Kyrie in his sports illustrated essay?
I think it would be in the Cavs interest to trade Kyrie Irving for Kevin Love (if he agrees to opt in), and then sign some better role players with the third large salary slot after Lebron and Love.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

I wasn't crazy about him either, but Ainge needs to go all out here.

Rondo needs to be moved ASAP.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
I still don't get why they don't try to keep Wiggins as their SG. Lebron at PF/SF. Wiggins/LBJ would be a tough defensive duo...

I really don't see why people are freaking out. This really changes nothing for Boston. Or for Minnesota, for that matter.
