Ok, let's just run with the idea for a second...that is, Love leaving the Cavaliers.
Why?
What do we have to compare to Lebron and Irving right now? Don't care if they aren't the best of friends, at this point, championships seem to be all that matters.
...but, if he leaves the Cavs, why would he choose us over LA? Play with Olynyk or play with Kobe? And if they can sign him, sign Rondo, and keep their #2 pick, that's a HUGE step towards relevancy, even in the West.
Last year, when we still had Rondo and Green...I was open to the thought of getting Love. But now, he's part of a team that will likely be fighting for the championship, a teammate of arguably the best player in the NBA the last decade...and if that is not enough, he could leave and go to LA and be with one of the top 5 players of the last decade in Kobe...
Why in God's name would he even consider Boston at this point?
The Love Boat has sailed...Godspeed. Time to look in other harbors.
