Even if they win the finals, it seems like Love is leaving Cleveland. The chances get better and better by the day. And to be honest, I don't think it has a whole lot to do with his role in the offense, or David Blatt or wanting to be a featured player or any of that. I think he just doesn't fit in. He's not comfortable around LeBron and the Bronettes. Wade and Bosh were LeBrons boys, same with Kyrie and Thompson. Both Wiggins and Love were not, and LeBron figured he may as well get the guy who's currently a top 20 player. K Love just doesn't fit in with that group. He wants to go somewhere he'll feel comfortable and accepted, more than anything else.
You know who would make him feel comfortable? One of his childhood best friends, who just so happens to be on our team AND recently came out saying Ainge asked him to recruit FA's to Boston, Isaiah Thomas.
Sometimes the reverse optimism around here just gets crazy. I'm not saying hell definitely sign here, and he could darn well leave Cleveland and sign with the Lakers, but were certainly in the running for him. If your two choices were between Boston and LA, nearly every basketball related reason is in the Celtics favor. And with IT and him being so close, we have a good shot. I'm not expecting him to coke here, but I wouldn't be shocked either .
