If this rumor is true I don't think this will change much.

what would we give NY for Love?

Yeah, that'd be the issue. Not sure what he'd command either in a three-way trade or a separate trade with New York alone.

I know they covet Crowder, but he has to be off the table in a Love trade to cover for Love's defense. I also don't see the 2017 Brooklyn pick being part of it, but perhaps the 2018 pick is in play.

I don't think it would take a whole lot on our end.

NY WANTS got get out of Melo's contract, so they lose some leverage there. Cleveland (LeBron) WANTS Melo, so they're in the same Boat. We'll take Love IF it's a good deal. And since we have the contracts that work and some guys over seas and in the D-League and some future picks. Plus NY going to want to clear some CAP to go after Griffen. So Amirs contract looks really good.

I don't think the 2017 pick is in play, we aren't the seekers of the trade, so the 2018 Nets pick with Memphis and maybe Clips pic should be plenty. Then you still have Smart,Brown and 2017 to take over the team (if they can) when Horford and Love are at the end of their contracts.

I have a feeling AB will have to be included too, but Brown is playing well, and you can maybe see if Nader is ready, and if not, take a guy off of wavers it one pops up. I'd see if they can get O'Quinn for some back up big man help in the trade. as well.

But like, besides probably the Cavs who says no:

NYK sends Melo
Gets: Matching salary, 2018 Bkn pick

Cle sends: Kevin Love
Cle gets: Melo, 2018 Bos pick, Memphis pick

Celtics trade: Matching salary, 2018 Bkn, 2018 Bos, 2019 Mem
CelTics get: Kevin Love

You must be a Cleveland fan. No reasonable Celtic would say yes to that deal.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
not buying it.

love is 4 years younger, more efficient.

not happening.
"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.

That's my thought as well.

Why wouldn't NyK just keep Love?  Makes no sense.  They don't want good players?
