    lol at dumping the best Center in the league to make room for Rondo.

    Id trade for him if i were the Celtics but i dont know if we have the players on top of the picks to get it done. Definitely have the picks to do it though.

    Sounds like Kevin Love is opting out.




    I want no part of Brook(endown) Lopez. Would love to have Pierce back though...



    Could see the Celtics attempting some crazy move tomorrow night to try and sway Love.

    @redsoxx do you think Love wants to leave Cleveland or do you think he's gonna take less money so the Cavs can build around him, LeBron, and Kyrie more?

    The Wiggins deal could/would be the worst trade in NBA history if Love decides to leave Cleveland haha.

    I think he hates his diminished role in Cleveland, but hes probably conflicted because thats his best chance to win.

    @redsoxx He was talking about the other Lopez, even though that's not really someone that should sway him into signing there. I honestly think he will consider signing with the Celtics, Lakers, and Knicks. Clarkson, Kobe, Love, Randle, and Jahlil/Russel is definitely would be an intriguing team. Then again the Celtics played the Cavs pretty competitively, so maybe he decides to go there. It's also possible he could be sign and traded to a bunch of different spots.

    How good would he look in Houston's offense next to Harden and Dwight?

    Oh ok ya i had Brook in my head because hes probably opting out, that would have been a squeeze with the C's current cap, would have had to dump Wallace. Not really an enticing group though. Still Celtics have a lot of assets to work with in a trade, just need that one domino to fall.

    Love did an interview saying they made up a while back. Sunshine is probably on the trade block, well either he is or Sully is. But if the C's got Love he would probably be gone.

    Im not real hopeful he comes to Boston. Would have probably been a disaster if he came here last year. Celtics would have either given Rondo the max or payed a fortune for Love just to have him opt out.

    Hmmm I didn't know that! Not sure how I'd feel about it if I were a Love fan.

    If Sully doesnt come into camp in shape then i'll lose all hope for him. He caught a ton of s--- from fans, the media and Ainge for his weight last year and he'll be a RFA next off-season. If he doesnt have the motivation to get paid then he'll never have it.

    Why's that?

    He can clearly ball. He's literally surrounded by the best nutritionists and trainers in the world. All it takes is effort. He could be a big time contributor if he got it together.

    Ya he supposedly played this past season at about 3 bills and its pretty visible. Hes probably put on at least 30 LBS since his rookie year.

    This year



    His rookie year



    Ya i mean id definitely be pissed if i was a Cavs fan, but i remember ppl acting like he killed a guy with that foul. Like his intentions were to rip Love's arm out of its socket.

    The JR Smith thing was like 10X cheaper.

    I want Love nowhere near LA, hope he stays with the Cavs or the Celtics is fine too, either works for me. I'd rather get someone else.

    Patiently waiting for the draft tomorrow. Ive tried not pay attention to who the Knicks are taking because i dont want to have any expectations and be let down. I did hear that Kaminsky worked out and watched film about the triangle with Phil Jackson. I really hope thats not a serious consideration with the 4th pick.

    I also agree with Phil that the NBA has it wrong. The draft should be after free agency. Kind of ruins the flow and makes it harder for a team to build. Especially if a team like the Knicks, who only have 5 players under contract. They should be able to sign players and fill out there roster in free agency and then draft a player who complements your team.

    Weird. Pretty sure the Lakers will pursue him hard since the chucker is supposedly retiring next year and they are in win now mode.

    Love gets too much hate for his play on the Cavs, he was basically turned into a stretch-four last year and his post game was completely neglected.

    Love might not be the best fit with Kobe but i think he would be a great fight with the Celtics and they desperately need a rebounder.

    Think Portland is probably starting the rebuild, i know Woj said they arent but i dont see Aldridge staying.

    I like Vonleh hes another one of those guys from Mass. thats been a lottery pick in the past couple years along with MCW and Noel(none of them going to local schools of course). Last year was basically a red-shirt rookie year for him, expect him to get much more playing time this year.
