I'd say this probably solidifies that we have a very slim chance at landing Love in a trade. If he was even somewhat willing to commit to Boston their package is 10x better than anything we could offer. I wouldn't be surprised if Asik ends up in Boston this offseason too.
So Minnesota's turning into the Celtics farm system? And this time people can't even blame McHale being a Celtic spy!
Significant upgrade over anything we've got. I've liked him since the draft. Was hoping we'd take him at 18 instead of T_ones.
People are reading way too much into this. Love likes being the center of attention and getting out and about. He was in California with the Kardashians last week in California. The Timberwolves are not going to do him any favors. He ends up with the team that makes the best offer. Besides I can see the marketing pitch to him now.... "Come to Boston Kevin, I know we suck worse than the team you are leaving, but we used to be good!"
Sounds like Love had a really positive experience in Boston this weekend and could very well give the Celtics the approval they need to offer up a good trade package. That's his agent sitting next to him in the pic, btw. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>My <a href="https://twitter.com/BostonGlobe">@BostonGlobe</a> story on Kevin Love's weekend in <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Boston&src=hash">#Boston</a>: <a href="http://t.co/CeMDFAgTmg">http://t.co/CeMDFAgTmg</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Celtics&src=hash">#Celtics</a> <a href="http://t.co/ONiV2UZ94l">pic.twitter.com/ONiV2UZ94l</a></p>— Baxter Holmes (@BaxterHolmes) <a href="https://twitter.com/BaxterHolmes/statuses/473266571222061056">June 2, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
i3oston has been pulling out all the stops. People all over town are rocking K. Love Celtics shirts. They even brought Gronk in to show him a good time tonight. Can you have a better ambassador than Gronk? He’s just always so giddie with life. I mean without knowing what they’re talking about I already know what they’re talking about. Gronk is definitely chewing Loves ear off about all the babes he slayed this week and how he used do mad dunks in high school. How can Love not want to be part of that? Is there any city in the world that has a better minor league system than what i3oston has with Minnesota? Got to love those Nordic mother****ers. Always keeping the cupboard full.
What is Kloves incentive to go to Boston? they seem to be a ways off from contending even with a good pick this year... rondo is aging and thier roster isnt all that impressive. Doesnt he want to go to an immediate contender?
Problem with Love is you do not know if he wants to just win and get into the playoffs or win rings RIGHT NOW..... thats why I feel we will get Melo... and not Love... because Melo clearly wants to win rings, and everyone knows that Rockets are the prime stop to do that with 2 other superstars around you to win for years to come.....Thats the bottom line. The biggest question.
