Kevin Love Available

With the news that Minnesota Timberwolves F Kevin Love will hit free agency next off season and is not interested in an extension with the T-Wolves, a handful of teams have emerged as potential landing spots in a trade, including the Boston Celtics.

The Rockets, Warriors, Bulls, and Lakers also appear to be players in this as well.

In order to offer up the biggest trade package possible we'll assume that he signs long term with the team that acquires him.

What the Celtics have to offer:
1st round pick TBD (lottery tomorrow, check out countdown below), it will be #1, #2, #3, #5, #6, #7, or #8.
#17 this year
All of their future #1's
Clippers #1 next year
Nets #1 2016 & 2018

Jared Sullinger
Kelly Olynyk
Avery Bradley (RFA)
Brandon Bass
Salaries (Anthony, Bogans)


What is the 25 year old All-Star worth?

How many 1st rounders do you need to include?  I'd be ok giving up anything besides a top 2 this year (Parker or Wiggins).  Embiid may go in top 2 then I'd take the other at 3.

But would you have to give a 1st this and maybe next plus Sullinger?  Still worth it.  Give them the worse pick between yours and the LAC next year.

Rondo + Love is good.  But they still need someone else to contend for a title.  Carmelo?  Pipe dream but why not dream big?

Going to be quite a month.
