Simmon's Kevin Love to Boston Scenario

[LarBrd33]

Why do people think LeBron will go back to Cleveland? I don't see it...

Let's say that does happen, then I think Miami instantly puts Bosh on the block and go's into a full rebuild.   We would be among the few teams that could put package together that Bosh might agree to an extension all while not giving up as much for Love since he is older.

Can't bosh opt out of his contract too?

Simmons is an idiot. No way ainge trades all those pickd

  Agree on both counts.

Curious... do you guys hate Simmons' trade idea more... or the one from Zach Harper:

Celtics receive: Kevin Love
Wolves receive: Kelly Olynyk, Jared Sullinger, Brandon Bass, Phil Pressey, Vitor Faverani, Nos. 6 and 17 picks in 2014, Celtics? first-round pick in 2016

Here, the Wolves are basically getting the picks and then a bunch of cap filler and former first-rounders. There?s no reason to pretend Olynyk and Sullinger would be pieces for the Wolves at all. Being a Wolves fan since they've come into the NBA, I am pretty good at recognizing overvalued first-round picks who won?t be as good as you hope they are. This is about the picks, and with Nos. 6, 13 and 17 in this draft, they could load up or move up.

  That's a tough question. I'd have to think about it. Would I rather have KO and the 2016 pick or 2 2015 picks? I'd probably rather keep KO unless there's some kind of unrest in Clipper-land.

I appreciate you posting the other trade idea, but it is kind of nonsense. If he considers Sully and KO as just cap filler, then I would simply remove them from the trade and keep them. I will trade them the three picks and 'legitimate' cap filler (ie, no additional assets). That is better than Simmons' trade, yes.

Yes.

So then maybe Miami's big 3 all opt out, re-sign for less money and add Melo.
