Stephen A Smith: Love not liked by Saunders, Minny FO and Minny Players

[D.o.s.]

Here is Ford's latest Mock as of this morning: 

The Celtics were very busy last week, holding workouts with Noah Vonleh, Aaron Gordon, Marcus Smart, Julius Randle, Gary Harris, Nik Stauksas and Doug McDermott, essentially everyone they would consider with the No. 6 pick.

I still believe that Vonleh, Gordon and Smart are the heavy favorites if Boston keeps the pick, with Gordon being the choice right now given the way we have the draft board playing out.

But I continue to get strong signals that the Celtics are trying hard to use pick No. 6 and 17 along with future No. 1s and young players such as Jared Sullinger or Kelly Olynyk to persuade the Minnesota Timberwolves to trade them Kevin Love. One source close to the Wolves said that while Flip Saunders does not want to trade Love, he realizes the team likely will lose him this summer and the package the Celtics are offering is probably the best he's going to get. Given the strength of the draft, picks 6, 13 and 17 could land them three young starters to help them rebuild their roster quickly.

Have you become a Celtic and Timberpuppy insider or do you have some link you want to share regarding this information?

sorry - it's insider on ESPN with Chad Ford, been posted in multiple threads...

Okay, you confused me with the first paragraph stating that was from Ford and then the rest seemed like it came from you because of the spacing. TP. That's interesting coming from Ford.

If we give up the #6, #17, two future firsts, and Sully or Olynyk then we must be dumping a bad contract on them as well.   That is WAY too much to give up for one year of Love.
