So, people want to give up potentially five first round picks (if you include sully) for love.  love is six years into his career and averaged 26.1/12.5 pg last year.  Sully is two years into his career and averaged 13.3/8.1 pg last year.  love played 36.3 minuted pg and sully played 27.6.  I think sully can become that 20/10 player that love is.  my position stands, sully and two firsts (6th and a future) for love, otherwise i build the team around the potential that i feel sully has.

Exactly my point. I know that's it difficult to get a top 5 player. However you already know Kevin Love isn't one and will never be one. Why give up your war chest of picks for being just good enough to make the 2nd round? We can either rebuild now, the right way. Or rebuild 5 years from now after being a treadmill team. It's Ainge's choices and he likely won't be here to see through the rebuild after Love/Rondo blows up in his face if it happens.

Love was 2nd team All - NBA,  that's pretty close to a top 5 player, he's not Durant, I get it, but you start with Love/ Rondo and get other players to come here. That's the point. The Celtics ARE NOT making 10 first round picks over the next 5 years. Some of these picks are gonna be traded, trade some for Love, keep BK picks for other deals. If these young players are busts or just role players were screwed for a LONG time.  Love and Rondo are proven right now, i dont understand why people want to go back to losing 50 games, this ownership doesn't want it.  This wait 5 years for young players that maybe will be good maybe not, I dont like, espically when there's no Durant or Lebon on this team.
