Doesn't make sense unless Love is on the team

He's a 23 year old All Star. It makes sense regardless

Exactly. I brought his name up on the "relentless pursuit of Love" on the main page yesterday. I think he is someone we definitely have to consider at this point. As I mentioned on the main page, Indy S&T Stephenson, Boston trades Green and the Clippers 1st next year for him. Fair deal for both sides. Then wait until the offseason next year or wait until the trade deadline when the Wolves are floundering and we have more leverage for a deal for Love.

So we start Gerald Walace at SF?   I just don't get how that could work to bosons advantage.

Stephenson doesn't make any sense unless Danny intends to :

1. Trade Green and start Stephenson at SF - don't feel this is an upgrade at all,  but I guess it does make us younger

2. Trade Bradley And start Stephenson at SG - unlikely as Bradley would need to agree to a sign and trade,  and seems very adamant that he wants to stay in Boston

3. Bring Stephenson of the bench as a 6th man - unlikely that will go down well given his personality.

Option 1 is the only one that really makes any sense,  but I really don't want a 6'5" SF with mental issues in a starting 5 that also includes a 6'3" SG and 6'1" PG.

If he's being looked at as a potential trade chip then that sounds good,  but that wouldn't help much unless were sending one of our many PFs out with him.

Stephenson, Bogans and Sully for Love? Maybe.   I'd be ok with that.   Wolves probably wouldn't though since they don't seem too interested in Sully.

There are literally a couple of guys that I'd hate to see on our team - Stephenson and Wade.

These are absolutely the opposite of what this team has been through the years and I'd consider it a treachery of Celtics Pride if we get either of the 2. I don't care how talented or productive they are.

Just my 2 cents, moving on...

"We do so many defensive drills in practice, I come home and I'm putting the press on my woman, denying her the ball.
Y'all are laughing, but it's sad. I go home and deny the wing."
