does this package get us kevin love at the February trade deadline?

Doubt it...

Timberwolves, reportedly, rejected a Tristan Thompson, Waiters, and the #1 draft pick (before it became Bennett) for Love.

Especially after seeing what Adelman can do with a healthy Timberwolves team.

Love will only become available if he makes it clear that he won't be returning to Minnesota. At that point, Green has to have proven he's a consistent 20 PPG scorer to be enough value for a Love.

The first from last year had no future all stars in it, well at least not from the potential that had been displayed in college, hence you have a Cav's team willing to trade the 1st pick.

The 2014 draft has been branded with no less then 3 future ALL Stars.

All that being said the Twolves are not trading Love. Why pay Pekovic 60mil/4yr contract this off-season if the Twolves had any plans to move Love.

does this package get us kevin love at the February trade deadline? Assuming these players can improve their stock a little bit (not a lot)...

- jeff green
- avery bradley
- marshon brooks
- kelly olynyk

- two first rounders.

for kevin love.

or will we have to include sully?

They only trade Love if he doesn't want to extend contract. If he won't extend in Minny, unlikely he extends here.

Assuming they miss the playoffs, I think Love ends up in a Laker uniform. He's the one top-tier talent that I can actually see ending up there.

We're not getting Kevin Love at the deadline.

We're not getting Kevin Love at the deadline.

But, if we trade away Rondo, and all root for the worst record in NBA history, we're sure to get him (or somebody way better than him) either in this year's draft or shortly thereafter, right?

I don't like Kevin Love, so yes. We'll 100% get someone better than him in the next draft, even if we pick 30th.

I dont think ainge would trade 2 picks for Love without an extension in place. And i dont think Love is going to sign an extension with anyone that isnt an instant contender. After all these years in Minnesota he deserves to try the unrestricted free agent market. The lakers appear to be a favorite to land him.

To the OP's question, i think it is too early to tell if that was a good enough package to land Love. As others have said, the Celtics would have to be a bottom 3 team in February to have a chance at pulling it off.

Green is never going to be enough value for Love.

I dont think tha package is enough, I also think Aldridge is the more likely target. T-Wolves have built a nice team around Love and should keep him happy. Blazers still leave alot to be desired and could be left with a disgruntle star by seasons end.
