'Dream Roster' and 'Kevin Love' are mutually exclusive, to me.

Not that I won't root for him if he ends up here, of course.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
My dream roster is that all of these players can play to their utmost potential....

PG: Rondo/Pressey or T-Will
SG: Dion Waiters/Chris Johnson
SF: Green/PP
PF: Love/KO
C: Sanders/FA/FA

I am not really in the K-Love boat, but I would be thrilled with this if:

1.) we kept KO especially, but also Wallace, Bass, Bayless.  We will need a bench.  We might have to give up Wallace just to make salaries work
2.) we don't give up the Nets 2018 pick.  That is going to be an incredible pick some day

We will be better than the TWolves with that roster, which is good in the East.  I suppose I'd  also be okay with Exum in place of Wiggins, or Bradley at the 2 and Parker at the 3.

The thing is though: we're not winning a championship with that team and I don't know how we would add another huge piece if we give up all our assets.  We would need Wiggins/Parker/Exum to really emerge in order to have even a remote chance.  We couldn't beat the Clippers with that team, let alone any of the teams playing right now

Dream? Real Dream is adding Durant as well, but that here is a good start  ;D

PG: Rondo     
SG:  Martin
SF: Green         
PF: Love     
C: Cousins 
6th Man : Klynyk and Pierce.  :P

More realistic:

Sully,Wallace, Anthony(exp) Celtics 14', BKN 14' pick, 16' pick,  (maybe Philly 2 sec)  for Love
We can also deal for Martin.

Non-Guaranteed contracts for Asik (or adding another FA center or "easy to trade" for center)

PG: Rondo     
SG:  ? (Martin if traded for/ Bradley)
SF: Green
PF: Love     
 C: Asik  / C   
 
Bench: KO, Bass, Vitor (could re-sign Bradley, Bayless) and some Cap space and assets to work with to improve even further. Our goal would be adding a third star when available obviously.
Goal for next season: Top 2 seed.
Say goodbye to: Turner, Zeller, Sully.

the move next year would be try and get pp and kg on the cheap, with our exception or vet's min, the appeal of retiring as c's, and playing with rondo+love might be enough.

Kg would have to get bought out, which is might be a problem as the nets would be wary of him signing with another team on the cheap, especially the c's

A lineup of Rondo, Afflalo, Melo, Love and Asik seems somewhat plausible.

But honestly... for the same pipe-dream reasons I think we could land Melo (him demanding a sign-and-trade to Boston so he can join Rondo and Love), you could say the same thing about LeBron James if Miami gets ousted in the ECF.

Yes, that's ridiculous... but if we are talking about tangible dream rosters, why not?

Trade some combo of Wallace + Bass + Sully + Top 8 pick + more picks for Love.    Trade Bradley and a pick for a guy like Afflalo.  Trade Pierce TPE + a pick for Asik...   and then call up free agent LeBron.  Ask him if he wants to join the party?... Miami would probably rather take Green + Expiring contracts + picks rather than let LeBron walk for nothing.

PG - Rondo
SG - Afflalo
SF - King James
PF - Kevin Love
C - Asik

or if we're going total pipe-dream scenario, find a way to land Love without giving up our top pick.. and then draft Embiid or Wiggins.

PG - Rondo
SG - Afflalo
SF - King James
PF - Love
C - Embiid

or

PG - Rondo
SG - Wiggins
SF - King James
PF - Love
C - Asik

Of course... any scenario should involve Paul Pierce with the MLE.   And also, use a time machine to add Prime Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and the Monsters from Space Jam.

Beating a dead horse but I'll throw it out there again.

Rondo/Lin
Afflalo/#17
Green/Pierce
Love/Bass
Asik/KO

Maybe not my "dream" lineup... But that lineup has potential to actually happen within the realm of reality.

Dream but realistically feasible (though it would never happen)

Rondo/Bayless
Gordon/Brewer
Anthony/Pierce
Love/Olynyk
Asik/Humphries
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Bigs - Shaquille O'Neal, Victor Wembanyama
Wings -  Lebron James
Guards - Luka Doncic
