Boston is nothing but LOVE!

[rondohondo]

I think so.  Cleveland not gonna pay him and Tristan when they can win a title without.  People think he'll go to la or Dallas bit I think he has a chance to be a real go to star here

TAMPERING ITS TAMPERING TAMPERING WOOO WOOO WOOO WOOO TAMPERING TAMPERING

How many draft picks do the Celtics give up?

[Chief]

I'd give Sully, KO, Gerald and all the picks this year.

Uh oh--guess he's given up on Aldridge.

I think he's trying to woo all the big names.  I doubt he (or Ainge) is going to go all in with their recruiting efforts on one guy - need to make a play at every big name.

I swear though, if Danny could work out a way to get Aldridge here I would be so rediculously happy that I wouldn't care what happens with the rest of the off-season or the next 4 years - I would be partitioning to have a gold Danny Ainge statue erected in my backyard haha

Uh oh--guess he's given up on Aldridge.

I think we could get both   

[TheFlex]

Please...

If Kevin Love comes to Boston, I'm naming my first born son Kevin. Kevin Kim. Just another Korean born America/twinkie.

TAMPERING ITS TAMPERING TAMPERING WOOO WOOO WOOO WOOO TAMPERING TAMPERING

But we're playing from the Lebron/D Wade book of tampering.

It's not tampering when referring to player-player contact.

[BringToughnessBack]

is it not tampering according to nba definition? Waiting til finals were over and Love opting out might have made more sense, especially if this comes back to cost us future picks. IT is an employee of the Celtics.

"Article 35A of the NBA Constitution states that it's a violation of the league's anti-tampering rule for any person affiliated with an NBA team to directly or indirectly (i) entice, induce, or persuade, or attempt to entice, induce or persuade, any player, coach, GM or other person under contract to any other NBA team to enter into negotiations for or relating to that person's services or to negotiate or contract for such services, or (ii) otherwise interfere with the employment relationship between that employee and the other NBA team."

IT might get a warning, but that's it at most.  There's probably more outright tampering in the NBA than anywhere else, but it's rarely punished.
