Woj: Boston to sell Kevin Love on pursuing group of Love, Robin Lopez & Pierce

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

This would make me cry if true because all we would have to do is lose a pick for GWall? Someone break down the "monies!"

[TA9]

That doesn't strike me as a particularly strong selling point for either of the three guys.

Danny Ainge: "Now Kevin, do you want to play with Kyrie and LeBron or join us in Boston where you could play with a guy pondering his retirement and Robin Lopez??" !!

They will probably try to sell him on being coached by Brad Stevens and playing with a young group of guys that has a lot of potential

[GetLucky]

What is Woj even doing? None of these tweets make sense, and they are relatively incoherent in relation to each other.

How about

Greg Monroe
Kevin Love
Paul Pierce
Avery Bradle
Marcus Smart

 And If you sub Thomas in for Smart you have Monroe who kicks but inside, and we actually would have four shooters around him! And I can finally live with Avery's limitations and he would be a great complimentary player here.

If you have that team - put Crowder ahead of Pierce and bring Pierce off the bench.  Anyone remember Pierce's last season here?  He can't do it every night.

Sources tell ESPN.com that the Los Angeles Lakers and the Celtics are among the teams planning ‎to make a run at Love in free agency. Sources say that the Portland Trail Blazers, furthermore, are likely to pursue the former Oregon high school star in the event that LaMarcus Aldridge -- as many league executives expect -- flees the Blazers in free agency.

If we land those guys...

EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS BABYYYY

I mean, I get it from the standpoint of allowing Love to be the focal point on offense in Boston, but... if you're using 37-year-old Paul Pierce as your selling point, I'm not particularly confident.

(And from Pierce's perspective, I just don't see any reason to think he'd be more confident in Stevens, Love, and Lopez over playing with Doc, CP3, Blake, and possibly DeAndre).

It's the usual list of reasons:

Easier path in the East
Only have to beat the Cavs
Return home etc

If they could get WCS and those group of guys A+ offseason

[LarBrd33]

between our backup point guard, Robin Lopez and 48 year old Paul Piece (who we don't even have on our roster), I don't know how Kevin Love could possibly say no. 

[PhoSita]

Selling a major free agent on your team by dangling the possibility of playing with a more expensive version of a center already on your roster and the 38 year old version of a guy who won a title and Finals MVP with your team 7 years ago.

Brilliant.

I think leading up to trade deadline takes the cake 

[LHR]

I think it's far more likely now that the Celtics use these picks to shed Gerald Wallace than it is to trade up.  This is what I sensed all along - especially with how forthright they've been about moving up in the draft. I mean they announced it on their Twitter feed for goodness sake.  We'll know tomorrow night obviously but if it's likely the front office feels they'll do well in free agency, the ideal plan is to trade the picks to drop Gerald.
