Kevin Love’s potential availability is a welcome development for Danny Ainge and the Celtics front office in their quest to improve their team with some “fireworks” this summer.
The Celtics have nine first round draft picks over the next five seasons, a $10 million dollar trade exception, a pool of young talent, and a number of unguaranteed contracts that could help facilitate any deal.
The combination of these trade chips makes it likely the Celtics will be able to outbid any other team for the services of Love and still improve other parts of the roster with whatever assets that remain.
