THink Boston wants him? Think he wants to be in Boston? They far from being a Melo away from contending. If Boston goes all out they try to land KLove. He is 5 years younger.

Melo in Brooklyn? Now he is really coming home! Makes sense as he don't have to move and might like the big city. Im not sure the chemistry is right but the fact is their roster (BKN) is an interesting mix with many movable pieces.

I'm all about trading tyson so this trade makes that idea easier to swallow for people that say they would rather keep tyson cuz of lack of for sight.

I'm all about fixing the Knicks. Tons of ideas out there. I don't give a **** about anything but orange and blue. So however it gets done I'm with it. There's a million ways to put a team together

Boston's a work in progress but I definitely think they are in a better situation than us. Even if they gave up those picks for Melo, they are due a total of 10 first rounders in the next 5 years, as well as 7 2nd round picks. With the serviceable players that they already have on the books and a slew of cap space, they can upgrade that team quickly ala 2008. Add to the fact that Rondo is a favorite of Melo's, Boston's market (insert joke about the food chain here) and the legacy of the Celtics and I think that it is a realistic possibility.

Agreed, work is boring.

And at least you didn't say Melo for Pierce, straight up.

Not even trade but Melo's trade value is marginalized by his opt out.

It looks like Boston might be taken out if the picture. They're offering a solid package for Love according to Chad Ford. Hopefully this is legit and the deal happens. That wMelo
shift the focus to Melo and bring other teams into the picture.

I continue to get strong signals that the Celtics are trying hard to use pick No. 6 and 17 along with future No. 1s and young players such as Jared Sullinger or Kelly Olynyk to persuade the Minnesota Timberwolves to trade them Kevin Love. One source close to the Wolves said that while Flip Saunders does not want to trade Love, he realizes the team likely will lose him this summer and the package the Celtics are offering is probably the best he's going to get. Given the strength of the draft, picks 6, 13 and 17 could land them three young starters to help them rebuild their roster quickly.

Boston's far from being out of the picture. Remember that they'll have $20 million in cap space even if they do trade for Love. Melo would still be a threat to head there. At the very least, we'll still be able to acquire several picks, albeit late first round picks (Boston has 10 first rounders o er the next 5 years).

If I'm Minnesota I would take that deal especially if they take Martin's contract too.

Ditto, although I'd prefer to dump Brewer and Budinger instead of Martin.
