Kevin Love, it's possible!


The Boston Celtics, who have been on the rise since coach Brad Stevens took over, are expected to sign a star player this offseason. The Celtics, who have 33 million dollars in salary cap space, have never in the history of their storied organization had so much money available to sign players in one particular year, and with the the likelihood of Gerald Wallace being traded with his 10.1 million dollar contract, they will have even more salary cap room. There are many potential stars that the Celtics may sign, but the question is should one of them be Kevin Love?
“I feel like we need to have a busy summer, and we will have a busy summer," said President of Basketball Operations and former Celtics Player Danny Ainge. ESPNBoston.com. "Hopefully we can get some things accomplished that we need to. I think we need to upgrade our talent level on our team, and at the same time I'm very excited about a lot of the individuals that we have. Actually, all the individuals, I thought, played the best basketball of their careers in a lot of cases. So I'm excited about the players that we have, and at the same time I feel like we're not at the same level as a team like Cleveland. We found that out." 
Speaking of Cleveland, their star power forward Kevin Love will be a free agent this offseason and is likely to sign with another team. The favorites to get him include the Boston Celtics, the New York Knicks and his hometown Los Angeles Lakers. Of the three, the Celtics were the only playoff team this year and Brad Stevens is considered to be the perfect coach for Love, which is why the Celtics are one of the favorites to get him. In addition, the Celtics have a plethora of draft picks which they could use to trade for an elite companion for Love.
